Strange as it may seem now, I took 2 Old English / Middle English Lit courses 35 years ago as an undergrad. The professor was Donald Sands, whose book Middle English Verse Romances (Exeter Medieval English Texts and Studies), is a classic anthology. I pulled a few dusty books off the guest room shelves and looked through some of the Old English poems we studied.
žaes ofereode - žisses swa maeg is from an anonymous Old English poem "Deor" and means "that passed away: so may this." You can hear it read in Old English at http://www.heorot.dk/deor.html Cheers, Steven Ovitsky Paul Mansur wrote: > "žaes ofereode - žisses swa maeg" Ok -- What is this? Welch something?
