ok, ok! I'm getting past this phase
So much effort
for a worthless man
and a broken heart
You are blind
Amid fake tears
and hideous chatter
familiar shores are betrayed
Go! be deceived
Piteous, foolish girl
who lets garbage love
thieve her family security
or
So muchel peyne
for a drasty swayn
and a brosten herte
Ye be blent
Midst feyne teeres
and loothly jangle
kynly strondes be wreyed
Gooth! be blent
Scathe veyn mayden
who suffren mullok luv
pykpurs hir kyn warente

Thank you Prince. I feel that I inflict this curiosity upon you all. I will worry less about my audience in this respect from now on.
As I've said before I love your Middle English, though I don't think this is one of your better pieces. I think there's something lost in the translation of this one; it lacks the wittiness of the ME. I do wish I could hear these read aloud. Maybe you should start putting up audio files of yourself reading them!
I like it in both languages. Delta, tell me again, did you take a class in this? Because it is another language at this point, and I'm trying to figure out how you do it.
Very cool!
I am not taught so I know I am not following the ME rules (whatever they may be!) Call it Midern English!Quote:
