But I rather think it comes from vanter, fe vanter: vanteur, a boafter, a braggadocbio. So that the paffage in queftion alludes to the very man ; which is elegant: the a is added as ufual in the English tongue: and the meaning is, to whom proudly boasting himself, or fhewing himself in a boasting manner: his actions befpeaking the man. And what is much to our purpose in explaining Spenfer, his mafler Chaucer ufes Avaunt, to boaft, in feveral places; and Avaunting in the Reves Prol. 776. And Gower, Fol. xxi. The vice cleped Avauntice, viz. jactantia.

The word is formed to imitate the found. To hold or keep at bay, is the hunter's phrase of a stag when the hounds are baying or barking at him: to which Spenfer alludes, be her brought unto his bay, B. iv. C. 8. St. 48. So Arioft. Orl.
