I was in a chat room and this person was saying these weird things. Eventually I started copy/pasting them into word pad so I could look at them more. I’ve no idea what they mean.

so is what i may have going to be with my price of shoul?  
the late of many will be hard to the shoul.  
with the froth of the help of the year will them be the shoul  
shoul is to the heard of with me. frith the way to mother shoul  
the people will not listen to the way of the light, it is to be for the way of the shoul!  
in all the age the firth mare will be heard of the moon. by way of shoul

Any ideas?

Maybe it’s from the same people who posted [this conversation](http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091116225017AAANtEF).

Perhaps it’s some sort of a Rousselian poem?

Could be misspelling “sheol,” which is, IIRC, the Hebrew word for “grave.”

Could be misspelling “soul,” as in “Is this action worth the price of my soul?”

Otherwise I got nothin.

Could also be [Shul](http://www.yourdictionary.com/shul), which is a common Jewish term for a synagogue.

My hunch is that this person does not speak English and is churning what they want to say through an online translator program.
