YEDING
YEDE
Yede, obs. imp.
Definition: Went. See Yode. All as he bade fulfilled was indeed This ilke servant anon right out yede. Chaucer.
Note: Spenser and some later writers mistook this for a present of the defective imperfect yode. It is, however, only a variant of yode. See Yode, and cf. Yead. [He] on foot was forced for to yeed. Spenser
