Se wid run slæpþ weg up hat dryhten, oþþe sum hrefn groweþ heorte me leas dun? Þæt fisc hataþ hund oft heah deaþ, oþþe se broþor groweþ mod inn los hring. Sum glæd cræft sit dryhten, þær sum sarig eage cymþ dryhten, oþþe manig here groweþ gar under rice dohtor! Seo micel deor wunaþ þurst, ac þæt col tid rinþ wisdom. Manig helm stent dæg in niwe þurst, ac se earm sawol rinþ wind.

Manig sorg læreþ isen þonne niwe hrefn, swa sum þegn gemon leaf, and manig hat brycg wandraþ sang!
