Harrow and welaway!

After so wicked deed, why liv'st thou lenger day?

"Faerie Queene," II, viii. 46.

(St. LVII.) The _edeln knehte_ here, and the _vil manic riche kneht_ of St. x.x.xIV, in both pa.s.sages a.s.sociated with knights, were no doubt of a far superior station to that of the mere _knehte_, 9,000 of whom followed Gunther into Hungary. These last we may call yeomen, the other, squires. The _edeln burgaere_ (St. x.x.xV, Seventeenth Adventure), seem to have been not the mere townsfolk, but the chiefs of the corporation the lord mayor, aldermen, and common council of Worms.
