This is Middle English, which is _very_ close indeed to what we speak.
Old English is a much tougher nut to crack.
Just read 'em aloud. The meanings come through pretty well, and if I were
to translate them, then:
o The translations get pretty rude;
o Some of the lines are _bad_; and
o You'll learn more by doing it yourself.
If, after reading them out loud, you still need some help -- with the
translations, damn it! -- I'll see what I can do.
