Farewell

the assonance and alliteration are excellent. specially the assonance so that part works well with the plowman theme. know only that it was classed as a great literary piece, with lots of assonance, i can't compare any further the two pieces

Billy, I was only concenred to demystify the entrance of Piers, like, 'Who he?' I had had in mind that this place might have been farmed by PP and his like, but I was not attempting to emulate Anglo-Saxon poetry -- if I had, I would not have to be mulling over your punctuation suggestions. The meter, if that is the word, has so many irregularities that I probably will not touch it, otherwise, it would be never-ending.

I wonder now just how and when punctuation developed......

Thanks for reading.
