Published
English Language Notes 26:1 (1988): 1-3.

Description
The emendation of HF texts F and B, line 1709, to "for no fame nor (MSS "for") such renoun" may be preferable to Skeat's now-standard reading, "For fame ne for such renoun." Similarly, emendation of MSS "loo" (line 1909) to "looth" gives the line better sense.

Chaucer Subjects
