The text of our father-poet, having remained as + it were in fallow since the time of Tyrwhitt, now presents a rich field + for industry; and, in offering free port and entry to all comments and + suggestions, to be there sifted and garnered up, the pages of "<span + class="sc">Notes and Queries</span>" may soon become a depository from + which ample materials may be obtained for a new edition of Chaucer, now + become an acknowledged desideratum.</p> + + <p>One excellent illustration has lately been added, at page 133., in a + note without signature upon "Nettle in, dock out." If <i>confirmed</i><a + name="footnotetag1" href="#footnote1"><sup>[1]</sup></a>, it will furnish + not only a most satisfactory explanation of that hitherto + incomprehensible phrase, but also a curious example of the faithful + preservation of an exact form of words through centuries of oral + tradition.</p> + + <p>And if the note which precedes it, at page 131., upon a passage in + Palamon and Arcite, is less valuable, it is because it is deficient in + one of the most essential conditions which such communications ought to + possess—that of originality. No suggestion ought to be offered + which had been previously published in connexion with the same subject: + at least in any <i>very obvious</i> place of reference, such as notes or + glossaries already appended to well-known editions of the text.</p> + + <p>Now the precise explanation of the planetary distribution of the + twenty-four hours of the day, given by <span title="e" class="grk" + >ε</span>. in the first portion of his communication, was + anticipated seventy or eighty years ago by Tyrwhitt in his note upon the + same passage of Palamon and Arcite. And with respect to <span title="e" class="grk" + >ε</span>.'s second explanation of the meaning of "houre + inequal," that expression also has been commented upon by Tyrwhitt, who + attributes it to the well-known expansive duration of ancient hours, the + length of which was regulated by that of the natural day at the several + seasons of the year: hence an <i>inequality</i> always existed; except at + the equinoxes, between hours before, and hours after, sunrise. This is + undoubtedly the true explanation, since Chaucer was, at the time, + referring to hours before and after sunrise upon the same day. On the + contrary, <span title="e" class="grk">ε</span>.'s ecliptic hours, + if they ever existed at all (he has cited no authority), would be + obviously incompatible with the planetary disposition of the hours first + referred to.</p> + + <p>I shall now, in my turn, suggest explanations of the two new + difficulties in Chaucer's text, to <!-- Page 202 --><span + class="pagenum"><a name="page202"></a>{202}</span>which, at the + conclusion of his note, <span title="e" class="grk">ε</span>. has + drawn attention.</p> + + <p>The first is, that, "with respect to the time of year at which the + tournament takes place, there seems to be an inconsistency." Theseus + fixes "this day fifty wekes" from the fourth of May, as the day on which + the final contention must come off, and yet the day previous to the final + contention is afterwards alluded to as "the lusty seson of that May," + which, it is needless to say, would be inconsistent with an interval of + fifty <i>ordinary</i> weeks.</p> + + <p>But fifty weeks, if taken in their literal sense of 350 days, would be + a most unmeaning interval for Theseus to fix upon,—it would almost + require explanation as much as the difficulty itself: it is therefore + much easier to suppose that Chaucer meant to imply the interval of a + solar year. Why he should choose to express that interval by fifty, + rather than by fifty-two, weeks, may be surmised in two ways: first, + because the latter phrase would be unpoetical and unmanageable; and, + secondly, because he might fancy that the week of the Pagan Theseus would + be more appropriately represented by a lunar quarter than by a Jewish + hebdomad.</p> + + <p>Chaucer sometimes makes the strangest jumble—mixing up together + Pagan matters and Christian, Roman and Grecian, ancient and modern; so + that although he names Sunday and Monday as two of the days of the week + in Athens, he does so evidently for the purpose of introducing the + allocation of the hours, alluded to before, to which the planetary names + of the days of the week were absolutely necessary. But in the fifty weeks + appointed by Theseus, the very same love of a little display of erudition + would lead Chaucer to choose the <i>hebdomas lunæ</i>, or lunar quarter, + which the Athenian youth were wont to mark out by the celebration of a + feast to Apollo on every seventh day of the moon. But after the first + twenty-eight days of every lunar month, the weekly reckoning must have + been discontinued for about a day and a half (when the new moon was what + was called "in coitu," or invisible), after which a new reckoning of + sevens would recommence. Hence there could be but four hebdomades in each + lunar month; and as there are about twelve and a half lunar months in a + solar year, so must there have been fifty lunar weeks in one solar + year.</p> + + <p>It will explain many anomalies, even in Shakspeare, if we suppose that + our early writers were content to show their knowledge of a subject in a + few particulars, and were by no means solicitous to preserve, what + moderns would call <i>keeping</i>, in the whole performance.</p> + + <p>The next difficulty, adverted to by <span title="e" class="grk" + >ε</span>., is the mention of the <span class="scac">THIRD</span> + as the morning upon which Palamon "brake his prison," and Arcite went + into the woods "to don his observaunce to May."</p> + + <p>There is not perhaps in the whole of Chaucer's writings a more + exquisite passage than that by which the latter circumstance is + introduced; it is well worth transcribing:—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"The besy larke, the messager of day,</p> + <p>Salēweth in hire song the morwē gray;</p> + <p>And firy Phebus riseth up so bright,</p> + <p>That all the orient laugheth at the sight;</p> + <p>And with his stremēs drieth in the greves</p> + <p>The silver dropēs hanging on the leves."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>Such is the description of the morning of the "thridde of May;" and + perhaps, if no other mention of that date were to be found throughout + Chaucer's works, we might be justified in setting it down as a random + expression, to which no particular meaning was attached. But when we find + it repeated in an entirely different poem, and the same "observaunce to + May" again associated with it, the conviction is forced upon us that it + cannot be without some definite meaning.</p> + + <p>This repetition occurs in the opening of the second book of <i>Troilus + and Creseide</i>, where "the thridde" has not only "observaunce to May" + again attributed to it, but also apparently some peculiar virtue in + dreams. No sooner does Creseide behold Pandarus on the morning of the + third of May, than "<i>by the hond on hie, she tooke him fast</i>," and + tells him that she had thrice dreamed of him that night. Pandarus replies + in what appears to have been a set form of words suitable to the + occasion—</p> + + <div class="poem"> + <div class="stanza"> + <p class="hg3">"Yea, nece, ye shall faren well the bet,</p> + <p>If God wull, all this yeare."</p> + </div> + </div> + <p>Now unless the third of May were supposed to possess some unusual + virtue, the dreaming on that morning could scarcely confer a whole year's + welfare. But, be that as it may, there can at least be no doubt that + Chaucer designedly associated <i>some</i> celebration of the advent of + May with the morning of the third of that month.</p> + + <p>Without absolutely asserting that my explanation is the true one, I + may nevertheless suggest it until some better may be offered. It is, that + the association may have originated in the invocation of the goddess + Flora, by Ovid, on that day (<i>Fasti</i>, v.), in order that she might + inspire him with an explanation of the Floralia, or Floral games, which + were celebrated in Rome from the 28th of April to the <i>third</i> of + May.</p> + + <p>These games, if transferred by Chaucer to Athens, would at once + explain the "gret feste" and the "lusty seson of that May."</p> + + <p>Supposing, then, that Chaucer, in the <i>Knight's Tale</i>, meant, as + I think he meant, to place the great combat on the anniversary of the + fourth of May—that being the day on which Theseus had intercepted + the duel,—then the entry into Athens of the rival companies would + take place on <!-- Page 203 --><span class="pagenum"><a + name="page203"></a>{203}</span>(Sunday) the second, and the sacrifices + and feasting on the <i>third of May</i>, the last of the Floralia.</p> + + <p class="author">A.

The coat of arms on the tablet to + his memory indicates that he married a Coplestone. His daughter Catherine + died in August, 1695. The first edition of the <i>Practical Treatise + concerning Evil Thoughts</i> was printed at Exeter in 1690, and was + dedicated to his parishioners.

If the object were + to trace their ancestors or their descendants, much might be added to the + suggestions of E.A.D. by searching the registers at Tiverton, and by + comparing Prince's <i>Worthies of Devon</i>, ed. 1810, p. 213., and + Polwhele's <i>Devon</i>, vol. iii. p. 351., with Harding's + <i>Tiverton</i>; in various parts of which eight or nine individuals of + the name are mentioned; especially vol. i. book ii. p. 114.; vol. ii. + book iii. pp. 101, 102. 167. 183., and book iv., p. 20., where the + connexion of the Chilcotts with the families of Blundell, Hooper, + Collamore, Crossing, Slee, and Hill, is set forth. Failing these, the + object might be attained by reference to the registers at Stogumber, co. + Somerset, and of Northam, near Bideford, with the inscribed floorstones + in the church there. Something might perhaps be learned of their + descendants by reference to the registers at Exeter, and those at + Morchard-Bishop, where a John Chilcott resided in 1700; Nympton St. + George, where a family of the same name lived about 1740; North Molton, + where C.

If you do not agree to abide by all +the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy +all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession. +If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the +terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or +entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8. + +1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be +used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who +agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few +things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See +paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement +and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. See paragraph 1.E below. + +1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation" +or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the +collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an +individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are +located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from +copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative +works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg +are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project +Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by +freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of +this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with +the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by +keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project +Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in +a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check +the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement +before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or +creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project +Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no representations concerning +the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United +States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate +access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently +whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the +phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project +Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, +copied or distributed: + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or +re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included +with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived +from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is +posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied +and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees +or charges. If you are redistributing or providing access to a work +with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the +work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 +through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the +Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or +1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional +terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms will be linked +to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the +permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work. + +1.E.4.

Royalty payments + must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you + prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax + returns.

Contact the +Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. + +1.F. + +1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +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.

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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/23212-h/images/72_et.png b/23212-h/images/72_et.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cd43bc7 --- /dev/null +++ b/23212-h/images/72_et.png diff --git a/23212-h/images/72_thaet.png b/23212-h/images/72_thaet.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..aaccb6e --- /dev/null +++ b/23212-h/images/72_thaet.png |
