Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | English term or phrase: Hereward, you do not carry the Talisman for another. | The following passage (an inscription) is contained in the draft of a novel set in the 11th century:
"Hereward, you do not carry the Talisman for another. You are the rightful recipient. Wear it with pride."
The translation proposed thus far is:
"Herewardi, tu ago non porto Talismani causa alius. Tu vera dicis acceptor. Gero superbo."
Any comments would be warmly appreciated. |
