…Aaaand what does your response have to do with me again?
Err, nothing, actually. I seem to have slipped down by one comment box when I went to click the “Reply” link; I meant to click the one on Marima’s comment. Sorry about that.

Aw crapbaskets…wish I’d known that beforehand.
I played with different variations: “what have we done?” “what have we unleashed?” “what hath been created?”…but “what hath we wrought?” sounded the funniest to me. shrugs
I wonder if after that little blast, Shiny and Cadance hear something hit the ground outside, and upon investigating discover the smoking skeleton of a full-grown dragon?

“Hath” is third person singular, and unfortunately in Early Modern English the first person plural was already the same as today, i.e. “have”. So, “What hath X wrought?” works well with singular nouns (like “science”) but falls apart if you insert a first or second person pronoun.
@Dirty Bit
“Thy” and “thine” correspond to “your” and “yours” (or parallel “my” and “mine”, if the sound is a better mnemonic for you) – though some writers at the time had the habit of substituting “mine/thine” for “my/thy” if the following word began with a vowel sound, e.g. “mine eyes”.
It’s cool

This is why we use condoms.
Or she’s had several; making the mistake to move onto the next one after the last one ‘expires’
That or she can’t get a boyfriend.
