Take the following as truth: Corroboration is not readily forthcoming from the OED, unless we accept a citation from Lydgate, dated c 1450: Pryd gothe beforen And schame comythe aftyr, and blawythe horne.
Then the following statement: "The OED only likes it when we have a citation from Lydgate." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
