Anyone speak gibberish?

I have an assignment to do about Robert Henryson's "The Preaching of the Swallow" for uni. Part of it is translating the poem into modern english prose. For those of you lucky (and smart) enough to have managed to avoid medieval literature up to now, here's a sample of what I have to translate:
Quhilk fleit, wes befoir with froises fell
and
Sum makand dyke, and sum the pleuch can wynd
This is going to take a while
And OK, yes, I now it's a classic, not gibberish, but why couldn't we stick to Chaucer?
