Dost thou wish to bestow this language? I beseech thee to read most well.
 
The sentence above is middle modern English. Once you learn the language you can understand those Shakespeare book better. Or maybe your some person who goes around reenacting mid evil scenes and plays. Whatever the case is your interested in learning this language. Before you try to make up your own sentences in Middle Modern English learn what each word means first. I tried me best not to throw too many new words at you. If you still wish to learn more just search "archaic words" on your favorite search engine.
