VOCABULARY

I, 41, Where the dead red leaves of the years lie rotten,
The cold old crimes and the deeds thrown by,
The misconceived and the misbegotten,
I would find a sin to do ere I die . . .

195, . . . Laugh or groan,

these prefix-formations originate from substantive stems.
Archaic verbal stems also occur, however, and it is no
easy task to decide if the one or the other source is to
be supposed. If we take instances like:

III, 355, A man by men bemonstered . . .

IV, 258, As one earth disfleshed and disallied
