Excerpt from Early English Alliterative Poems, in the West-Midland Dialect of the Fourteenth Century: Copied and Edited From an Unique Manuscript in the Library of the British Museum, Cotton, Nero Ax, With an Introduction, Notes, and Glossarial Index A comparison of the Arthurian romance with the following poems throws no light whatever upon the authorship of the poems. The dialect of the two works is altogether different, although many of the terms employed are common to both, being well known over the whole of the North of England. The grammatical forms (the best test we can have) in the poems are quite distinct from those in the Morte Arthare, and of course go far to prove that they do not proceed from the pen of the same writer.
