Annotation
A selection of the earliest poems in English comprising works from an age in which verse was not written down, but recited aloud and remembered. This work contains natural order of life, and the Exeter Riddles that are witty linguistic puzzles. Love elegies include emotional speeches from an abandoned wife and separated lovers.
