I was reading an OED entry and wondered what a couple of words were in a Middle English quotation. Don't happen to have a Middle English dictionary around.
Is there someplace on-line to look up Middle English, at least a basic lexicon or something?

Here are some good ones. There are several out there mostly based on Chaucer's writing and targeted as guides to reading Chaucer. Try a web search with the terms Middle English Chaucer Glossary.
Also aspirations.english.cam.ac.uk/converse/chaucer/glossary.doc is a handy pdf list.
