I have some French (maybe older French) to say. While I'm OK with pronouncing modern French, it would help if a native French speaker could help out with these quotes. I've included the English just in case there are any typos in the French.

'En mer sempaignent, et drescerent lor voilles;
Li jugleor leanz les esbanoient.'

'They put to sea, and set their sails;
The jongleurs on board amused them.'

and

'A sun batel en va amunt,
Dreit a Lundres, desuz le punt;
Sa marchandise iloc descovre,
Ses dras de seie pleie e ovre.'

'On board his bark he goes
straight to London, beneath the bridge;
his merchandise he there shows,
his cloths of silk smooths and opens out.'

I am willing to help, I am French
is it still available ?

I've actually recorded it, but, if I could get a reading of the French from you, I could check if I've made any egregious mistakes with pronunciation, and re-record if necessary.

Here I made 2 recording one where the tirade is said normally and the other more slowly

Merci! My pronunciation isn't as fluent as yours, obviously, but I don't think it's too horrible.

so much the better then
