Poem -
Hecate
Goddess of fire, eternal flame
Deity erudite, solicit thy name
Keeper of emblazoned heat
Burn everlasting rectify deceit
May bids nary befall deaf ear
Pillars of salt art mine tear
Grant me but one request
A duty I do at behest
Goddess of fire fortune bleak
For thy favor I seek
Shunned by mortal hand
For atrocity, one must stand
Fire and brimstone beset
Mine honorability in debt
Absconded, rightfully endowed
Land owned heritage proud
Saxons invade pillage and plunder
Praytell, avenging thunder
Burn these lands to ash and dust
Ravage foes for vile mistrust
Make barren vibrant land
Spoils of war nary grand
I solemnly bid thee
Set retribution free

olde English is such a hard language. I had to learn it in one of my English classes in high school. my teacher was really into that forgotten language. it helps when reading some of the older sonnets
