So we have come to the point for which all this sad poetic movement was started yesterday. Speaking about Beta traditions, it was not for nothing that I mentioned that they are traced back to the sixth century AD, or even earlier - here, hold the thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A quatrain written in the form which in modern Botian is called englyn unodl union<\/em>, that is, \u201cstraight single-rhyming Anglin.\u201d With the only difference: it was written in the fourth century AD.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This form is structured like this: the first line has 10 syllables, after the fifth of them there is a caesura. In all the rest - seven, with the last syllable of the last three lines and the seventh, eighth or ninth syllable of the first line rhyming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Further, each of the lines uses the so-called kinhaned - a certain technique consisting in constructing a verse based on alliteration and internal rhymes. The codification of different ways of organizing alliteration appeared already in the Middle Ages, but even here it can be traced very well. The verse itself is below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Te-welenn, carenn, carw\u1ecd annverth\u1ecd Translation: And let\u2019s quickly sort it out line by line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Aberthon ti, ammarw\u1ecd
Ber\u1ecdn, arbruy\u1ecdn row\u1ecdn,
Bl\u1ecddowon bl\u0117idhion ll\u1ecdn\u1ecdn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I saw you, desired you, beautiful doe,
Sacrifice to you, immortal,
I would bring it; then I would buy space,
Full of wolf flowers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
