(definition) by Webster 1913 Wed Dec 22 1999 at 4:29:30

Yede (?), obs. imp.

Went. See Yode.

All as he bade fulfilled was indeed This ilke servant anon right out yede. Chaucer.

⇒ 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
