Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

I particularly like
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

The epic of Gilgamesh was written in Akkadian like 2000bc. Old English would be more like Beowulf.

Guys, I think this comment is probably just confusing Gilgamesh with Beowulf. Mistakes happen
