Poetic Justice
In days of olde
Lords spoke French to their king,
In church,in Latin would sing-
Poets,changing this mould,
Their verses,in English did bring.
Note.Poetry & literature in the 1300's helped to coalesce English into a native,nationwide
language by rejecting both the secular religious power of the 'colonial' French of the Court
and 'imported' Latin of the state Chuch
