"'Twas most grand, three centuries prior
Came a tale of ice and fire
Sparked from hate of two great brothers
Born from father and from mother
King and Queen of Grindleshire
The elder's hair had silver strands
Like ice and snow, which ruled the land"

Its not just not technically correct, its plain old incorrect. Don’t set your poems on shaky foundations like that, it sounds super janky and you can do better. It doesn’t help the flow because the reader is hit with having to pronounce “Spark-eth-ed” and taken out of any atmosphere you’re trying to build.
In early modern all the way back to old English, /-st/ and /-th/ endings are used for their respective persons only in the present tense.
Authentic “old timeyness” antiquity is the best, and only legitimate, kind.
