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?

Literature-Dictionary.org
Babylon ME dictionary
Librarius ME Glossary
University of Michigan ME Database
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.
