Thanks! All PL OK. And thanks for not throwing anything at me for being picky.

I appreciate your stickler-hood, as I took these on as a challenge (which they Definitely were).

Any idea why all those "th's" were so frequent during the Elizabethan age? Apparently some believe it came from an effort to sound "French" and thus part of the in-crowd. My personal (unsubstantiated) theory is that Some Important Person (QEI herself?) had loose dentures -- which would create a not-dissimilar sound. Serious question.

I have no idea!

Verbs ending "eth" are the 2nd person singular of traditional English Grammar (I go, thou goeth, he goes) We don't use the 2nd person singular these days but the Elizabethans did.

Hello Tricia,

Here we go again:

There were a few words there I didn't recognise.
When I've got the inevitable PL NOTES out of the way, please give me the next 5 opens.

Best,
Adrian

Psalm 6:

1:45 - "Get henee, you evil" - I think this is supposed to be "get hence" (one of those c's that look like an e)

2:00 - "The Lord my suite did hear" - this is "suit" like in a lawsuit. Your choice if you want to change the pronunciation.

"and from this ougly fall" - that's certainly a new one! (No PL note, just a comment)

Psalm 7:

3:07 - "and his own ill his own head shall appall" - I hear "his own will"

(ALMOST got through without a PL note!)

Psalm 19:

2:41 - "who is the man, that ever can | his faults know" - I hear "ever een" (e for a c)

3:16 - "so let words sprong from my weak tongue" - I hear "spring" (wouldn't have mentioned it except it breaks the rhyme)

Psalm 22:

3;07 - "my fainting feet they pearced" - I hear "peered" (e for a c)
3:08 (since you're there anyway) - "they looke" - I hear "they looked"

Psalm 24:
PL OK!

Putting you in for the next 5...

Definitely some interesting words in that one - something like "iustice" for "justice", and a Vnicorn!

Hi, Alan, and thank you for the reply. It is such a curious sound, the ending "eth," and especially challenging to pronounce when preceding another "th" such as "thou doth therefore..." I imagine it kept out the riffraff, as Basil Fawlty would say.

best,
Owlivia/Deborah

Thanks, Tricia, I was admittedly somewhat supprised to find a Vnicorn there!
