Title Background

Reason’s Horse.

Reason’s Horse.

Suggests the capitalization of wil in C.4.21, 22, 23 as the name of Reason’s horse, which would correct the evident absurdity of the corresponding passage in B.4.20-23, in which a docile horse, Soffre-tyl-y-semy-tyme, is nevertheless prevented by witful gerĂ¾es from making wehee (i.e., expressing unrestrained sexuality). This need not mean that a second and superfluous horse is introduced in the C revision, for “Soffre-tyl-y-se-my-tyme” may be the name of the saddle placed on the unruly horse, Will.
