or Romance

Hume, Patrick. Annotations on Milton's Paradise Lost London: Printed for Jacob Tonson ..., 1695. Print.

The German Nations, who overthew the Western Empire, did for a long time retain their ancient Language, which at last began to be intermixt with that of their Subjects, and Larded with Latin words, which they call'd the Roman Language, to distinguish it from their own: In this corruptly mixt Latin Language, many Military Love-Stories were writ by the Romans, whence they took the Name of Romances, in this kind of writing; but in their own Language, the French are very frequent.
