In「命火眩暈」by 杏ノ助, there are the following lines.

> 頽るる松、 甲羅なき亀 御簾を **上げれど** けふも宵

The other text is perfectly imitating a Sengoku-period Late Middle Japanese
with occasional classical. However, this particular form is unexplicable to
me. It look like a modern-language use. I can only understand it as if there
was a 四段 verb あげる, which, according to the dictionary, never was; for an
actual あぐ, which is 下二, the correct form would be あぐれど. What is happening, a
carelessness of author or some unclear intent?

An unclear form in a song
I doubt [the lyrics](https://youtu.be/O-rXaKZXU1A) are "perfectly imitating a
Sengoku-period Late Middle Japanese". This is not typical 古語 I learned at high
school. 見 **た** and 焼 **い** て are modern 口語 and were not used in those days.
起きられ **ぬ** should probably be 起きられず. Therefore I would say 上げれど is also a
simple mistake made by the author. Another possibility is that the author
intentionally mixed the old and modern grammar and made pseudo-古文 for the sake
of readability.
