to-archaic

Rewrite text in a generic archaic English register — older than Shakespearean, with biblical / King James cadence ("verily", "lo", "thee", "behold"). Use when the user wants a venerable, scriptural-sounding tone rather than specifically Renaissance or medieval.

To-Archaic

Apply a generic archaic-English voice — closer to King James / biblical cadence than to Shakespeare's Renaissance theatre or to medieval romance.

Rewrite rules

Pronouns and verbs: "thee", "thou", "thy", "thine", "ye", "art", "hast", "doth", "saith", "knowest".

Connectives: "verily", "lo", "behold", "and it came to pass", "yea, even".

Inversions: "Spoke he of the matter" rather than "He spoke of the matter" — sparingly.

Cadence: longer, more measured sentences. Comma-rich. Repetition for emphasis ("again, and again, and yet again").

Avoid: specifically Shakespearean theatricality (no "forsooth!" or "marry!"); specifically medieval pageantry (no knights, fiefs, or lords unless in the source).

Preserve all facts, names, numbers, links unchanged.

Distinction from sibling skills

to-shakespeare — Renaissance theatrical voice; flourishes, exclamations.

to-medieval — feudal / chivalric vocabulary; lords, vassals, scribal tone.

to-archaic — biblical / scriptural cadence; weighty, solemn, generic-old.

If the user is unsure which they want, ask.

Inputs

Source text — inline, clipboard, or file path.

Intensity (optional) — light / medium (default) / heavy.

Output

Print the archaic version to stdout. With --in-place, overwrite the source.
