Nearly done teaching it. Borroff's translation is, I guess, tied for the best available, but--and I hate to be a snob about it--there's really no substitute for the original. I doubt Borroff would disagree with me.

which isn't to say that the translation can't be improved* in places: for example, a nice short piece by R. J. Dingley in Explicator some years back suggested that the "gyn" of Patience 146 ("Hit wat3 a ioyles gyn þat Jonas wat3 inne") be glossed as "craft," while Borroff does it as...well, my Borroff's in my office. But trust me. If you're writing a paper on this, please look to the original and don't be afraid of the Middle English dictionary.

* Of course depending on what counts as an improvement: is the translator trying to capture the 'feel' of the original or the sense? Borroff's translation tends to go for the feel and is quite good at that particular task. ( )
