= 1. 13889. nolpit nappit, struck fast and fiercely: nap is still used to express striking with a hammer, and a nap = a blow, as in 1. 6437. 1. 13902. rught = rugh, rough. Note the t after gh here as in strenght, strenkyght (1. 6276), lenght, &c. 1. 13908. a dart vndull, a dart not dull, i. e. blunt = a sharp dart : see 1. 10548. ll. 13920-7. In the MS. these lines are quite confused: 1. 13923 comes after 1. 13927, and no sense is possible. Perhaps the said ought to be he said, in l. 13927. 1. 13953. kepyng, imprisonment: see 11. 13842-5. 1. 14035. This is another very short line, yet quite complete: compare with 11. 4313, 8989. Observe also, that in the thirty lines, 14006 36, the alliteration dwells on vowels six times. D. D. GLOSSARIAL INDEX.
