Holtes hore, I, 177, Holtys hore, II, 256, hoary holts, To chafy yn holtes hore, to chafe in grey woods. In Lyes Saxon dictionary "polt, holte," is explain'd "An holt. Lucus, fylva, nemus: a grove, forest, or wood. Thus, too, in Chaucers Prologue, V.6:

"Whan Zephirus eke with his sote brethe

Enfpired hath in every holt and hethe.” Again, in Troilus and Creseide, B. 3, V. 352 :

"But right so as these holtes, and these hayis,

That han in wintir dedde yben and drie,

Devestin hem in grene, whan that Maie is." Bishop Douglas feems to ufe holtes as hils: fo, in P. 365, L. 7:

"Than throw the woddis, and thir holtyes hie." Again, P. 373, V. 16 :

"Thay hard hillis hirftis for till ere,

And on thir wild holtis hars also

In faynt pastome dois thare beiftis goe”

Ruddiman, however, though he explains his authours words "hills, higher ground, from the F. hault, haut, Lat. altus, high, a high place, hight;" ads "Or rather holt may fignify a wood or forest, as in Lincolnshire: ab AS. holt, fylva, Belg. hout. Teut. holtz, lignum, Ifl. holt, falebra."

In Robyne and Makyne, Robert Henryfon fays, "Makyne went hame blyth enough

Outowre the holtis hair."

66

Turberville, likewise, in his “ Songs and fonnets,” 1567, 12mo, fo. 56, feems to confider them in the fame light: "Yee that frequent the hilles,

And highest holtes of all."

In a very ancient Scotifh fong, however, citeëd in the royal ballad of Peblis to the play, it seems to be used for wood or forest:

"Thair fure ane man to the holt :"

as, in fact, it is, in another inftance, by bishop Douglas, P. 201, C. 15:

"Woddis, foreftis with naket bewis blout,
Stude ftripit of thare wede in every hout.”

Honder, a hundred.
