page 28 note [m] I shall beg leave only to add the testimony of our English Homer:

O yongè Hewe of Lyncoln, slayne also,

With cursyd Jewes, as it is notable,

For it is but a lytel while ago;

Pray eke for us, we synful folk unstable,

That of his mercy, God be merciable

On us, his grete mercy multiply,

For the reverence of his mother Mary.
