'Tis Naught But Love 'Tis naught but love that stirs my soul swirling it round and round in golden hues of thee. 'Tis passionate fever that inflames mine heart that stokes the flames which ne'er be quenched when I stand before the temptress thee art. 'Tis Holy Grails and Knights Templar 'tis save the king, protect the queen, I'll spill my blood for thee my love. 'Tis show me one small favor please, just your banner to carry with me, and if thine heart be mine to possess I'll swear my allegiance; my life to thee. W. James Beard, Jr. ======================== NOTE: I looking for a glossary, dictionary, website, etc. for/of old english/shakespearean words...you know, thee, thine, ne'er, etc....all those ones I want to use but don't know exist...tks.

...and a couple of thines, now and again.  Such a lovely missive, James. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

thanks much, my friends, and since I wish to write a little more this way, I will endeavor to get better, and try to use the language a little more correctly as I learn how (if). It's actually kinda fun to write. I will visit the Man's sonnets, Mike, (don't know a sonnet from a bonnet but will look at them...)and the link you gave JM. Appreciate both. jwesley |
