And euery wight gan laughen at this stryf
Thus swyued / was the Carpenters wyf
For al his kepyng and his Ialousye
And Absolon / hath kist hir nether Iye
And Nicholas / is scalded in the toute
This tale is doon / and god saue al the route¶ Here is ended / the Millerys tale


¶ The prologe / of the Reues tale
Whan folk hadde laughen / at this nyce cas
Of Absolon / and hende Nicholas
Diủerse folk / diuersely they seyde
But for the moore part they lowe and pleyde
Ne at his tale I seigh no man hym greue
But it were oonly / Osewold the Reue
By cause he was / of Carpenters craft
A litel Ire / is in his herte ylaft
He gan to grucche / and blamed it a lite
So the ik quod he / ful wel koude I thee quyte
With bleryng of a proud Millerys Iye
If þat me liste / speke of rybaudye
But ik am oold / me list no pleye for age
Gras tyme is doon / my fodder is now forage
This white top̄pe / writeth myne olde yerys
Myn herte / is also mowled / as myne herys
But if ik fare / as dooth an Openers
That ilke fruyt is euer lenger the wers
Til it be roten / in Mollok / or in stree
We olde men / I drede so fare we
Til we be roten / kan we noght be rype
We hoppe alwey / whil þat the world wol pipe
For in oure wil / ther stiketh ever a nayl
To haue an hoor heer / and a grene tayl
As hath a leek / for thogh oure myght be goon
Oure wil desireth folie / euere in oon
For whan we may noght doon / than wol we speke
Yet in oure asshen olde / is fyr yreke

And another paragraph (Peter Robinson, Nov 16, 2023, 06:00)
his: The Hg Ch reading his is supported by Bo2 Ad1 En3, while El's this appears in Ha5 Ha4, throughout a and in most of b cd. The strength of that support and the fact that there is no logical antecedent for his makes archetypal this more likely. (Peter Robinson, May 20, 2022, 20:19)
ik .. thee: No witness outside Mc Ra1 uses a pronoun other than ik, but a good many were obviously uncertain about the whole phrase. Every o witness has a different spelling: the ik in Hg, theek in El, thee ik in Ch (before Hand 2's obscure "correction"), theyk in Ha5 Ha4 cd, and (less so) a have similar spellings, making the basic shape of the reading quite clear.
At the end of the line, thee appears in Hg, all of a, Ha4, most of b and several early witnesses (which?) in cd. In contrast, El Ch Bo2 Ha5 and the majority of cd have the more formal yow.
[There is an apparent argument for yow from its presence in four o witnesses versus one supporting thee. But of five o readings in L2, Bo2 contains only 1, Ha5 2: I don't fully trust that analysis.
On the other hand there is the possible aural echo of /θek/ at the beginning of the line with /θe kwɪt/ at its end and the apparently more appropriate use of the familiar form thee to indicate the Reeve's scorn for the Miller.] (Peter Robinson, May 20, 2022, 20:25)
no: The vast majority of witnesses reads not pleye. But the El Hg Sl2 reading, by no means impossible syntactically, can readily be defended. El Hg consistently spell the adverb nat or noght (cf. L3 35). The idea that Scribe B would accidentally have spelled either of those forms as no in two separate copies requires something of a stretch to imagine. Thus no pley can be considered an o reading, a lectio difficilior. (Barbara Bordalejo, Jun 6, 2022, 23:03)
also mowled: El uniquely has is mowled also as, a simple transposition error.
herys: At the end of the line, Ch and b offer a typically Chaucerian rhyme of the plural with the copula in heer is, but such an isolated variant (also dependent on the vagaries of word separation) is unlikely to be archetypal. (Peter Robinson, May 20, 2022, 20:30)
I: Only Hg reads ik, although Py may be inferred to have had something similar that generated its iche (not a form usual in that witness). As in line 37, it is possible to imagine that the dialect form has been smoothed to the London standard in most witnesses, but that is not a stemmatic argument. (Peter Robinson, May 20, 2022, 20:54)
lenger: El's leng is unsupported elsewhere, although La To1 have longe. The reading in the rest of o a b cd e is archetypal. (Peter Robinson, May 20, 2022, 20:55)
hoppe alwey: Metrical issues are highlighted by the variant pairs hoppe alwey / hoppen ay found in Hg and El, respectively (the variants whil / whil that, considered below add another metrical variable). To begin with what seems most certain, El's ay is poorly supported: alwey in Hg, the rest of o, all of a b and almost all of cd is clearly archetypal.
El finds broader support for hoppen in Ch Ha4 and across b cd; monosyllabic hoppe in Hg Ha5 Bo2, all of a and Py . . . [Again the status of Bo2 Ha5 matters directly to the stemmatic analysis.]
