page 54 note a There is no stanza added to this title in our MS.; but another copy of the poem in the Harleian MS. 2251, f. 2 b., ends as follows:—
“Comforth al thristy, and drynke with gladnes,
Rejoyse with myrth, though ye have nat to spende.
The tyme is come to avoyden your distres.

Is wele disposed in wille, and to defend
His lond and peple in dede with kynne and myght.
Goode lyf and longe I pray to God hym send,
And that Seynt George be with hym in his ryght!”
