STEP I (this is the frustrating pig pen "gibberish" we have so far, courtesy of Nick Pelling's site)

STEP II (putting the letters in a fixed width font so the are easier to deal with)
B L T A C E I A R W U N I S N F N N E L L H S Y W Y D U O
I N I E Y A R Q A T N N T E D M I N U N E H O M S Y R R Y U O

STEP III (assuming they may be read vertically, top to bottom then bottom to top, left to right)

STEP IV(rewriting the letters in the new arrangement)
B I T O N L T I E H E A C Y O' A E R I S S Q A R A H G T W U N D O N N I T T N E S N D E H M F N I M O N N E U S A N L L E L D H H S O O E M Y W S A D Y Y D R Y A R U O H U O
STEP V(what I have so far)
"B (I)*-TON L TIE HE AC (TH)**O (AERIS)*** SQ (ARA)**** . . . ."
*"I" may be the Roman Numeral "One", in which case the pronunciation of the first part would be "B wanton L tie"
**"Y" = "TH" in Old English
***"ERIS" is the ancient Greek goddess of "discord", but "AERIS" is from the Norse for something else, as she was an Earth Goddess, I think. . .
****"ARA" is the Greek constellation of the "altar" where alliances were forged
Tentative translation so far:
"By wanton love tie he act though Aeris square altar . . ."
(Could this be a romance/marriage proposal that was dodged?)
