 Re: Weep not for him that dieth
In older forms of English, the verbs had different endings. The third person used -th, now replaced by -s. However, this is not used consistently here (sleeps, not sleepeth), though at the end of the poem, she does use it:
Blest, blest is he that sleepeth
She also uses 'ye' for you. It's older English, though I think she's using it for effect. |
