In the first sense this verb is common in all the Glossaries, but in the latter sense _To go_ it occurs nowhere but in the Gl. to Rob.

Yn al this [tyme] was sir Ywayn Ful straitly _parred_ with mekil payn.

_Yw. and Gaw._ 3227.

[It is undoubtedly equivalent to O.E. _sperre_, or _spere_. Halliwell, s.v. _Parred_, quotes “ȝe are _parred_ in . . . ȝe are so _spered_ in.” So, too, the Ital. _sbarra_ is the Fr. _barre_. Cf. A.S. _sparran_, O.N. _sperra_, Sc. _spar_. Hence the derivation of _park_, O.E. _parrock_, an enclosure.]

Pastees, _n. pl._ Fr. pasties, patés, 644.

Per, _n._ Fr. peer, equal, 989, 2241, 2792.

Pike, _v._ to pitch (used passively), 707. Teut. _pecken_, Lat. _picare_. The verb in Saxon is not extant, but only the n. _pic_.

Pine, _v._ S. to grieve, 1958.

Plat. _See_ Plette.

Plattinde, _part. pr._ tramping along, moving noisily _or_ hurriedly, 2282. From the beating noise of the feet, like Sc. _platch_ (q.v. in Jam.). _See_ Plette.

Priken, _v._ S. to spur a horse, ride briskly, 2639.

Prud, _adj._ S. proud, 302.

Pulten, _pa. t. pl._ so reads the MS. l. 1023, instead of _putten_. Both have the same signification. So in the Romance of _Rob. of Cecyle_, Harl. MS. 1701, f. 94, c. 1, _pulte_ occurs for _put_, placed, and _pylt_ in R. Cœur de L. 4085; pelte, Sir Tr. p. 95. In the _imp._ _Pult_ for _put_, _place_, is used in _Hending the Hende_, MS. Digb. 86. In the signification of _drove forward_, which is nearer to the sense we require, we find _pylte_ in K. Horn, 1433, and R. Glouc. Hence the Engl. word _pelt_. _See_ Putten. Cf. _Pult_ in Gl. to _Will. of Palerne_.

Pund, _n. pl._ S. pounds, 1633.

Put, _n._ cast, throw, 1055. _But_, 1040.

Putten, _v._ to cast, throw, propel forward, 1033, 1044. _Puten_, 1051. _Putte_, _pa. t._ cast, 1052. _Putten_, _pa. t. pl._ cast, threw, 1023, 1031, 1844. From the Fr. _bouter_, Teut. _buitten_, or Belg. _botten_, to drive or propel forward, or, as others suggest, from the Br. _pwtiaw_, which has the same meaning, or Isl. _potta_. From the same root are derived both _Put_ and _But_. Thus to _butt_ in Sc. is to drive at a stone in curling, and to _put_ in Yorksh. is to push with the horns. In the passage before us it is applied to a particular game, formerly in great repute. _See_ Note on l. 1022. Cf. Ramsay’s Poems, ii. 106. The word is still retained in the North, and Sc. V. Jam. and Brockett. See _But_ and _Pulten_.

Putting, Puttinge, _n._ casting, 1042, 1057, 2324.

Pyment, _n._ B.L. spiced wine, 1728. _See_ Note on l. 1726.

Queme, _adj._ S. agreeable, 130, 393. Web., Rits. M. R., Rob. Br., R. Glouc., Gower, Chauc.

Quen, _n._ S. queen, 2760, 2783, &c. _Quenes_, _pl._ 2982.

Qui. _See_ Hwi.

Quic, Quik, _adj._ S. alive, 612, 613, 1405, 2210, 2476, &c., _quik and ded_. This is the usual language of the Inquisitiones post mortem, which commence at the early part of Henry III. reign. For the usage of the term, _see_ Gl. to Sir Tr. p. 98. Yw. and Gaw. 668. Chron. of Engl. 762, &c. The word is preserved in the vulgar version of the Scriptures, and Creed. _Quike_, quick, alert, 1348. _Al quic wede_, 2641. Cf. l. 2387.

Quiste, _n._ S. [_cwide_] bequest, will, 219, 365. _Quede_, K. Alisaund. 8020.

Raþe, _adv._ S. speedily, readily, quickly, 358, &c. (In l. 1335, I prefer considering it as a verb.)

Rathe, _v._ S. [_rædan_] to advise, 1335. A provincial pronunciation of _Rede_. In l. 2817, it is still broader, “Yif ye it wilen and ek _rothe_.” In the same manner _Rode_ is spelt, and was undoubtedly pronounced _Rothe_, Ly Beaus Desc. 425, and _Abode_ is spelt _Abothe_, ib. 1118. Cf. ll. 693, 1681, 2585, of the present poem, in all which instances the _d_ in _rede_ has the sound of _th_.

Recke, _pr. t. subj._ S. may reck, may care, 2047, 2511. Sir Tr. p. 124, &c.

Red, _n._ S. advice, counsel, 180, 518, 826, 1194, 2871, &c. _To rede_, lit. for a counsel, i.e. advisable, 118, 693; spelt _to rathe_, 2542.

Renne, _v._ S. to run, 1161, 1904. _Ran on blode_, _pa. t._ 432. So in Sir Tr. p. 176, _His heued ran on blod_; and in MS. Harl. 2253, f. 128,

Rim, Rym, _n._ S. Fr. rhyme, poem, 21, 2995, 2998. So Chauc. _Rime of Sire Thopas._ [The modern false spelling _rhyme_ is due to confusion of Eng. _rime_ with the Gk. _rhythm_.]

Ringen, _v._ S. to ring, 242, 1106. _Ringes_, _pr. t. sing._ ring, 390. _Rungen_, _part. pa._ rung, 1132.

Ringes, _n. pl._ S. rings of mail, 2740. _See_ Brini.

Rippe, _n._ fish-basket, 893. Hence a _Rippar_, B. Lat. _riparius_, is a person who brings fish from the coast to sell in the interior. V. Spelm. in v. Nares prefers the etymology of _ripa_, but without reason. _Rip_ is still provincial for an osier basket. _See_ Jam. and Moore. So also in a curious Latin and English Vocabulary, written out by Sire John Mendames, Parson of Bromenstrope [Broomsthorp, Co. Norf.] in the middle of the 15th cent., and now preserved in the valuable MSS. library of T. W. Coke, Esq. _Cophinus_ is explained _A beryng lepe_, or _ryppe_, terms still retained in the county.
