Yes that is literally a copy paste of the original text of beowulf
Beowulf was written in Old English
yeah it's from here
Looks like it stumbled across a few mistranslations
"I know I can treat you better than she can"
But other than that it appears to be mainly Old English
Look quantum man

Wa bið þæm ðe sceal þurh sliðne nið sawle bescufan in fyres fæþm, frofre ne wenan, wihte gewendan; wel bið þæm þe mot æfter deaðdæge drihten secean ond to fæder fæþmum freoðo wilnian
I prefer ancient English
Nay, drihten secean is supposed to be vice versa
no it's not because the writer who wrote this in old english didn't write it that way
I know not why am so sad
and he was a native old english speaker

It's not pure english
It's a dialect
It is pure old english
West Saxon.
it's West Saxon Old English
yeah that's the main literary dialect
if you see an Old English text it's probably gonna be West Saxon Old English
Main aspect is
"It was West Saxon that formed the basis for the literary standard of the later Old English period"
It hit one rock in transcripture
This guy is no Shakespeare
The guy that wrote beowulf is an ancient Shakespeare
