It makes sense, but doesn't follow the format of the meme, which uses "my" (as you, no doubt, already knew).

Silence thyself and take mine wealth?

(Can't use taketh, it's like takes, not take)

“Mine” before a vowel, “my” before a consonant.

Oh! That's why it seemed off. Okay, "take mine earnings" would be okay then?

~~"Earnings" is a consonant and "earn" would be the vowel.~~ Sorry my Bad!

Something tells me you got consonants and vowels mixed up with nouns and verbs. E is always a vowel lol

[–] TeNppa@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hah true! Better not comment before I've had my morning coffee lol

As long as you're wearing a helmet and have a canary, I guess 🤷

Love "Stint thy clapped" but the 2nd "thy" puts us back where we started where we started. And "und" and sounds a bit too Germanic to me...
