Thy blessed tongue, it trippeth o’er the phrase --- This heavy use of Early Modern English makes the poem seem ironic

I should hope it does :p

Sorry but if you think the construction is very good, I think I might have failed.

There's a chance I've missed the point, but the poem seems to consciously portray the irony and the meter is metrically sound aside from the archaic language that seems intended to be ironic. However, it seems like you need an apostrophe over that ed in the beginning to make it more clear. Now, I've either stated what has already been implicitly expressed or I've further veered on my own disconnected tangent.
