>modern english translation

No such thing exists, because nobody ever thought of translating English into English.

You just need to translate your brain from stupid to smart.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 9 18:46:07 2011 No.1758957 >>1758909 Dude, it's from the 1660s. This isn't Beowulf or even Chaucer. You need glosses and notes, not a modern translation. The Hawkes edition (Barnes and Noble Classics, $8) is good and cheap.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 9 19:10:07 2011 No.1759013 I prefer a novel format as it's easier on the eyes and I'm a speedreader, but do you seriously have a hard time understanding written English?
