Of one that is so fair and bright,
/Velut maris stella/,
Brighter than the dayës light,
/Parens et puella/,
I cry to thee, thou see to me,
Lady, pray thy Son for me,
/Tam pia/,
That I mote come to thee,
/Maria/.

Lady, flower of alle thing,
/Rosa sine spina/,
Thou beare Jesu, Heavene King,
/Gratia divina/,
Of alle thou bearst the prize,
Lady Queen of Paradise
/Electa/;
Maide milde, mother, /es
Effecta/.

All this world was forlore
/Eva peccatrice/,
Till our Lord was ybore
/De te genetrice/;
With Ave, it went away,
Thuster night and cometh the day,
/Salutis/.
The well springth out of thee,
/Virtutis/.

[etc]

Is it a poem?

I think so.

And, since the music feels to be present, why not a carol also?

Cythera's too busy with her bubbleheaded blubbering about the poem
being so "intelligent & good" to worry about the fact that PJR tried
to pass the poem off as his own.

Only you or Dunce would mistake a popular 13th-century song (which
might be a poem as well as a song) for the kind of thing I'd try to
pass off as my own for no better reason than that I wrote it.

Is it a set of song lyrics or is it a poem? Or is it a failure at

That's not the point, PJR... the point is that you're claiming credit
on Usenet for writing this popular 13th-century song by leaving the
attribution off.

I'm working on a new one called "Golden Slumbers", btw... heh.

Never read Coulter or Buckley, Peewee.
Unlike you though, when I quote a passage from
another poet, artist or writer, I always include the
name of the work and the author who wrote it.
It's called literary courtesy and it's also the proper
thing to do. Being Brit, you do understand 'proper' don't you?
If you don't, one might conclude you are trying to claim it as your
own.
Of course we all know better don't we?

I don't think it's any more "popular" than the Leonard Cohen poem you
accused me of plagiarising simply because I left the attribution off,
though; so that doesn't obviate the fact that you're just as much a
plagiarist as I am.

Just saying PJR didn't write the poem, and left attribution to the
poet, which by the Rik Roots argument PJR himself agreed to when it
suited his agenda, meant that by signing his name to the poem (and
posting it as the "author" on Usenet), he can be seen as "passing the
poem off as his own" when seen by the "casual reader."

A famous example of this is the recently discussed "Golden Slumbers",
which Lennon & McCartney took credit for writing, yet used the poem by
Thomas Dekker, without credit, word-for-word except for two changes:

http://www.drnaiman.com/poetry/golden-slumbers

and

Wanton Plagiarism?

Few Beatles fans, a reader wrote to the Globe and Mail in 2003,
"wouldn't recognize the words 'Golden slumbers kiss your eyes / Smiles
awake you when you rise / Sleep pretty darling, do not cry / And I
will sing a lullaby.' They are from the song 'Golden Slumbers' on the
Abbey Road album. But, change the word 'darling' to 'wantons' and the
words are lifted intact from a poem by Thomas Dekker. [He] died some
time in the mid-1600s, [so] I'm sure the legal copyright had long
expired, but I always felt a little different about the Beatles after
I stumbled upon this bit of poetry 20 years ago."

Lennon, John (1940-1980) British musician [noted for his work with the
Beatles, as well as such solo recordings as John Lennon (1970),
Imagine (1971), Mind Games (1973), Walls and Bridges (1974), Shaved
Fish (1975), and Rock 'n' Roll (1975)]

Neither of you are plagiarists. You were both playing the same fishing
trick. The difference is that your opponents on the newsgroups are
generally literate and your "buddies" are generally not. Hence, your
failure and PJR's success.

"We know", but Rik Roots obviously wouldn't agree, to give one
example.

Rik would point out that the "casual reader who chanced upon the post
would naturally assume that the person making the post is the author
of the post."

By not giving attribution to the writer of the poem, or any written
material for that matter, the person making the post is either
conciously or unconciously (in Rik's words) "attempting to pass the


poem off as his own."

You attempted to pass Leonard Cohen's words off as your own. You
thought nobody would recognise it.

I did not attempt to pass a famous mediaeval carol off as my own. I
thought everybody would recognise it.

That's the difference between you and me.

You: a thief
Me: not a thief

"And that has made all the difference."


Anyway, let's return to the topic: It's a beautiful carol, but is it a
poem?

I agree with Rik. Posting something written by another
writer without attribution is the same as stealing it.
It's the same respect any writer would expect of their work
being republished.

I wasn't fishing.

It worries me that you can't tell the difference between Dunce's
self-aggrandising plagiarism and my attempt to encourage people to
read mediaeval verse.

As it happens, I modernised a lot of the spelling and adjusted a lot
of the punctuation according to my own ideas about how to make
mediaeval verse easy to read, so I probably own the copyright in the
posted version.

It's interpretive, Peter. So your question holds little validity.

In terms of poetry, it is rhyming.
So it can be considered poetry.
The fact that it is in two different languages is
inconsequential.
Poetry is not a technical, structured, scientific concept.
It is an idealistic, interpretive representation of
language and communication.
Poetry comes in many forms.

Seems fair, whether the poet is living or dead, or if the work is
public domain or copyrighted.

Now, five things for you to remember:

1) It's not my fault you scribble unspeakable shit and call it poetry.

2) It's not my fault that you gargle (off-key) your unspeakable shit to a
non-paying audience of drunks and call it song.

3) It's not my fault that you dislike independent intelligent women almost
as much as they despise you.

4) Don't forget that when we're 20 posts down-thread from here that you can
start whining that I "sniffed you" first.

5) It is entirely your fault that you're an untalented, narcissistic,
two-faced hopeless wanker.

Glad you repeated that lie again, Mushmouth, since I happen to have the
truth right here to set the reord straight. Continue the lie, and that will
provide me with the opportunity to continue to rebuke you with the truth:

Meanwhile, you don't seem to have written anything at all during 2009,
unless you consider your drooling & sniffing behind my posts "writing",

And, Rob Evans, your attitude towards female poets here over the years is
fully documented, you gunkmouthed, whistle-lisping old misogynist.

The difference is that the things I allege happened, while the things
you allege didn't happen.

There's a reason why I didn't attribute the text I quoted (and
somewhat adapted) to an author. Can you guess what that reason is?

As it happens, no, I didn't do "the very same thing" with the carol I
posted. I did not steal it and pretend that I wrote it.

>> You

What you said is unimportant, since what you say is usually a pack of
lies. What you *thought* is what I was talking about, and the thoughts
of stupid people (such as you) are often easy to work out.

You thought nobody would recognise the words you stole.

If you deny it, sue me, and see how stealing Leonard Cohen's words
plays out for you in court.

>> I did not attempt to pass a famous mediaeval carol off as my own.

Nope. Try again, plagiarist. I did not post it as a purported revision
of one of my own poems, which is what you did when you stole from
Leonard Cohen. I posted it as what it is - an early mediaeval carol
that might well count as a real poem.

I'd be flattered that you thought me capable of such a skilful
pastiche of mediaeval technique, if I thought you knew what "pastiche"
meant.

And, btw, the copyright of the "edition" of the carol that I posted is
still owned by me.

You posted it without attribution to the writer, which Rick Roots

You didn't post it without attribution? But you just admitted you made
the post; and there's no attribution, just your name and initials.

IKYABWAI is the best you can do here?

Then (since you're not going by what I've said) you've got absolutely
no evidence of what I "thought." As I said, you're starting to
bullshit.

The fact you can "work out" your own thoughts does not imply that you

Why should I do that, when you've already been talking about having
Cohen sue me (remember?)? There's no need for two trials, is there?

Sure it does. All the known facts are identical. The only difference
between us is: You did it when (based on what you'd said previously)
you believed it was plagiarism. I didn't, and still don't.

So? How would trying to pass it off as a new work of yours make your
action any less plagiarism?

PJR just signed it top-to-bottom, leading the casual reader to assume
it was written by him. As you wrote, since neither of us are mind
readers (and the only mind reader on the newsgroups hasn't posted on
this thread), there's no way to know if this was intentional or not,
but this is exactly what Rik Roots raised such a fuss about a couple
of years ago, calling this sort of thing, posting a poem written by
someone else without attribution, which looks like an attempt to "pass
the poem off as his own", plagiarism, intentional or unintentional.

Which PJR loudly agreed to at the time.

Rick's one of those Englishter poets who pops up around here from time-
to-time, usually to whine about something or other... and always very
loudly when someone like you posts a poem without attributing the
writer, which he sees as "attempting to pass off" the poem as your
own, PJR.

You seem to be having memory problems, since you once agreed with him
when someone else did it.

Love the way you desperately need to add the adjectives.

Now,

1) It's not my fault you scribble unspeakable shit and call it poetry.

2) It's not my fault that you gargle (off-key) your unspeakable shit to a
non-paying audience of drunks and call it song.

3) It's not my fault that you dislike independent intelligent women almost
as much as they despise you.

4) Don't forget that when we're 20 posts down-thread from here that you can
start whining that I "sniffed you" first.

5) It is entirely your fault that you're an untalented, narcissistic,
two-faced hopeless wanker.

Snip away, this will paste back in.

You swallowed it whole.

And in your very first response, you were rude about it because you thought
it was PJR's and were too dumb to recognise (or even suspect) its
provenance.

Do keep spluttering to cover this, stupid.

Assertive, intelligent women that I like & like working with me, I can
name three off the top of my head who I've collaborated with during
2009, Mushmouth:

"Black Crow's Brother" by Will Dockery & Gini Woolfolk:

"Red Lipped Stranger":

"Under The Radar" with Eileen d'Esterno:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEQDFMNcgLA

Meanwhile, you don't seem to have written anything at all during 2009,
unless you consider your drooling & sniffing behind my posts
"writing", Mushmouth.

And, Rob Evans, your attitude towards female poets here over the years
is fully documented, you gunkmouthed, whistle-lisping old misogynist.

me, Mushmouth.

> It's not my fault that you don't like assertive intelligent woman

Since you've repeatedly labelled women "dipstick", "arsehole", "bitch"
and other nasty, misogynistic terms, Mushmouth, you appear to be
projecting your own dislike of "woman", as you put it.

You have, in public, broadcasted your hate constantly on Usenet for a
number of years, Mushmouth, as the examples of your sexual harrassment
and persecution of female poets that are archived prove. Sharon
McElroy, Vera, Pandora, Angel... you seem to have been there for all
of the sleaze slinging.

You are truly a hypocrite (as well as a misogynist), Mushmouth. I've
seen your vicious misogyny archived here over the years, in fact, you
even seek women out to attack them: Vera, Pandora, Sharon McElroy, to
name a few... do you admit that by your logic you must be a
misogynist, Mushmouth? You've called them "dipsticks", and did refer
to Sharon as a "bitch" at least once, while a couple of your friends
have used that term repeatedly against Vera, among others. Vera was
called a "crazy old bitch" and a "loathesome bitch" literally dozens
of times, with your smirking approval, Mushmouth.

You attacked Sharon McElroy personally in the earlier post, in which
you called her a "dipstick", which turns out to be something you
called her often on your participation in the sexual harrassment and
group persecution of her here a decade ago.

Here's one I ran across -with nothing noticable to do with poetry-
where you and some other guy take what looks like a stalker stance,
which is even more creepy considering that in the post excerpted
earlier you were hangingaround 'about 9 miles' from Sharon McElroy's
house:

http://tinyurl.com/mushmouth-dipstick

August 2 1998

"...Contact with Shazz will do that, you know. My current plan is to
continue circling the McElroy homestead from a safe distance so that
you
have to stay there, guarding the front porch. From time to time,
Sharon will
bring you coffee and stop for a little chat. You were right - I am
evil..."

"This is why I sometimes call you a dipstick."

"...Rob Evans wrote: A warning, Robert - as the Chinese used to say
(in the good old days when they were inscrutable) "be careful of what
you wish for in case you get it". I suspect the price of shaggin
shazzer is that you maybe required to achieve rapport. I offer this
advice in order to show my gratitude..."

Here, Rob "mushmouth" Evans indulges in fantasy-lies about the
personal life of Sharon McElroy, a track he's gone on repeatedly over
the years, calling her a "dipstick", apparently lying about her
personal life, and finally calling her a "bitch", of all things:

* *Sharon McElroy* * writes:

>> ------------------------------------------------
>And you don't know how to *believe*!

Rob Evans, mushmouth poet, wrote:
"...Which do you want us to believe first: that you have two
psychopathic
sons? that you own a sawn-off shotgun? that you own two trained attack
dogs?
that you've been getting much lately? None of the above are too
plausible."

More of Mushmouth's "dipstick" comments:

* *Sharon McElroy* * writes:

>You two are just like the insecure little boys in highschool who have to
>hang around other little boys. Makes you feel more secure and *adequate*
>because little boys are not.

Mushmouth wrote:

"C'mon, fair's fair - I was calling you a dipstick long before it
became
fashionable..."

"Tut, tut Sharon - a gentleman always lets a lady come first."

"Presumably, we are talking about your strapping sons again?"

Sharon: " Now Rob, this is going too far. Totally unacceptable. A
*real man* would not talk badly about a woman's sons."

Mushmouth Evans: "And the bitch has a personality (look it up)."
----

Anyway, the thread goes on for hundreds of dreary posts, in typical
Mushmouth fashion, similar to your dreary chopped-up-prose "poetry"
and your sniffing behind everything I write.

Good point - unfortunately for you it's Point 4.

1) It's not my fault you scribble unspeakable shit and call it poetry.

2) It's not my fault that you gargle (off-key) your unspeakable shit to a
non-paying audience of drunks and call it song.

When you decide then you won't seem like such a hypocrite when you
claim it does, Mushmouth.

"We know." -Dennis M. Hammes, Litt. D.

You are truly a hypocrite (as well as a misogynist), Mushmouth. I've


seen your vicious misogyny archived here over the years, in fact, you

This is very amusing, how in your own words you proclaim how we are supposed
to feel about actions such as yours, PJR, posting poetry by others without
attribution, and in your case, signing the works as your own, as you did
with the poem in this thread:

Which is exactly what you did, and exactly the excuse you gave which you

Did I give you my permission to publish an exact copy of my edition of
the text of this anonymous mediaeval carol?

Are you under the mistaken impression that my edition of the text is
in the public domain? Because it fucking IS NOT. I put a lot of
thought into deciding whether or not to indicate that a "silent" vowel
should be pronounced and whether or not semicolons would help to
elucidate the original author's thought. I also left a couple of words
unmodernised because they were untranslatable, IMO.

Therefore, an ignorant wanker like you is NOT permitted to ejaculate
all over my work before running off with it stuffed into a sack marked
"SWAG".

You do *not* want me to do to you what Karla did to Tom Bishop, and
I'd rather not have to do it to you. So stop it, right now.

If I *do* do it to you, remember that I'm not as nice as Karla, and
you'll probably be paying me installments of damages awarded by the
court for the rest of your life, and I'll probably have first claim on
anything you leave after your death too.

So just don't do it. I won't sue you for the thievery you've already
perpetrated, as long as you don't perpetrate any more.

Well, if you do decide to publish it, make sure that (unlike PJ) you
credit Benjamin Britten.

Well, the poem might be worth publishing, after all, to make sure the
actual writer gets proper credit, after PJR's been busily trying to
pass the work off as his own all this time.

It says on the Web page "anonymous, 13th century", you mindbogglingly
stupid pair of brainless idiots.

While in your repost of the poem you've signed PJR at the bottom of
the piece, thus giving the appearance that you're trying to "pass the
poem off" (as Rik Roots might put it) as your own.

He modernised the spelling and punctuation, and reformatted the text,
on his own rather than copy someone else's work. That's what you ought
to have done, rather than simply copy his.

You did substitute a word from the Oxford text in almost every line,
and change most of the punctuation, to try to pass it off as your own
"modernisation."

Modernisation may be good or bad, but there's nothing modern about
"flow'r" or "ev'ry".

I think my
Lady, flower of alle thing
is more readable than his


Lady, flow'r of ev'rything

and may be more poetical too.

I think I'm a better moderniser than the moderniser BB employed.

Looks like PJR was just looking for another copyright he could snatch
up, and a poem he could pass off as his own?

More a matter of what you've tried to pass off as your own work, PJR.

And what have I tried to pass off as my own work, Dreckery?

(Apart, of course, from /my own work/, some of which your friend Dunce
bafflingly thinks was created by Benjamin Britten, but which I'll
continue to "pass off as mine", since I wrote it.)

Note the sig "PJR" and the opening, "Peter J Ross
<p...@example.invalid> wrote", which, by the arguments of poets such
as Rik Roots, signifies PJR as "attempting to pass the poem off as his
own".
