Ironic

To think for ye self,

 

solely and unrivalled.

 

-aye, Victorious!

 

 

To sculpt a smilen

 

on others' visage;

 

-ye ne’er crave.

 

 

But,

 

the kin’s desiren

 

hath thine

 

becometh.

Notes

*Got influenced by the language used in Oedipus translated version. This is my first attempt to experiment with Middle English. The actual issue was prompted by my surrounding but the words used at the initial point were given a second thought. So, some words are revised, they aren’t really impromptu.

P/S: I’m open to criticism.
