Answer:

the earliest dream poem and one of the finest religious poems in the English language, once, but no longer, attributed to Caedmon or Cynewulf. In a dream the unknown poet beholds a beautiful tree—the rood, or cross, on which Christ died. The rood tells him its own story. Forced to be the instrument of the saviour’s death, it describes how it suffered the nail wounds, spear shafts, and insults along with Christ to fulfill God’s will. Once blood-stained and horrible, it is now the resplendent sign of mankind’s redemption. The poem was originally known only in fragmentary form from some 8th-century runic inscriptions on the Ruthwell Cross, now standing in the parish church of Ruthwell, now Dumfries District, Dumfries and Galloway Region, Scot. The complete version became known with the discovery of the 10th-century Vercelli Book in northern Italy in 1822.

"My teacher hath shewn the class how to divide fractions."
"Doing my chores without being asked hath shewn that I can be responsible."

The phrase "hath shewn" isn't one that we typically hear in conversations or see in writing anymore, right? <em />In the passage above, "hath" is a conjugation of the verb "to have" that is not used anymore. For <em>I, we, </em>and <em>ye "</em>they have" would be used. For <em>thou<u /> </em>(now we use "they"), the word <em>"</em>hast"<em> </em>would be used. When using the conjugation for <em>he, she, </em>or <em>it, </em>the word "hath" was used. <em>Shewn</em> is a former spelling of the word "shown" that we use today. <em />If Jefferson were to write this passage incorrect contemporary English, instead of "hath shewn", he would write "has shown".
