I don't get the *DoD* thing either. But the way the back-translation of the
sonnet is written reminds me a lot of how Okrand wrotes his
back-translation of the warrior's anthem:

back-translated sentences in the anthem tend to be more complex and
verbose, and he uses punctuation at the ends of sentences (unlike the King
John back-translation).
