Mine liverie

I be astonyenged that enyone would apayren mine liverie as it be aperte to al and sondry that mine kirtel and vestmentes are fyne and a plesing colour of blew. Wherefore 'vapide' and 'poncye'?

Yet maistre Geofroi is a parfit Darth Vader in his attyre. And he doth seme constipated in his visage.

Wherefore speken to the hende?

Zounds! Nowe mine baitere Maistre Geoffroi Chaucer assayles me ayain:

Yay, lette vs seen howe Kynge Richarde lyke Johan Goweres traisonous sentimentz in his confessio amantis! I had rath speken to the hande than hange from the gallowes pole.

I knowe not of what he speketh. Ich ywrote that lytel morale wereke for KYNGGE RICHARDE at his bydding and receyved meny plesaunt wordes from my lorde in yts favor. Perhapes maitre Geofroi be sore agreved as the KYNGES fayre wordes were notte for him.

Why ich latere copyed that humble werke for my lorde Henry is another mater entyrely.

Where be mine keye of 'thorn'?

I be somwhat awhaped bye this contrivaunce called a 'keyeborde' as ich have yet to yfind keyes to represaunt severalle comune letteres. And I see not whye some call its felawe contrivaunce a 'mouse' as it semes not to have a tayle, or legges, or any haire at all. And it semes in no waye to have ynterest in my chees.

Be there any wight outen there who canne give me aid with this matere? I wold be right gratefulle for thine asistaunce.
