And now he is! :mrgreen: Thank you Ian! All three of your recordings are PL OK and in the Magic Window!

Hey Jackie! I hope I'm spelling your name correctly! Let me know if you'd like to be credited in the catalog as Jackie Graves or something else. Thank you for your contribution! Everything is great with the recording! I only had to edit the filename because we use lower case letters. Lovely reading! :thumbs:

Great! So this is your Reader Page https://librivox.org/reader/13570
It lists all the projects you've read for, so it might look a bit empty now, but this will soon change since you enjoy recording! :D
You can also keep track of your open projects/sections under the link for "Reader section details"
Have fun here! :clap:

Hi Colleen! Welcome back! I hope you had a nice break!


It's easier to establish the Public domain status for works if the text source contains publication information. poetryfoundation.org does not, so I look around for other sources of the text that do. We need that because new copyrighted editions may have changes from the original text, or typos and OCR mistakes may appear (and that's why scanned sources are even better)

For these poems, I have found scanned books in archive.org

"Love Me Little, Love Me Long" by Anonymous https://archive.org/details/lifelightssonge01lifegoog/page/n134
the differences here are :
"as true a touch" in the text vs. "as true as touch" in the recording/poetryfoundation.org
"I to thee" in the text vs. "I too thee" in the recording/poetryfoundation.org
Well, it's not much of a difference, so up to you if you want to do any editing


"The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" by Christopher Marlowe https://archive.org/details/goldentreasurrev00palguoft/page/4
Here I found differences in the 3rd and 4th lines, first words in 2nd and 3rd paragraph, and an extra paragraph, second to last. I would prefer if we followed the text in the scanned book, or, of course, if you could find a dated or scanned text source with your version.



"The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" by Walter Raleigh https://archive.org/details/englandsheliconc00bulliala/page/230
Here there were no differences, marking it PL OK in the Magic Window :thumbs:

Okay, I re-recorded both using the approved source. Uploaded under same file names, the time for "Love me Little" is the same, but "Passionate Shepherd" is now 1:27.

Thanks!

Hi Kevin! Thank you for this recording! Did you mean to add those lines in the beginning, starting "Who in the realm to-day lays down dear life for the sake of a land more dear"? They are missing from the recording, though the similar ending lines are included. Nevertheless, great reading! :D

If you re-upload, please use the file-name spc195_deadking_ks_128kb (without the article 'the')
My apologies for missing this message.

I think I like what I've done here, though I will do as you think best. I don't see a need necessarily for repeating that addition at both beginning and end. In fact, I considered not recording it at all. Do you think it would be better without? I could place it at the beginning instead of the end.

The thing is, the beginning lines are a bit different from the ending lines, so there might be some significance there. I would suggest including them, I feel it would be incomplete otherwise. :)

Will do this now. I didn't realize there was a difference.

Here we are. I hope this fixes matters.

I very, very much appreciate your caring so much about this. I'm a bit ashamed to have missed that this 'frontispiece' has a different partner. I missed it entirely.

Thank you!
