To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
186. ' I pray that she may fall fairly,' that she may light upon good fortune. All the MSS. have j^«; otherwise we might read ^er, as such is the more usual idiom, in which case it would mean — 'that it may befall her fairly.' We have a similar case in the Manciple's Prologue, H 40, where six MSS. have the usual idiom ' foule mot thee falle,' whilst the EUesmere MS. alone has 'foule mot thou falle.' For a similar variation, cf. 1. 277 below with A. 180, i. e. with the corresponding line in the ...earlier text. 191. ' For, as regards me, neither of them is dearer or more hateful than the other ; I am not yet retained on the side of either of them.' The sense oiwith-holden is detained, kept back, hence reserved to one side, committed to a particular view. 195. Things werk (A. 79), i. e. poem. Of another tonne, out of quite a different cask. Cf. ' Nay, thou shalt drinken of another tonne Er that I go '; C. T., D 170. Cf. Rom. Rose (French Text), 6838. 196. Swich thing, such a thing as the strife between the Leaf and the Flower.
