All Old English poems that were written in Latin? That doesn't make any sense. They're either in Old English or they're in Latin. :)
(The former, by the way. The original Old English source texts for these are available; no need to go through that chain of languages--hell you can translate them yourself if you learn OE.)
Trying to find assonance and alliteration in the translated versions is pretty silly though, agreed.
