Se Dōm

Beorht clypung ārīsþ, and awecþ menn of langre reste. Sēo bȳme ne cymþ tō wræce āna. Hēo clypaþ þæt þe wæs bebyrged, and bitt hit arīsan.

Se Dōm hēr is se dæg þe þū þīn gefaren līf gehīerst, and hit þē eft clypaþ. Þū ne þearft þē scamian þæs þe þū wǣre. Þū þearft andswarian.

Tōdæg, gif sēo bȳme hafaþ geblāwen, ārīs. Nemne þone naman þe þū ǣr forlēte. Se dōm is nā ende þīn. Hē is sēo lāþung eft intō þām līfe.

Sēo bȳme hafaþ geblāwen, and þū healdst þone loc of innan. Þū gehīerst þā clypunge, and þū cweþst þæt sēo reste gȳt ne sīe gefylled. Se loc is þīn, and sēo byrgen nis nā ūtan belocen.

Onwend, se Dōm wierþ tō ege þæs andswares, nā tō þǣre clypunge selfre. Þū yldest, and hāttst þā yldinge smēagunge. Þā þe ūte bīdaþ, þā ne magon þā duru for þē ontȳnan.

Tōdæg āheb āne hand, and scūf þone loc. Ne þearft þū eall andswarian on ānum worde. Ac ne licge leng under loc þe þū self healdst.
