Oh no! At least it was a short work and not an entire chapter, that would have been even sadder. I can see why you may have done that (the last one you read needed to be completely redone), but that was only because of the background noise. This one was great except for that one little note. So now you know for the future! I'll take a listen tonight.

That is really strange. I checked in two places and they both said it was around 3.5. Maybe something happened in exporting or uploading? Technology is weird. Good news: I had time to check it really quickly and it is almost exactly at 5 seconds, so something worked! Thanks for fixing!

I uploaded a new take. I think that this one is better overall as well.

These are both ok now! Thanks! One quick note for the ending disclaimer, in these you said 'read for Librivox.org by....', the perfect wording would be "Recording by [your name]". No need to change this, this is very minor and you have conveyed all important information, just something to be aware of

. I love listening to you read!

Thank you for the positive comments !
I have a question about The Three Knights. It says in the introduction that I should repeat the refrain every other line when reciting, but for our purposes, should I just read what's printed? I think that the refrain would add a certain humor? Or rhythm to it, but I am not exactly sure when to repeat the refrain. The refrain is With the high and the lily oh! I think that it gets repeated every other line. In the introduction, it says the refrain is in the second and fourth lines, which means it would be With the high and the lily oh! As the rose was so sweetly blown. Anyway, I am a little confused as to what constitutes the refrain, when I should recite the refrain, and if, indeed, I should recite it.

I looked into it, I was a bit confused so I googled other sources to see how they do it. While we can not read off of those due to public domain issues, it can give us a sense as to how it is supposed to be read. So according to a source I found (here if you want to look), I believe you are correct in thinking those two lines are the refrain. So the first four lines you would just read, then you would start splicing in the refrain. That sounds confusing, so I'll just give the beginning of the poem as I think it should be read:

There did three Knights come from the west,
With the high and the lily oh!
And these three Knights courted one ladye,
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

The first Knight came was all in white,
With the high and the lily oh!
And asked of her if she’d be his delight.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

The next Knight came was all in green,
With the high and the lily oh!
And asked of her if she’d be his queen.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

Does this make sense?

Nice reading! I think the refrain repetition added a lot, I'm glad you did it! Only one note:

0:10 - 'ballads' can be omitted, I am choosing not to include the section titles

Overall that was amazing! I'm in awe of how you can keep up your energy throughout the entire recording!
