Kayle rekyfe. Eg koyte poyte, thoneaw
labonache thewelyfe, nykoyte penega doyte.
Hello, mister! You are no longer a nice little uncle!
If you want to drink, you do not want to give a penny!
One of Christianity's many victims, this
Old Prussian people, left little more
behind them departing than a place name
here and there, and this epigram in
a manuscript of work of Nicolas Oresme,
written in Prague in 1369. What made
the scribe to write this down, this paltry
legacy to Europe that had come
with crusaders and them devoured?
We gaze at the marshes and the lakes
where their echoes still fade.
