Chapter XXI: Front Matter (21)

174. ‘on earth peace, goodwill towards men.’

177 ff. ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.’

204. _waited_, ‘attended to.’

235. _devised_, ‘divided’: cp. _Conf. Amantis_, ii. 3264.

236 ff. ‘nevertheless the law stands so reasonably established by man’s wit, that they can stand firm without that’ (i. e. without the help of the Church).

266. Cp. Prol. 795, ‘The comun ryht hath no felawe,’ that is, none to take its part.

278 f. _deserved To him._ The reading is right. It means ‘earned by service rendered to him’: cp. _Conf. Amantis_, iv. 3577, ‘Thogh I no deth to the deserve.’

281 ff. For the nine worthies see Caxton’s Preface to Mallory’s _Morte d’Arthur_.

295 f. The question of winning a ‘chase’ at tennis is not one which is decided at once by the stroke that is made, but depends on later developments.

330 f. Cp. _Conf. Amantis_, vii. 3161*.

337 ff. _Conf. Amantis_, ii. 3187 ff.

345. _at al_, ‘altogether.’

354. _the lieve of lothe_, ‘they who were now loved but had before been hated’ (by God).

356. I read ‘weren’ for the metre. However the case may be with Chaucer, there is no instance elsewhere in Gower of elision prevented by caesura. The cases that have been quoted are all founded on misreadings.

365 f. Cp. _Conf. Amantis_, viii. 2988*.

379. _of pes_, ‘with regard to peace.’

382. _see the werre_, that is, ‘look to the war’: cp. ll. 137, 144, 281 ff. The reading ‘sese’ was invented by Wright.

REX CELI DEUS, &c. This piece is to a great extent an adaptation of the original version of _Vox Clamantis_, vi. cap. 18, as it stands in the Digby MS. The first eight lines are identically the same. Then follows in the _Vox Clamantis_,

‘Ipse meum iuuenem conseruet supplico Regem,’ &c.

Of the remainder, as we have it here, ll. 25 f., 31-33, 36-39, 41 f., 45-48 correspond with slight variations to lines in the _Vox Clamantis_ version, but the arrangement of them is different.

10. _Te que tuum regnum_, ‘Thee and thy kingdom,’ a quite common position of ‘que’ in Gower’s Latin. So below, ll. 49, 50, 53, and often elsewhere.

35. So also _Conf. Amantis_, vii, _after_ l. 1984.

GLOSSARY

AND

INDEX OF PROPER NAMES

The general resemblance between Gower and Chaucer in the matter of language makes a comparison of their English vocabularies almost a matter of course. Chaucer’s word-list is naturally much more extensive than Gower’s, not only on account of the superior genius of the writer, but also because of the greater extent and variety of his work, Gower’s English work being less than half of Chaucer’s in amount, and consisting of verse only, while nearly a fourth part of Chaucer’s is prose. We find, however, that Gower has more than six hundred words which are not used by Chaucer. Most of these are comparatively new formations from French or Latin, but there is also among them a fair sprinkling of old-established English words, some of which no doubt were falling into disuse. Such words are, for example: adryh, aghte, anele, arecche, areche, arere _v._, beȝete, bysne, eldemoder, enderday, ferke, forȝifte, forlie, forworþe, frede, ȝeme, gladschipe, goodschipe, grede (gradde), griþ, heveneriche, kingesriche, lere (= loss), lich (= corpse), metrede, miele, mone (3), mull, orf, orped, rowe _v._ (= dawn), sawht, skiere, spire _v._, spousebreche, þarmes, tome _s._, tote, tyh (_pret._), tyt _adv._, wow, yhte.

Of the rest the following (among others) are words for which no authority earlier than Gower is cited in the _New English Dictionary_ (A-I): those for which Gower is the sole authority are printed in italics.

abeche, _ablaste_, abord, abroche _adv._, accidence, _agrope_, altemetrie, _apostazied_, apparantie, approbacion, artificier, aspirement, assignement, _assobre_, assote _v._, astraied, attempte _v._, _attitled_, avant _adv._, _avantance_, babe, baldemoine, balke _v._, baske, bass _adj._ (‘base’), bedawe, bederke, befole (‘befool’), belwinge, _bethrowe_, _bewympled_, bienvenue, bombard, brothell, _brygantaille_, calculacion, _caliphe_, carte (= writing), chacable, chace (at tennis), chance _v._, chevance, circumference, client, _coise_, cokard, cokerie (‘cookery’), compense, conclave, concordable, congelacion, congruite, contempt, contourbe, courbe _s._ and _adj._, decas, deificacion, delaiement, delate (= dilate), depos _s._, _desclos_ _adj._, desclose _v._, desobeie, desobeissance, dispers, distillacion, _doubtif_, drunkeschipe, _duistre_, effeminat _adj._, eloquent, enbrouderie (‘embroidery’), enclin, encluyed, encourtined, enfile, enheritance, _ensamplerie_, entendable, entendance, entendant, epitaphe, esmaie, espeir, espleit (‘exploit’), exalacion, excessif, excitacioun, _excusement_, expectant, faie _adj._, fieverous, fixacioun, flacke, folhaste, folhastif, forcacche, forge _s._, _forstormed_, forsueie, forthrere (= furtherer), froise, gaignage, gamme, genitals, godward, gule, hepe (= hook), heraldie, hovedance, injustice, interruption, intersticion, inthronize.

Of these nearly half are used in the English of the present day.

For the remainder of the alphabet I content myself with calling attention to the following, without venturing on any statement about their earlier use:

justificacion, liberal, liberalite, lien (= bond), lugge, mathematique, matrone, mechanique, mecherie, menable, mineral, moevement, multitude, oblivion, obstinacie, occupacion, original, passible, perjurie, philliberd (= filbert), piereles, pilage, pleintif _adj._, pointure, porte (= porthole), preparacion, presage, preserve, proclame, prophetesse, providence, purefie, raile _s._, recepcion, recreacion, relacion, renounce, reptil, resemblance, restauratif, revelen, riff (= reef of a sail), sale, salvage, scharnebud, scisme, sculpture, seintefic, solucion, specifie, sprantlen, spume, stacion, studious, substitucion, supplante, supporte, temprure, tenetz (= tennis), terremote, tonsure, transpose, trompette.

In matters of vocabulary my obligations are first and principally to the _New English Dictionary_, then to Prof. Skeat’s Chaucer Glossary, to Stratmann’s _Middle Engl. Dictionary_ (ed. Bradley), and to Halliwell’s _Dictionary of Archaisms_. With reference especially to Gower I may mention the dissertation by G. Tiete (Breslau, 1889).

The following Glossary is meant to include all the words used in Gower’s English Works, with their various forms of spelling and (where necessary) of inflexion, accompanied with such references as are required for verification of the forms given and for illustration of the different uses and meanings of the words. As a rule, when a word occurs more than once, at least two references are given, but this statement does not apply to inflexional forms. If a word presents any difficulty or is used in a variety of meanings, the number of references is proportionally increased. A complete set of references is given for proper names.

The _Confessio Amantis_ is referred to by P., i, ii, iii, &c., P. standing for the Prologue, and the Roman numerals for the successive books. PP. stands for the poem _In Praise of Peace_. Word-forms which are not found in the Fairfax MS., or only in the latter part of it, which is written by a different hand, are sometimes enclosed in parentheses. These are also used occasionally to indicate variation of spelling: thus =dissencioun (-on)= means that the word is spelt either with ‘-oun’ or ‘-on’ termination, =wher(e)= indicates that ‘wher’ and ‘where’ are alternative forms. In all cases where ‘y’ is used to represent ‘ȝ,’ that fact is indicated by ‘(ȝ)’ placed after the word when it occurs in its place, as =beyete (ȝ)=

The grammatical abbreviations are, _s._ substantive, _a._ adjective, _v._ verb, _v.a._ verb active, _v.n._ verb neuter, _v.a.n._ verb active and neuter, _3 s.pres._ 3rd person singular present tense, _pret._ past tense, _pp._ past participle, _def._ definite form of adjective, &c.

In many cases an explanation is given of the meaning of words for the convenience of readers, but no discussion as to their meaning or origin is admitted in the Glossary.
