Note
The verb is archaic and rare, so today it reads as a deliberate period touch. It always takes an object and sits comfortably in the passive, with by naming the translator: a poem englished by a country parson. It may also be written with a capital E. In everyday prose, translated into English or anglicized does the job without the antique flavor.
