How can I get the Middle English and Modern English from this page?
#3
You are right about the part at the top, and the bottom. I get that text

In between, if you look at the webpage source code, there are endless lines of html p tag pairs.

That's where the Middle English and Modern English goes. But it must be inserted by some kind of PHP, Java or Ajax trick, because the text is not present in the webpage source code.

The webpage displays the Middle English and Modern English correctly, but it is protected somehow. Can't be a copyright issue, it was written more than a thousand years ago.

Maybe the Modern English translation is protected?

Wouldn't normally be a problem, I have the Middle English text, and a Modern English translation. The problem is, as far as I know there are about 6 existing original manuscripts, which are not exactly the same.

Last night, I was checking what I have against each other. Around line 700, things start to go wrong.

That's why this webpage Middle English / Modern English would be good.
