Classic Poem

Diligam te Domine.

I'll in all aymeray obeyssance,
As vivray, O my God, my strength.
God is my rock, my hault rempar, and thickness,
This is my rençon is my strong deffenseur,
In him alone gist my fiance parfaicte,
This is my pavoys, my arms, my retraicte:
When I praised him, and asks firm faith,
Soubdain Recoux of foes me voy.
Risk of death ung day environnarent me
And large streams Malings estonnarent me.
I estoys well near the sepulcher came,
And yarn Death accused:
So hurry, I soubdain invocque, and pray
The Almighty Gd, hault my God, I cry:
My cry to heaven to him penetra,
If my voice in his ear entered.
Incontinent tremblarent the Campaigns:
The foundations of the haultes mountaines
Esbranles wholes, is greatly esmeurent:
For he was angry fervently.
In its naseaulx him went smoke,
Aspre yssoit fire lit his mouth,
If enflambe in his couraige estoit,
Qu'ardants coals all go jectoit.
Lowered Heaven down print cure,
Having soubz piedz obscure brouee:
Mounted on estoit ung mouvent Spirit,
Volloit staid on aeles wind
And concealed in black Bare,
To Tabernacle around him tense.
In the end went by its clarity,
This large mass of Naked escarte,
Gresles jectant, and coals vifz earth,
In heaven the LORD menoit great thunder,
The Altitonant his big voice-mist,
And hail, and fire on the earth transmist:
Threw his Darts, broke all their bands,
Doubled the esclair gave their greatest fears.
At thy rebuke, and strong wind poulse
By thee, Lord, in angry poinct,
Were canaulx DESNUES their unde,
Descouvertz and the foundations of the world.
His hand down icy enhault handed me
Healthy and out of the water, and made me except:
I resorted powerful, and haulsaires
(And more than I reinforced) opponents.
In my dangers, it preveut, and warned:
When it was time to aid God came to me,
I mist off, and if feit business
Keep me as it helps me.
Gold has rewarded me according to my Equity,
And my hands according to PURITE,
Because the Lord I avoys suivy the Voye,
Do my cueur revolt from him not Avoye:
Ains tousjours hours before the eye wholes its ditz,
Rejecter ung without one of his Editz.
Than towards him so full at any case
Monster myself, keeping me wrong.
Gold has rewarded me according to my Equity,
And my hands according to PURITE.
Certainly, Lord, my sçais such works,
In good tresbon, pure pure, you descoeuvres
You are whole, who will be around,
And defaulting, who will failly.
The humble live in your care you leave,
Sourcilz brave and belittle you,
Also my God, my Lantern allumas,
Esclaire in darkness and you gave me,
By toy donnay through the battle,
My God before I saultay the wall.
It is the Lord who is found all over,
His talk is like fire, esprouve,
Ung shield is strong resistance
For wholes ceulx there who trust in him.
But who is God except the supernal?
Or that is strong, if not the Lord?
Boldness, strength it surrounds me,
Fessor and Voye my footprints gives:
My piedz to ceulx of Chevreulz Esgaulx deed,
To mount difficult places, and haultz:
My hand by him weapons is learned,
If that arm ung steel bow I breeze.
Of your help the ecu gave me,
Me and your right hand supported in time of need,
Great ta 'goodness, where my hope mectoye,
Hath made me more encor 'I do estoye:
Prepare wine my way soubz my steps
That my heels were not rolling:
For foes poursuyvre been taught to, and attaindre,
And returned without all the estaindre:
Last only one bit, as well ay secoux,
Ains to my piedz tresbucharent shots:
Circuy me as belligerent force
Bending soubz me, me invade strives
You monstras doz of my foes,
I and my hayneux ay ruined mys:
Ilz shouted, have any spare hours,
Mesmes to God, and do ouyt oncques,
As the wind pouldre ay rendered
And as muck in the estendus instead.
Delivre me as the popular mischievous,
And has pleased you make me head of the nations,
Yea the people, Avg incongnu people
Soubz obey my reputation came to me:
Maintz strangers by servile contraincte
I have deed honor obeyssance feigned,
Maintz strangers redoubtants my effortz,
Espouventes, trembled in their Fortz.
Long live my God, my saulveur is gloyre,
Exalted be God my victoyre,
Who gave me power to revenge,
And soubz Avg people habituate deed:
Garentit me qu'ennemys not encumber me,
Esleve me hault on ceulx wholes that eslevent
Avg against, delivering me to plain
The man with the Heart of oultrage full.
But my God, Parmy people estranges
Beneiray you, singing your praises.
This God, I dy, which magnificquement
Saulva his King, and who unicquement
David his anointed, Traicte large clemency:
Traictant of Mesme forever his seed.
