Fifteenth Century Prose and Verse

I should have preferred myself to re-write them in the educated spelling of their own period, which would offer no obstacle of any kind to a modern reader.

我本想自己把它们改写为其所处时代的有教养的拼写，这对现代读者来说不会造成任何障碍。

In any case I am sure that this is not the way to win new readers for our earlier literature.

无论如何，我确信这不是为我们早期文学赢得新读者的方法。
