Take, 161, deliver. The, 187, thrive. Tolle, 62, entice (H.H. Gibbs). Tre, 105, wood, timber. Trewloves, 669, either figures like true-lovers' knots, or the imitations of the berb or flower _Truelove_, which is given by Coles as _Herb Paris_ (a quatrefoil whose leaves bear a sort of likeness to a true-lovers' knot), and in Halliwell as _one-berry:_ but I cannot find that Edward IV. had any such plants on his arms or badge. Knots were often worn as badges, see Edmonston's Heraldry, Appendix, Knots. On the other hand, Willement (Regal Heraldry) notices that the angels attending Richard II. in the picture at Wilton, had collars worked with white roses and broom-buds; and trueloves, if a plant be meant by it, may have been Edward's substitute for the broom (_planta genisla_). The Trewloves bear, one, Ar. on a chev. sa., three cinquefoils, or; the other, Ar. on a chev. sa., a quatrefoil of the field. Vade,[1] 125, 419, fade; Du. _vadden_ (Hexham). Wone, 275, store, quantity. Wonne, 90, 628, dwelling. Woode, 153, wild, mad. |
