    Default >> Archaic English anyone??

    >>> Somebody can translate this song? I can understand the normal/basic english but this have some unknown words for me. Help please..

    anyway here is the song:

    Thou dawdl'd not bringing me fro Æther to Nether,
    Still, duringly cling I on to this heather -
    Dew-scentéd blossom; thou wast pristine,
    The sweven of thee ne'er will I cede, my colleen.
    Drat this creature of memories ill,
    Foolhardy and fey I may be, yet him I shall quell.

    'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
    Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
    Daunt - sinsyne thence,
    Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

    Perforce and grinningly shall I maim in the vie -
    Alas dastard! - hanging by the noose die.

    'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
    Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
    Daunt - sinsyne thence,
    Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

    'Come not wont to this uncouth Devil!,
    Lest to a Devil thou wilt translate...my Angel.

    'Vaunt! - Devil tyne -
    Wadst thou wane fore'ermae;
    Daunt - sinsyne thence,
    Ta'en as a dint, Angélique?

    >>> What do you mean with full original text?, Those are just a song`s lyrics, there is nothing more than that.

    oh... so the lyrics are Modern English mixed with Old English? That complicates things ^^ I thought you had partially translated the text and left the old english sentences in there O_O'' I'll get right on it then ^_^ and it's no problem at all ;p I'll have it tonight for you.
