Rev. Alexander Dyce's footnotes to Skelton's  Colin Cloute   (Text at http://www.luminarium.org/editions/colincloute.htm) l. 120   barke]  So MS. Eds. "carke."   Qy. "carpe?"   Compare v. 549.   back l. 191   Sare]  Other eds. "fare."  MS. "sciire."  (Perhaps Skel-             ton wrote "Seir"—and in the next line "appeire."   back l. 341   MS. "Wasa."   back l. 472   Ascendent  a  degre]   This passage seems to be corrupted.             MS. "Assendente a dextre :"  (and compare the Lansdown             MS. quoted below.)   back l. 480   haue none]   MS. has "alone;" and omits the seventy-             eight lines which follow.   Among the Lansdown  MSS.  (762.             fol. 75)  I find the subjointed fragment: " Som men thynke that ye    shall haue penaltie    for your Inyquytie    Note well what to saye    yf yt please the not onely    yt is good for astrollogy    ffor tholomy tolde me    the sonn somtyme to be    In a Signe called ariotte    assendam ad dextram    when Scorpio is descendyng    affatuall fall of one    that syttys now on trone    and rewles all thynge alone    your tethe whet on this bone    Amonge you euery chone    And lett colen clowte alone.                         The profecy of  Skelton                                               1529."             (The name originally written "Skylton."    back l. 559   Howe the Church, &c.]   This passage in MS. stands thus:                            " Some sey holy chyrche haue to mykell                               Som sey they haue tryalytes                               And some sey they brynge pluralites                               And qualifie qualites                               And also tot cotte                               They talke lyke sottes                               Makynge many owte cryes                               That they cannot kepe ther wyffes                               And thus the losselles stryvys."   back l. 882   Another Clementyne also, &c.]   I suspect some corruption             here.  In the MS. the passage stands thus;                            " Another clementyn how frere faby and mo                               Exivit,"  &c.   back
