When the Nightingale Sings

When þe nyhtegale singes þe wodes waxen grene.
Lef ant gras ant blosme springes in aueryl y wene,
Ant love is to myn herte gon wiþ one spere so kene
Nyht ant day my blod hit drynkes myn herte deþ me tene.

Ich have loved al þis er þat y may love namore,
Ich have siked moni syk lemmon for þin ore.
Me nis love never þe ner ant þat me reweþ sore.
Suete lemmon þench on me—ich have loved þe ore.

Suete lemmon y preye þe of love one speche,
Whil y lyve in world so wyde oþer nulle y seche.
Wiþ þy love my suete leof mi blis þou mihtes eche,
A suete cos of þy mouþ mihte be my leche.

Suete lemmon y preȝe þe of a love bene
ȝef þou me lovest ase men says lemmon as y wene,
Ant ȝef hit þi wille be þou loke þat hit be sene,
So muchel y þenke upon þe þat al y waxe grene.

Bituene Lyncolne ant Lyndeseye, Norhamptoun ant Lounde,
Ne wot y non so fayr a may as y go fore ybounde.
Suete lemmon ypreȝe þe þou lovie me a stounde!
Y wole mone my song
On wham þat hit ys on ylong.

my Poem

PAIN in HEART

Since the first sight

As if I found my new heart

You are prince, I feel

Everything is just for you

I think this is love

The spirit appears like fire

I can smile, I can laugh

But now, you lost from my life

Like swallowed by the earth

You look like wind

Do you know what I feel?

My heart is so painful in deeply

Black... Dark... Is a clear illustration of my life

There is only an empty hope about LOVE

Oh my God....

Is it Your fate?

Is it wrong if I love him?

Is it sinfulness if I want him to be mine?

I will love him in silent

Because I realize that

Love must not be mine

Scratch of this ink,

Drops of my tears...

Are the witness of this pain

But, your name will always saved in my heart

FOREVER...

short speech

Napoleon Bonaparte Speech - Farewell to the Old Guard

Napoleon Bonaparte - Farewell to the Old Guard (1814) following the failed invasion of
Russia and defeat by the Allies

Soldiers of my Old Guard:
I bid you farewell. For twenty years I have constantly accompanied you on the road to honor and glory. In these latter times, as in the days of our prosperity, you have invariably been models of courage and fidelity. With men such as you our cause could not be lost; but the war would have been interminable; it would have been civil war, and that would have entailed deeper misfortunes on France.
I have sacrificed all of my interests to those of the country.
I go, but you, my friends, will continue to serve France. Her happiness was my only thought. It will still be the object of my wishes. Do not regret my fate; if I have consented to survive, it is to serve your glory. I intend to write the history of the great achievements we have performed together. Adieu, my friends. Would I could press you all to my heart.

April 20, 1814.
