Che = Shakespearean pronoun, I. It's in Chambers.

Latewake is a mistaken form of lykewake ('a vigil'), hence 'a slip'.

Thanks, drxx, I missed that bit! I often don't parse when solving, but feel I have to make an attempt if I'm helping anyone else!

Very happy with my pots thank you all. It seems the word is in the Oxford dictionary after all. I always forget to look there. But I enjoyed this today.
