COMPLETE: [Weekly Poetry] Winter by William Shakespeare - dl

: Does anyone know what "While greasy Joan doth keel the pot" means ? A phrase taken from Shakespeare's poem Winter, from Love's Labour's Lost. Have tried to find info on Shakespeare's phrases sites but not listed.

Keel has many meanings one of which is a brewer's cooling vat.
The German is kiihlen, Old English celan.
Joan is pouring in cold water to cool off the pot to avoid a boil over.

Just in case anyone was wondring ....

Poor Me! I cannot help but fuss and fiddle with my readings. 2nd version uploaded which is the original with a bit of post-production tweaking. Your choice as to which to use!

Thanks, Chris, I noise-cleaned you recording a little.

There is 1 minor thing, you said While greasy Joan doth neel the pot. instead of While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. It's up to you whether you want to change it or not

Oh thanks for your assistance! I'll keep it the way it is.
