who openly speak evil of others, and z. those who under the cloak 
of friendship slander others. The latter is stated to be far the 
worse. In an Old Eng. Miscellany (E. E. Text Soc. ed. Morris), 
p. 187, we are told that ‘‘ Alle dacbyfares heo wendep to helle.”— 
Rev. W. W. Skeat, note to P. Plowman, B. v. 89. 
*‘The friend doth hate.” The edition of 1585 reads, evidently 
by a misprint, frends.

scabbie, mangie, scurvie.”—Cotgrave. It occurs twice in the 
““Romaunt of the Rose,” ll. 988 and 6190. In the form rimzsh, 
signifying ‘‘ wild, jolly, unruly, rude,” it is found among the York- 
shire words in Thoresby’s Letter to Ray, reprinted by the Eng. 
Dial. Soc. ‘‘Rennish,” in the sense of ‘furious, passionate,” 
which is in Ray’s collection of North-country words, is, perhaps, 
another form of the word.

107. 1. “Do show” (to who thou wouldst to know). The meaning

English version, with the following title: ‘‘ Eight of Saint Barnardes 
verses, translated out of Latin | into english by this Aucthor for one

under the signature of ‘“‘ My Luck is Loss.” The following is the 
first verse, transcribed for comparison with Tusser’s version :
