Toward the fen bothe Alayn and eek Iohn
And whan the Millere seigh that they were gon

C
Yet kan a Millere make a clerkes berd

Til in a dych they caughte hym at the laste
Wery and weet as beest is in the reyn

god herte: just four manuscripts have "god herte" -- but those four are El Hg and the original writing of Ch and Ad3. Uninflected genitive forms occur for a few words in Middle English: thus "lady chapel" and "fader soule" (Harvard Chaucer pages). From the Middle English Dictionary there appear to be no other instances of "god" as an uninflected genitive, but the analogy is an easy one. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 26, 2026, 11:55)
ne had thow: Metrically this needs to be two syllables in order for "lathe" to fall in the tenth and eleventh syllables. The El reading "nadtow" explicitly achieves that, as does "nad thou" Bo1 Ha4 Ph2. However, the Ch Hg reading (with Ad3/Ha5 and most other mss) can also be read as two syllable with elision in "ne had".
pit: 51 mss (including Ch Ad3/Ha5 from o) have the easier reading "put". However, the support for "pit" from Bo2 El Gg Hg in o makes this the likely ancestral reading.
the capil: Ch alone has "thy capil". (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 22:47)

Group (Traditional): A 4095

Fragment (Riverside): I 4095

make: Hg alone reads -en, mandating a biysyllable, and so having a stressed monosyllable "berd" in the eleventh syllable. While one can parallel this metrical usage in the Tales (e.g. GP 214 "Vn to his ordre he was a noble post"), we accept the reading "make", as in Ch El and every other ms, which with elision has "berd" fall in the tenth syllable. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 11, 2026, 08:54)
al his art: o splits here between El Hg Ad3/Ha5 "al his", supported by all a and most cd, and "al here" Bo2 Ch Gg, supported by b and many ungrouped mss. See note on next line for the suggestion that the confusion of pronouns arises because manuscript punctuation cannot convey the shifts of focus, here from a general statement about how a miller can get the better of any clerk, despite "his art", to an exhortation to leave these two clerks to run after their horse in the fields.
ye: 15 mss, including Ch Hg Ad3/Ha5 from o, a, and other mss scattered across the tradition. Many editors prefer the reading "now", found in El, apparently seeing "ye" here as eyeskip from "ye" in the next line. However, El is supported by just one other o ms, Gg, and by Dl Ps To1 (which may share an ancestor within the ungrouped mss). Further, a case can be made for the dramatic repetition of "ye, lat ..." in this and the next line, introducing Symkyn's gloating request in each second half-line to let the students continue to make fools of themselves, framing his self-admiring "Lo, where he gooth!" in the first half of the next line. In the context of the whole tale, the dramatic magnification of Symkyn's delight in his own cleverness prepares the way for his humiliation. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 22:56)
he gooth: Ch Hg, key mss Cp La high in cd, and all o except for Bo2 El. The failure of many scribes to follow the sudden shifts of subject in Symkyn's speech here, as he congratulates himself on his deception of the students, leads many mss, including El and Gg, to continue the plural in the previous line "let hem goon" (referring to the students) into this line, with "they goon" instead of "he gooth". See the note on "ye" in 177 for the deliberate parallel of the two phrases beginning "ye lat", surrounding Symkyn's self-admiring "Lo where he gooth!" For the inability of manuscript punctuation to represent dramatic performance in these two lines compare MI 605 (A 3793; I 3793).

rennen: a bisyllable is needed, as given explicitly in most mss including El Hg and all o except Ch. While it is possible to read "renne vp" as three syllables, the Hg spelling is a good base for reading this line. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 23:01)
whistle: Ch is alone in reading "swyftly". (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 23:02)
they dide: only El Gg of o (with Dl) read the present "they do". (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 23:04)

dryuen: thus Ch Hg and many other mss, with only El in o and ungrouped Ha4/Ii and He reading "dyrue". Though Hg regularly has "dryuen" as the past participle compare FK 522 (F 1230, V 1230), where Hg, with Ch El and all but a few mss, uses "dryue" as the past participle. The metrical context is near identical: reading a biysllabic form "dryuen" (or "dryue") means that a stressed monosyllable occupies the eleventh syllable of the line: "scorn" here, "knyt" in FK 522. However, while such occurrences are rare in the Tales one would hesistate to assert that Chaucer might not have tolerated them. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 23:09)
men: El alone has "me", likely a simple copying error. (Barbara Bordalejo, Tom Farrell and Peter Robinson, Jul 9, 2026, 23:10)
