Full tendirly beginnith she to wepe,

She rist her up, and dredefully she quaketh,
As doeth the braunch, that Zephyrus yshaketh;
And husht was all in Aragone that cite.
As colde as any froste now wexith she,
For pite by the herte strained her so,
And drede of deth doith her so muche wo,
That thryis doune she fill in soche a were

And on her handis faste lokith she;
Alas! quoth she, shall my handis blodie ?

WAR.

In the usual sense, is the same word as the Dutch wer, were, weer, weyr, arms, means of defence, and impliedly, of offence also; whence geweer, armour, weeren, to ward off, to defend, with numerous other words. War, in the Cimbrian dialect, was lettered oer, but pronounced war. From the most remote antiquity, the terms war, wer, have been used in the Dutch and its collateral dialects, in the sense of confusion, disorder, disturbance, discord; and is, I believe, to be met with in Melis Stoke's Chronicle. Of equal antiquity in use is also the verb warren, werren, to confound, to create dispute [disorder], to cause contention [confusion], to annoy, to offend; and the same verb with our old to warray, to warrie, to warre, now to worry. The French guerre, as well as the Italian and Spanish guera, are evidently a same word; and the Dutch oerlog [state of war] is the same word differently lettered with warlage; q. e. the state of war, status belli, lage, position, lay, as the past tense of ik
