Translation help with John Steinbeck's "The Winter of Our Discontent"?
it's anglo-saxon.
"mé nædre beswác, fáh wyrm þurh fægir word":
hostile serpent deceived me fair words.
"seó leó gif heó blódes onbirigþ ábít ǽrest hire ládteów"
lioness, if tastes blood, rend keeper first.
ethan's aunt says, "me beswac fah wyrm thurh faegir word...seo leo gif heo blades onbirigth abit aerest hire ladteow."
mean?
