Wondrous messages for me from the internette!

My gentil rederes alle, what merveilous werkes we see yn thys tyme. BSL! Several sithes within oon daies space ich am astonyed with the wonderful werkynges of the Internette. Trewely, yt beth a thyng of grete wisdam and power.

For nowe that ich haue hadde thys blog for nigh an yeere, ich do receive manye messages of emaile, of gret varietee in maner of speche and in importaunce. Ywis, yt semeth me that ich stonde within the dwellinge of the Goddesse of Renoun or of Fame, the ladye who knoweth all tales and tellynges yn this world ymaad, and to her hous all rumoures and stories do come yn the maner of pigeones flockynge to a man throwinge crumbes of breede – for so manye litel tales do flit toward myn inbox ech daye, nay ech houre: sum of high sentence and muche lernynge, otheres of churlishe nature, sum of tidynges of myn home of Londoun and sum of londes ferne and straunge. Ther beth thynges of loue, and joye, and eek thynges of muchel wo and lamentacioun. Ich speke nat of the emailes from my freendes, such as Sir Simon Burley, Sir John Clanvowe, Ralph Strode, Tommy Vsk et alii, ich speke of thes messages from othirs of whom ich haue no acqueintaunce – ich wene thei do sende them me by cause of myn posicioun at the custoum house? Surely it must be so, for my fame as a poete ys but litel, and thes messages come from alle ovir the globe of the erthe.

Forto shewen yow the wondirs that awaiten me ech daye, ich haue vsid the tooles of “cutte” and “paste” to showe yow the wondirs of myn inboxe. Heere are a fewe ensaumples:

RE: MAIL ORDER BRIDE FROM THE REAUME OF PRESTER JOHN

Good daye! Ich ben ycleped Abalia. XXVII yeeres haue ich dwelt yn thys worlde, far awey yn the lande of Prester John, yn Inde, wher the riveres of paradise do flowe ynto a see of gravel. Althogh thys be a fayre contree ful of precious stones and tables ymade of solid emeralde, wher even the tiniest tchotchke ys ycrafted of diamonde (seriouslie, ich haue an adamantine shoe-horne), yet ther are fewe worthy men that dwelle herein. In deed, a lord hight Gatholonabes doth convince alle the yonge men for to joyne his cult of Assasines and they spende ther tyme lernynge to kille silentlye and hide in shadowes. And thus no gentil man ys lefte for a yonge damosel swich as myn selfe, save for the wilde menne of the deserte who haue hornes of beestes and speke no human tongue, and thatte ys juste totallie nastie and gross. Perhaps yt semeth nyce to yow, but ich devoutely wisshe to fynde the blessinges of love matrimoniale! Ich do looke for a man riche nat wyth worldlie goodes, but riche yn corage and vertu, and thus ich haue emailed yow. If liketh yow my message, and ye haue nat hornes and be nat an assasin, may it plese yow to sende an replye to me at abalia@susa.co.pj.

RE: THYN SUCCOUR YS NEEDED

Deere Sir,

Followynge the siege of the castel of Gaban and Oure subsequent capture at the hands of the Emir of Aleppo, we haue ben ythrowne into a sttate of complete confusioun, frustracioun, and hopelessnesse by Oure poore estaat. Oure royale person hath been subjectede to physicale and psychologicale torture by hethene captors in the toune of Cairo wher We nowe are helde prisonere. We do beleve that no cristen soule hath the vertu or charitee to aide Vs, for yt semeth al1le the knightes and monarches of Europe are deef to Oure petiticiouns.

Thou must haue herde, good sir, yn the newspaperes and the internette, of the perilouse state of Oure formere kingdom of Armenie, the whichhe hath been ytaak from Oure rightful soverentee by the handes of the Mameluk Turkes.

And yet ther is oon othir matir – ther are manye huge sums of coine and silver plate that We hadde ystored abroade at the tyme of Oure capture. Yn facte, the totale sum of riches still stored yn Oure name doth exceed MMMMMMMMM poundes.

We haue founde thy contacte informacioun thurgh Oure owen personale research, and aas a drowninge man doth reche for ony branche, We haue sette pon the counsel of rechynge thee thurgh email. We pplace grete cohnfidence in thee, hence thys Royale email to thee.

Due to the cruel shackles in which We are ybounde, lik to an newe Prometheus wyth the vulture of despayre gnawinge Oure liver ech daye whanne We thynke of Oure formere glorie and Oure fallen reaume, We kan nat go diretlie to an ATM.

We wolde be verye grateful if thou couldst receyve the various summes of moneye due to Oure royal persone and taak hem into thy safe keepynge. Ower agentes abroade will be in contacte with thee as soon as securite ys set uppe.

Oones We do manage to escape, We hope to settle somewhere plesaunte, perhaps Englande for a while, and We shal receyve ayein the moneye whiche thou hast deposited, whilst yivinge unto thee a sum of thirty out of everie hundred poundes for thyn labour and thy loyaltee.

We will require thy telephone and fax numbres and thy banke accounte informacioun so that Oure chamberlain may transfer the moneyes unto thee. We wolde gretely appreciate yf thou wouldst accepte Oure proposal yn goode faith. Plese exepedite action by sendinge thyn replie to Oure chamberlaines email addresse infra.

  12. Maistre Chavcer, be not thou amazed that we, thi readeres, du speke to thee of "spamme". For, iuste as ye makeres of dubious meate productes redest not to thee whatte matter of meate they wouldesdow eaten of, so thou rekest not whatte manner of men or of wymen they be who endictest to thee such messauges.

    For certes,(tho I speke not of personal knowledgge) thou hast no use for thysse AUGMENTULA, nor woldesdow serve eny kingge other than ower gode King Richard, were the fortune to be attainded never so grate. And certes, thou nedest not eny of these other thingges.

    So plain it is, these persouns sendest thee messages at, as it were, a venture, to see if thou, like eny fule, can be parted from thi coin. They send the lyke messauges to myself, who, being femayle, have even lesse need of thys muckle nonsensse.

    Yf my power of comprehensioun extendeth ytselfe adequatlie unto yower messages, ye saye to me that thes messages ben litel more than japes and false cautels for to parte me from my moneye?

    O wo! O sorwe!

    Ich dide thynke that ich coude evrye skil and gile of the internette, but nowe ich am deceyved. Yt makth myn herte suffre sore and egre payne for to thynke of my cluelessnesse.

    O, ich dide imagyne thatte Adalia of Susa was a fayre mayde of a merveilous contree, and were yt nat for Philippa ich wolde haue responded to Adalia as myn verye trewe amor de lonh -- and ich dide thynke that thexilede Kynge of Armenee dide reallye sende an message vnto me askynge for succour, like to a thynge rede yn a romauns. And as for thothers; ywis, ich am contente wyht myn owene plogh and ich care litel for the stewes, but stille yt was a thynge of muche solaas and humoure for to receyve those messages, the whiche ich dide thynke were ysent by good-naturede peple.

    Foole that ich am, ich haue lette myn fancie run offe wyth my wittes. Grant merci to yow for correctynge me, thogh lyk vnto a foolish yonge louere ich wolde fayne be yet uncorrectede, so that ich mighte thynke of the lippes of fayre maydens and the baneres of orient kinges.

    Ye shalle nevir convince me of the falsitee of the charme of the romaynes -- ich dide sende yt vnto my coterie and WITHIN A DAYE ich was callid to serue yn Parlement, the whiche is a matir of gret honor and addeth to my renoun.

  27. This was an entry in a Poetry Smackdown at AceOfSpadesHQ: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/124418.php


    The Prologue

    Whan that Ayce's arid throate did parch

    The draught of lager he hath perced to the hearte,

    And bathed every veyne in swich licour

    Of which Fosters engendered in his core.

    Then his Plymouth Furye squeeked a sharp breeth

    And inspired Ayce to holt fast the brakes

    He mowed down croppes and longe roadsignes

    And hath rammed half his cows though on the ruine

    And smale fowelies who maken no more melodye.

    Then he slepen al the nyght with an open ye

    (so prickethed hem Ayce about his Plymouth Furye);

    Thanne longen folk to goon to polyce,

    For to seken to limit his bendyrs straunge;

    To take hem away from his surly blondes.

    And specially take him from every shires' ende

    Of New Yorke to Cleveland where he will wende.

    The hooly blisful martir had he disgusted,

    That hem hath holpen to seke whan totally busted.

    So he goeth the pub three sessions per day,

    Then an alley in south Cleveland he lay.

    Unredy to wenden on pilsner legs...

    But maybe to Yorke with ful stout kegs!

    At nyght he came to a youth hostelrye

    With nyne and twenty young blonde ladies.

    Of sondry folk, lovelie and talle,

    In felaweshipe with Pygmies were they alle.

    Men from Yorke they wolden't ryde,

    Their organ chambres were much too wyde.

    And wel they found out he cameth not from east,

    And bedded him shortly, whan the sonne was to reste.

    So Sadde they were with him now goon,

    He thrue them a twenty and drove toward the dawn.

  31. Chaucer, stay away from these type of e-mails! You remind me of my mother--infatuated with new technology, but ready to trust anyone on it. I once knew a maiden who paid one such an emailor three hundred dollars to go on a 'cruise' to Las Vegas. If you are unfamiliar with the geography, Las Vegas is land-locked. Try not to let this happen to you dear Geoffry. I'd hate to see you become a sucker, unless it be at my hand.
