No, modern English and old English are completely different. Unless you understand this:
Hwæt! wē Gār-Dena in geār-dagum,
þeod-cyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorl.

:p

More like High and Low German, or High German and that crazy Bavarian dialect.
