+[Transcriber's note: Until recently this work was attributed to John
+Lydgate, but now most scholars consider that the author is unknown. The
+first mention of Lydgate's authorship of this work was made by Stephen
+Hawes in 1505 as one of Lydgate's seven major works. But many scholars
+have doubted over the years that this poem was written by Lydgate,
+because the style used doesn't greatly resemble the style of Lydgate's
+other works, and the vocabulary is somewhat more modern than Lydgate is
+known to have used. Modern scholars believe that this work was written
+between 1478 and 1483 (about forty years after Lydgate's death).
+Analysis of style and vocabulary have led scholars to conclude that the
+author might have been a woman. For further information about this poem
+please see The Assembly of Gods, edited by Jane Chance, published by
+Medieval Institute Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1999, ISBN:
+1580440223, which is also available online at
+http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/asint.htm.
+
+The book from which this e-book was transcribed is a fascimile reprint
+of the third printing of this book, made by Wynkyn de Worde circa 1500.
+The book was printed in blackletter font known as Wynkyn de Worde's type
+3, and uses many abbreviations, which I have expanded and rendered
+inside parenthesis, eg., {x}. The abbreviations used in this book are:
+
+ *Macron over the letter. The most common one, usually meaning
+ missing "n" or "m" after the letter. But in some cases might also
+ mean missing "e," "er" or "re" after the letter. This happens
+ usually when p, q or r have macrons.
+ *Little e over Middle-English thorn, meaning "the."
+ *Little t over Middle-English thorn, meaning "that."
+ *Little u over Middle-English thorn, meaning "thou."
+ *Little t over w, meaning "with."
+ *Middle-English yogh, representing "gh."
+ *Superscripted 9 after letter, meaning missing "us." Used only at
+ the end of the word.
+ *Superscripted 2 after letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re."
+ Used only at the end of the word.
+ *Stretched s, looking like integral sign, meaning missing "e" or "i"
+ before letter s.
+ *Dot over the letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re" after the
+ letter. Usually used with d, t, e and u. Combination q+d with dot
+ means "quod."
+ *Strike through letter, meaning missing "e," "er" or "re" after the
+ letter. Usually used with p, v and s. Striked through p might also
+ mean missing "ro" or "or" after p.

+Occasionally there were some letters printed upside down. I have
+rendered them inside brackets, e.g., [x]. The poem uses two types of
+punctuation--a dot, meaning longer pause, and a slash, meaning shorter
+pause or comma. I have corrected many errors and noted them on a right
+margin. Also this printing was missing three lines and one line had
+several letters missing from the middle of the line. I have marked them
+on a right margin and the correct reading supplied from the modern
+edition. There were a couple of places where the word "nota" or "note"
+was printed, but the actual notes weren't found in this reprint. There's
+a fair chance that those notes were never printed. The original page
+images are available with html edition.]

+
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+

+ Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+ Chief Executive and Director
+ gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p><b>Transcriber's note</b>: Until recently this work was attributed to John
+Lydgate, but now most scholars consider that the author is unknown. The
+first mention of Lydgate's authorship of this work was made by Stephen
+Hawes in 1505 as one of Lydgate's seven major works. But many scholars
+have doubted over the years that this poem was written by Lydgate,
+because the style used doesn't greatly resemble the style of Lydgate's
+other works, and the vocabulary is somewhat more modern than Lydgate is
+known to have used. Modern scholars believe that this work was written
+between 1478 and 1483 (about forty years after Lydgate's death).
+Analysis of style and vocabulary have led scholars to conclude that the
+author might have been a woman. For further information about this poem
+please see The Assembly of Gods, edited by Jane Chance, published by
+Medieval Institute Publications, Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1999, ISBN:
+1580440223, which is also available online at
+<a href="http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/teams/asint.htm">Rochester University</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The book from which this e-book was transcribed is a fascimile reprint
+of the third printing of this book, made by Wynkyn de Worde circa 1500.
+The book was printed in blackletter font known as Wynkyn de Worde's type
+3, and uses many abbreviations, which I have expanded and rendered in <i>italics</i>. The abbreviations
+used in this book are:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><img src="images/en.gif" alt="e{n}" title="e{n}" />, <img src="images/om.gif" alt="o{m}" title="o{m}" />,
+<img src="images/pre.gif" alt="p{re}" title="p{re}" />, <img src="images/que.gif" alt="q{ue}" title="q{ue}" />,
+<img src="images/re.gif" alt="r{e}" title="r{e}" />&mdash;Macron over the letter. The most common one, usually meaning
+missing "n" or "m" after the letter. But in some cases might also mean
+missing "e", "er" or "re" after the letter. This happens usually when p, q or
+r have macrons.</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/the.gif" alt="{the}" title="{the}" />&mdash;Little e over Middle-English thorn, meaning "the."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/that.gif" alt="{that}" title="{that}" />&mdash;Little t over Middle-English thorn, meaning "that."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/thou.gif" alt="{thou}" title="{thou}" />&mdash;Little u over Middle-English thorn, meaning "thou."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/with.gif" alt="{with}" title="{with}" />&mdash;Little t over w, meaning "with."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/yogh.gif" alt="{with}" title="{with}" />&mdash;Middle-English yogh, representing "gh."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/us.gif" alt="n{us}" title="n{us}" />&mdash;Superscripted 9 after letter, meaning missing "us." Used only at the
+end of the word.</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/ore.gif" alt="o{re}" title="o{re}" />&mdash;Superscripted 2 after letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re." Used
+only at the end of the word.</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/is.gif" alt="{i}s" title="{i}s" />&mdash;Stretched s, looking like integral sign, meaning missing "e" or "i"
+before letter s.</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/der.gif" alt="d{er}" title="d{er}" />, <img src="images/ere.gif" alt="e{re}" title="e{re}" />,
+<img src="images/ter.gif" alt="t{er}" title="t{er}" />, <img src="images/uer.gif" alt="u{er}" title="u{er}" />&mdash;Dot over the letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re" after the letter.
+Usually used with d, t, e and u. Combination q+d with dot means
+"quod."</li>
+
+<li><img src="images/pro.gif" alt="p{ro}" title="p{ro}" />, <img src="images/ser.gif" alt="s{er}" title="s{er}" />,
+<img src="images/ver.gif" alt="v{er}" title="v{er}" />&mdash;Strike through letter, meaning missing "e", "er" or "re" after the
+letter. Usually used with p, v and s. Striked through p might also
+mean missing "ro" or "or" after p.</li></ul>
+
+
+<p>Occasionally there were some letters printed upside down. I have
+rendered them inside brackets, e.g., [x]. The poem uses two types of
+punctuation--a dot, meaning longer pause, and a slash, meaning shorter
+pause or comma. I have corrected many errors and <ins class = "correction" title = "like this">noted them</ins>.
+Also this printing was missing three lines and one line had
+several letters missing from the middle of the line. They are marked and
+the correct reading is supplied from the modern edition mentioned above.
+There were a couple of places where the word "nota" or "note" was printed,
+but the actual notes weren't found in this reprint. There's a fair chance
+that those notes were never printed. The original page images are
+displayed on the left margin and each links to a larger view.</p>

+
+<p>The work here reprinted formed part of the famous volume of black-letter
+tracts (formerly marked AB. 4. 58), which came to the University Library
+in 1715 by the gift of King George the First with the rest of the
+library of John Moore, Bishop of Ely. No other copy of this edition is
+recorded to be in existence.</p>
+
+<p>The types used are Caxton's type 3 (for the title) and Wynkyn de Worde's
+type 3, with final m and n etc. from type 1 (in the rest of the book).
+This type 3 is not known to have been used before 1499.</p>
+
+<p>Mr Sayle remarks that the woodcut illustration is taken from Caxton's
+second edition (ab. 1483-4) of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.</p>

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
