Note {2} — Chapter LX
Henry Yule translation
Note 2.—“Ou demeurent sesnes.” Sesnes, Cesnes, Cecini, Cesanae, is a mediæval form of cygnes, cigni, which seems to have escaped the dictionary-makers. It occurs in the old Italian version of Brunetto Latini’s Tresor, Bk. V. ch. xxv., as cecino; and for other examples, see Cathay, p. 125.
