Ever wondered what Jabberwocky would sound like in southeastern Middle English ca. 1370 or so? Heh I didn't think so. But here you go anyway. I did it.

In a some cases, I took words that didn't survive from Old English & pretended they had Middle English reflexes. "Guþrew" (vorpal) is 1 such case (from Gūðrēow, an OE poetic term). As is the "Shou" (from scūwa) of "Shoufenged".
