the phrase is “many a true word is spoken in jest”
or similar
it cannot be “is spake”, because “spake” is past tense, not the past participle. the word “spake” is the same as “spoke” (as a verb, not part of a wheel)
if you want to try to sound clever when you don’t know your grammar, have the good grace to google the answer. otherwise it just sounds bizarre, and draws attention to ignorance

Well. That’s thirty seconds of content skimming I won’t get back.
If someone wishes to make a point, just fooking make it, don’t meander around like a room full of gibbons trying to come up with Shakespeare.

Well it’s not true. For instance, if you have a bad car you can make a bonfire out of it, or use it to sleep in, or keep chickens in it.
You cannot keep chickens in no car.

The fact that Brexiteers think severing decades of economic and legislative ties is as simple as not buying a car says it all tbh
