Then saith the man unto me, Beautiful one, ye knoweth not of which ye speak. I forgive thee for such. I just as soon take thee unto my wife, for thine eyes is ardent, likened to no other. As for her Lorde Marius, she hath gone away a good measure. To whence she is, no one knoweth; instead, be unto me and thou wilt surely live.
Again, the people didst laugh.
Then said I to him, O ye of indifference; Just as ye canst not add one day unto me, neither canst ye taketh one day also. By thine own iniquity shalt thee perish; for thy mind giveth no thought to thine own words.
He saith to me, I didst hear of thy travels and ye wouldest have the people believe; but I shall say to thee little one of great beauty: Thou canst not be the Sibelle of Mylbroke. Ye art but a child. To all prophets of wars past hath they been men of great age and stature and didst fight great battles. They taketh upon them honor and strength. Looketh thee. Why wouldest ye bear the sword with no armor? Thou wilt surely fall quickly.

I find it hard to read (because I'm terrible at old english) but I doubt many others will find it hard to read.

Hope that helps!
Ail.

Thank you so much...

Dear Aileenhu,
Very short yet very powerful. You were honest and said you find it hard to read. About 40 percent of my story is written this way. I'm trying to get a feel for how many people can understand it. You may have been the only one to respond, but your response was 100% what I needed. Thank you...CS

Dear Fran,
Thank you so much for your kind words. It may have taken a day for me to sit down and view your post, but I want to say this: Right now, my heart is warmer, the setting sun is more beautiful and the grass is greener. Thank you for making this day a special one...CS

I don't find it hard to read. Sometimes I wish people still spoke in old English, and even I don't like to read it. Which is a problem. So not that it is hard to read, but will people put the effort in?

Peace and Love,
D

I can see that it is beautifully written and I admire the craft, however, I could only manage to read some poetry in such a style. Sorry, just too much effort to go beyond that.

Pretty spiffy there, CJ. I dig the style of your idea too. Keep at it, my friend, you seem to be a rare inspiration.
