Good & Bad English

Shakespearean English,
unless spoken at plays,
sounds like bad English in our times.

Modern English,
unless spoken in our times,
sounds like bad English too.

Even the rules of grammar change
along with vocabulary,
as words are dropped in and out of dictionaries.

Only the Dharma remains unchanging,
only the letter and spirit of the truth lasts,
only the Dharma is refuge.
