Sections 32 33 & 36 are Ready for PL!

The text for section 36 begins part way through the text for The 'eathen starting after the line The Shut Eye Sentry (Gutenberg has conflated two poems under one heading)

32, 33 and 36 are PL OK!

Hi Richa
Thanks for these recordings. They are both PL OK!.
WELL DONE. As you say they are not easy to read as they are written to reproduce the language of British Soldiers in the 19th Century, very different from English today. But I enjoyed your readings

Happy to hear that you enjoy it, thanks

Thanks Lynnet

I was concerned that these poems might not be popular with modern readers, but the project has finished in just over 2 months so all is well
