[78] _Hic occurrat, &c._] Was no doubt intended for a marginal note, though in MS. (it is wanting in eds.) it is not clearly distinguished from the text.
[79] _In ista cantilena, &c._] Grossly corrupted. The Rev. J. Mitford proposes “_ore stillanti_.” MS. has “_eperit_.”
[81] _Est mihi lasciva pagina, vita proba_] “_Lasciva est nobis pagina, vita proba est._” _Ep._ i. 5.
[82] _Zoe kai psyche ... desuper_] Is plainly a marginal note, though in MS. (it is not in eds.) it is placed after “_Concumbunt Græce_,” &c.
[84] _lyght on thy swete lyttyll_] MS. “lyghten _thy lytyll swete_.”
[85] _Zoe kai psyche_] Eds. “_zoelzepsiche_;” and so MS., with slight variation of spelling: the Latin which precedes shews the true reading. These words are followed in eds. by “Amen;” which MS. rightly gives a little after.
[86] _Aquinates_] Has crept into the text in eds., and is not clearly distinguished from the text in MS. But it is certainly a marginal note—meaning Juvenal, from whom “_Concumbunt Græce_,” &c. is quoted: see _Sat._ vi. 191.
[87] _Concumbunt_] Other eds. “_Concubunt._”
[88] _Sua consequentia, &c._] Another marginal note (not in eds.) which MS. does not clearly distinguish from the text.
[94] _Urania_] Eds. of Day, and Marshe, “_Vxania_.”
[95] _Amen, Amen_] Occurs twice in MS. by a mistake of the transcriber.
[97] _Cum cæteris paribus_] After these words, MS. has the passage “_Candidi lectores ... fovete Psittacum_,” which has been already given: see p. 11.
[98] _Morda_] So MS. afterwards: here “_Merda_.”
[100] _Psittace, perge_] MS. “_Psitago perage_.”
[101] _Morda_] So MS. afterwards: here “_Merda_.”
[102] _Parrot[e]_ Must be considered here as a Latin word, and a trisyllable—u.
[104] _volitans_] MS. “_vtilans_”—not, I think, a mistake for “_rutilans_:” compare _ante_, “Psittace, perge, _volans_,” p. 16, and “I, properans, Parrot,” p. 17.
[105] _notus_] Qy. “_motus_?” but I have no idea what these two lines mean.
[106] _complayndre_] MS. “_complayndra._”
[112] _the world_] MS. “_the world_ the world.”
[113] _revelyng_] So MS. _literatim_,—meant for “ruelyng” (ruling).
[114] _ffylty gorgon_] MS. seems to have “ffyltyrͬgogon,”—the _r_ in the word (apparently) having been drawn through, and another _r_ placed over it, which, I suppose, ought to have stood above the _og_.
