Le Petomane Posted Sunday at 19:40 Share Posted Sunday at 19:40 The plot of two Shakespeare plays in limericks: Young Hamlet discovered his mater / And uncle had murdered his pater / Revenge him or not? / That's the gist of the plot / And he did, nine soliloquys later. Black brasshat, suspected magician / Gets spliced to Venetian patrician / But falls in a trap a / Malign understrapper / Had covertly wrought for their fission 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menthe Posted Tuesday at 19:13 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:13 Only because of your three, I'd only heard of Hildegard of Bingen. Plus maybe I haven't lived as long as you have and thus don't remember meeting those people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted Tuesday at 19:55 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 19:55 Mille regretz de vous abandonner Et d'eslonger vostre fache amoureuse, Jay si grand dueil et paine douloureuse, Quon me verra brief mes jours definer. In Modern French: Mille regrets de vous abandonner et de m'éloigner de votre visage amoureux. J’ai si grand deuil et peine douloureuse qu’on verra vite mes jours prendre fin. English Translation: A thousand regrets at deserting you and leaving behind your loving face, I feel so much sadness and such painful distress, that it seems to me my days will soon dwindle away.
