NOTES
Five coblas unissonans of eleven lines: a b b a a c c d d e e (atz, itz, en, es, an), lines of eight syllables. Frank 509:3.
5. The alternative version of CMf may be an attempt to regularise the unusual syntactical construction of ll. 5–6.
9–11. The same thought recurs in Elias Cairel 133, 11 (ed. Jaeschke, p. 164), ll. 1–3.
29. lo·i = lo li, cf. Appel, Prov. Chr., XIV.
43. We here follow CRα, as the version of E is short by one syllable and the future tense is excluded by the context.
49. A difficult line, since mals estars goes logically with mal apres of the previous line, thus producing an awkward construction (but cf. l. 5 and the anacoluthon in l. 50, and also V, 5–6). MT omit the line (perhaps for this reason), while f “corrects” it by anticipating l. 52, though it remains one syllable short.
53. lo rei dels Aragones. ?Alfonso II (1152–96); cf. II, and XXVII, 13, note.
