In which I read Marvell's "Horatian Ode Upon Cromwell's Return From Ireland" in a reconstruction of mid-17th century pronunciation
The background text is taken from the earliest manuscript of the poem, copied by hand into a printed edition of Marvell's works where the printed text had been removed
I read "do" w/ the GOAT vowel rather than the GOOSE vowel when rhymed w/ "know" here.
