Anlīcnes þǣre Rihtwīsnesse sitt on hire marmarstōle, sweord riht and twifealde wǣgan on ānrre handa gewegene. Lagu and sōþ, on heora scīnendum emnete, þyncaþ unāstyrede, oþþæt se stōl īdel is. Tōdæg is sēo heall cōl, þæt setl ungeseten, wǣgan swingende būtan stilendre handa. Clypung fōtstapa ādimmaþ, and sum nēodþearflic gewita ætfēole is. Se weg is on stede, ac nān mann ne spricþ. Sēo lagu stent, ac swā īdel tigel on wāge āna, tigel on ofne, gesett and gebacen, and þēah nā gȳt gesett þǣr hit mǣst mæg.
Hwīlum, on ealdum burgum, bærndon stānwyrhtan cloddas on langum rǣwum, smēoc windende ufan hrōfum. Ǣlc tigel, of lāmigre ēaofre tō trumum wāge, wæs āmǣned tō endebyrdnesse, tō healdanne hǣtu inne and stormas ūt. Se tigel heald spell handa þe lām þrȳcdon, ofna þe þurh niht glēowon.

Ūt on forgitenum pæþe sitt heorþ on hrȳrum, gemynd þæs þe bēon sceolde. Se rēn hæfþ his andwlitan þȳrelod, ac under þām mōse wunaþ þæt ealde ofenweorc. On sumum tūnum wunaþ þēaw tigelwyrcunge swā still gewinn, rytm spada and swēg wæteres on dūste. Þæs tigelwyrhtan weorc is ungesewen þonne þæt hūs getimbrod biþ, and þēah, gif se hēafodstān ūt is forlǣten, þonne fealleþ se boga. Riht þonne his healdend næfþ, is swylc: þæt hīw is, ac se nēodþearflica dǣl, andweardnes, dǣlnimung, andetnes sōþes, ætfēole is.
