[esytorr]

Mid-night, apt time for the academic

Slaving o'er his tomes of arcane lore

Memories buried; Homeric.

In the River Styx, gotten no more

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Iuly, of Iulius; no soul dare bar

His research, fear rules the heart.

Ianuary, of Ianus, logic fails the Star

His mind, insecure as the passing dart

Tick-tock, tick-tock

A dip, eyes lidded. 'Another minute', says he, 'ere I am to sleep'

Rises, but to fall, spilling the ink

Visions; a shepherd guiding his sheep

He rouses not, left there to think

Tick-tock, tick-tock

//

ÞE LORDE bi mi ſcepherd, ic ſhalle not wantte

HE makeþ mi to ly doune in grene paſtures: HE leedeþ mi beſide þe ſtyll wateres

HE reſtoreþ mi Soul: HE leadeþ mi in þe paþes of ryȝtenoueſs for HISSE names ſake.

Yea, þouȝe ic walke þrouȝ þe vally of þe ſcadoue of deaþ, ic wille fere no euil: for ÞOU art with mi; y rodde ⁊ Þ ſtaff HI comferte mi.

ÞOU prepereſt a table before mi in þe preſence of myne enemyes: ÞOU anoynteſt mi headde wiþ oyl; mi cup runneth ouer.

Surely godneſs ⁊ merci ſhall folloue mi al þe dais of mi life: ⁊ ic will duell in þe houſe of þe LORDE for euer.

//

Requiescat in pace.

December 31, 1384:

John Wycliffe, often called the “Morning Star of the Reformation,” dies at about age 64. He championed the authority of Scripture and oversaw the first complete translation of the Bible into English. His teachings deeply influenced later reform movements, especially Jan Hus, and helped lay theological groundwork that would shape the Protestant Reformation. Condemned posthumously at the Council of Constance (1415), his remains were exhumed and burned as an act of symbolic censure.
