Girt with a ceynt of sylk. with barres smale
Of his array / telle I no lenger tale

Of alle deyntees / þat men koude bithynke

tyme: Only Hg and Dl have "tyme" without the article. All other witnesses the articlie ("the term" Nl). Metriically, the line is possible with or without the extra syllalble (eliding "tyme of" or saying "WIlliam" as a disyllable); Chaucer regularly follows Italian hendecasyllabic verse practice with a unstrssed -e or other syllable following a stress on the tenth syllable of the line. In favour of keeping the Hg version of the line: while Chaucer elsewhere has "the" in the phrase "from the tyme" (thus, GP 44; Knight 2154) the unusual reading without "the" might easily lead scribes to supply a "the" not present in the exemplar. Hence, we take the Hg reading as difficilior lectio. (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jul 2, 2026, 17:47)

fressh fissh and flessh: The Hg reading with "fressh" is supported only by the ungrouped Bo1/Ph2 and by Py, which does on occasion preserve o readings. All other mss agree with Ch El in readings without "fressh". This gives easier metre, as the extra syllable may require that the final stress of the line falls on the eleventh syllable, "-vous", which does not accord with Chaucer's normal practice in the Tales. However, medial -e- in "plentevous" could be suppressed, as often in multisyllables (cf "Caunterbury") and the Hg reading may stand. (Barbara Bordalejo and Peter Robinson, Jun 29, 2026, 08:42)
