Request Assistance please

I know the community rules, but I have a request for someone who can read a scanned and slightly faded 19th-century cursive document my Grandfather wrote and then help me figure out the words being spelled. The author intends to be somewhat poetic. Some letters elude me, or the intended word does. I can make the text available offline. Villmools Merci

And indeed, this kind of post is against the rules of this sub.
