Fytte

A curious point about the first "fytte" is that it opens (ll. 1-18) in the first person; at line 41 Thomas is mentioned, and the poem continues in the third person to the end, with a single and sudden change to the first in line 208. ❋ Compiled By Frank Sidgwick (N/A)

It is certain that Byron had begun the fourth canto, and written some thirty or more stanzas, before Hobhouse rejoined him at his villa of La Mira on the banks of the Brenta, in July, 1817; and it would seem that, although he had begun by saying "that he was too short a time in Rome for it," he speedily overcame his misgivings, and accomplished, as he believed, the last "fytte" of his pilgrimage. ❋ George Gordon Byron Byron (1806)

"Now, if I choose, will begin the first fytte of John Bulmer's adventures," he meditated, leisurely. ❋ James Branch Cabell (1918)

Sometimes, for long passages together, as in the interesting fytte, "How Reynard hid himself among the Skins," [141] the author seems to forget the general purpose altogether, and to devote himself to something quite different -- in this case the description of the daily life and pursuits of a thirteenth-century sportsman of easy means. ❋ George Saintsbury (1889)

In matters of the sacred muse, lengthily as others have I trespassed heretofore; the most protracted _fytte_, however, made a respectable inroad on a new metrical version of the '_Psalms_,' attempting at any rate closer accuracy from the Hebrew than Brady's, and juster rhymes than Sternhold's: but this has since been better done by another bard. ❋ Martin Farquhar Tupper (1849)
