The line, like many of the others on this panel, is badly damaged but the number of minims suggests “y” rather than “i” for the second glyph. Likewise, the final letters suggest the last word of the line is “compleyne,” but the beginning is entirely missing and thus completing the word would be speculation. ↩

The remnant of the suspension mark is visible above the “m” in mercy. The final letters of the line are easily discernable: a “de” ligature, the remnant of a “y” and “n,” and then the terminal “e.” The minim before the “de” ligature appears to be the upword stroke of the “s” prior, and the appearance of the rest of the word indicates that this is “disdeyne.” ↩

The line here is badly damaged and the remaining lines are entirely missing, but the number of minims in “reyne” combined with the flourish terminating the “e” indicates the spelling here. Likewise, the glyph after the badly damaged “r” in “shoures” is seen elsewhere as the –es abbreviation. The ascender for either the “b” or “d” in “abundaunce” is also visible, but the word is too damaged to determine spelling. ↩
