The Knight and the Squire

The Knight and the Squire by Dunechaser.
A Knyght ther was, and that a worthy man,
That fro the tyme that he first bigan
To riden out, he loved chivalrie,
Trouthe and honour, fredom and curteisie.
Ful worthy was he in his lordes werre,
And therto hadde he riden, no man ferre,
As wel in cristendom as in hethenesse,
And evere honoured for his worthynesse.
At Alisaundre he was, whan it was wonne.
...
With hym ther was his sone, a yong SQUIER,
A lovyere and a lusty bacheler;
With lokkes crulle, as they were leyd in presse.
Of twenty yeer of age he was, I gesse.
Of his stature he was of evene lengthe,
And wonderly delyvere, and of greet strengthe.

How to write fake Middle English:

* Add an extra U or E to every word.
* Add an N to the end of various verbs.
* Convert J, G, and I to Y, but not consistently.
* Spell the same word four different ways, preferably in the same sentence.
* Be sure to use the words "ycleped" and "swyve."

It's pretty much 1334-speak for lit nerds. ;-)

(Wizzy, you get bonus points for rhyming in fake Middle English! Nice.)

Unless you're about an inch and a half tall and made of plastic, I'm afraid you're asking the wrong guy. Heh heh!

He's a young punk. (That's Ron Weasley's face from Harry Potter.)
