To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wastoure is sent to the east end of Lon- don, but the poem is incomplete, so that the probable final concord of Wynnere and Wastoure is not extant. (3) Wy7inere and Wastoure : its sense and date. The poem contains the oldest known vernacular rendering oi Honi soit qui vial y pense. ' And alle was it one sawe appon Ynglysse tonge Hethyng have the hathell that any harme tkynkes. '' Like Gawayne (which ends with this motto in French, Hony soyt qui mal pence), like Morte Arthure, and like the Awtit...yrs of Arthure, this 12] •WYNNERE AND WASTOURE'; ITS SENSE 93 piece is unquestionably of the Garter or Round Table group. It helps to make clearer why Sir Hew of Eglintoun's visits to England between 1358 and 1369 were so frequently about the time of special tournaments and chivalric functions^ at the court of Edward III. , who in Wynuere and Wastoiire^ just as in Morte Arthiere, shines as a stately figure of chivalry. That it connects English and Scottish history is therefore obvious, and the fact that it rises out of the story of Brennius, a northern king, is in admirable keeping with its quotations from the prophecies of no less a Scottish personage- than Thomas of Erceldoune.
