ADDENDA.
The number of references might be largely increased; but I hope that the most material ones have been recorded. Of the new words found in the Complaint of Womanly Noblesse (see vol. iv. p. xxv), some have been included above. But I may here draw attention to allegeaunce, alleviation, in l. 22; and conforme, I conform, in l. 17. Other notable words are outrance (l. 26), souvenance (l. 14), and unbuxumnesse (l. 27). The occurrence of conforme is important, as shewing Chaucer's knowledge of the word; for the reading confirme in B 4. p 7. 61 is certainly an error for conforme. I here subjoin a few additional references and notes.
Allegeaunce, s. alleviation, 24. 22 (vol. iv. p. xxvi).
Altherbest, adv. best of all, 25. 28 (vol. iv. p. xxviii).
Amonges, prep. amongst, D 952.
Answere, s. answer, D 1050.
Arryven, v. arrive, come, D 922.
Ars-metryke, s.; the word looks like ars metrica, but this merely represents a popular mistake; it is really a variety of the word arithmetic; see that word in the New E. Dict., and Zupitza's notes to Guy of Warwick, p. 346.
Auctoritee, s. authority, D 1208.
Auctour, s. originator, origin, dispenser, model, 24. 28 (vol. iv. p. xxvi.)
Boistous, adj. rude, 25. 27 (vol. iv. p. xxviii).
Cast up, imp. s. lift up, D 1249.
Cheyne, s. chain; hence, trace of a cart, &c., 26. 33 (vol. iv. p. xxx).
Conforme, 1 pr. s. conform, 24. 17 (vol. iv. p. xxvi).
Darraine with, v. fight against, 26. 18 (vol. iv. p. xxx).
Displesaunce, s. displeasure, 24. 11 (vol. iv. p. xxvi).
Duresse, s. constraint, misery, 24. 15 (vol. iv. p. xxvi).
Eche, v. augment, 25. 19. (vol. iv. p. xxviii).
Enbrace, v. enfold, 26. 44 (vol. iv. p. xxx).
Fere, s. fear, D 1022.
Ferre, adv. comp. further, used for far, 26. 11 (vol. iv. p. xxix).

Governaunce, s. self-control, 24. 2, 33 (vol. iv. pp. xxv, xxvi).
Grete, def. adj. great, D 865; pl. D 1216.
Grounde, s. foundation, 26. 6 (vol. iv. p. xxix).
Gyde, v. conduct, remove, 26. 31 (vol. iv. p. xxx).
Halt, pr. s. considers, D 1185. See Holde.
Hidde, pt. s. hid, D 1081.
Ho, stop! saye ho, say 'stop!' 26. 17 (vol. iv. p. xxix).
Jubbe; see p. 138. It appears that the jubbe held four gallons; see Expeditions of the Earl of Derby, ed. L. T. Smith, Camden Soc., p. 154, l. 21.
Swerve, v. swerve, turn aside, 25. 29 (vol. iv. p. xxviii).
To-kerve, pr. s. subj. cut asunder, 26. 39 (vol. iv. p. xxx). The MS. has the kerue, giving no sense.
GLOSSARY TO FRAGMENTS B AND C OF THE ROMAUNT OF THE ROSE.
FRAGMENT B = ll. 1706-5810.

The following Glossary is separated from the preceding because Fragments B and C of the Romaunt are not by Chaucer. See, on this point, the Introduction to Vol. i.
