Sweord riht gesett be sīdan gewegendre wǣge stent on stillum cleofan, and læt morgen þringþ wiþ hēah ēagþȳrel. Sunnanlēoht gȳt riht ofer þǣre ecge and ofer þām fealdum þæs behangnan clāþes behindan. Hēr hæfþ ǣlc hīw his andgiet: þæt sweord for sōþe, sēo wǣge for edlēane, se clāþ for þām þe is behȳded oþþe ætīewed, se middæg for tīde þonne sceadu is scortost and intinga edlēan mēteþ būtan searwe. On þissum beorhtan stilnesse is man gemyndgod þæt riht nis nā word āna, ac getimbru þe dæghwāmlīce of gesewenum and ungesewenum dǣdum biþ arǣred.

Geond þēoda hæfþ sēo sōcn rihtes oft his tācen on scīnendum andweorce funden: mynet gegræfen mid andwlitum and mid rīmum, of handa on handa gangen under gīemene wīsendra and folces samod. On ealdre byrig Lydia mēton cēapmenn corn and wulle mid clincigendum hringum þe þæs cyninges mearc geþrȳc, and ǣlc cēapung wæs behāt þæt se wǣge sōþlīce þām weorþe geþwǣre. Se ilca mete, of ēam getogen oþþe of stāne ābrogden, wearþ þrǣd on weblōmum Alexandria, scīnende under tempeltorhtum þā hwīle þe prēostas lāc and gyltas wrīton. On Byzantium wǣron cynehelmas and hringas of him gesceapene trēowtācnu, gewrixlede æt tempelstæpum þonne āþas wǣron gesworene. Þonne sacu ārās, þonne wæs þæs dēmendes hring oþþe scepter, hefig and beorht, on þone bēod gesett eallum tō sēonne: tācen þæt dōmas woldon bindan, and þæt gewitnes openlīce wǣre āsmēad.

Sēo middægsunne, on hire rihtostan stede, is oft þære gerēcednesse tīd gehāten. On hēahum feldum middelre Asie woldon cēapmenn heora seolc and heora wyrtgemang riht on middæge lecgan, þonne nān þing on sceade geteldes oþþe crætes ne mihte hȳdan. Eorþtilian geond þā Wendelsǣ þerscodon hwǣte on þissum tīdum, and getrēowdon þām lēohte þæt hit ǣlcne ceaf and ǣlcne corn ætīewde. On mynstrum mearcodon þā miclan bellan þone gang þā hwīle þe munecas gaderodon tō wrītenne bōca, and heora blæcfatu scīnon þæt lēoht of þām hēahum ēagþȳrelum þe nāne glæs næfdon. On ǣlcere stōwe wæs se rīm clǣne: þonne þæt lēoht eall ætīewde, þonne wæs þēow word tō dǣde, wǣge tō gemete, behāt tō gefyllednesse tō mētenne.

On ealdum spellum sōhton hǣleþas gærsumas dēope under eorþan behȳdede. Þæs dracan hord oþþe þæs cyninges ālīesnes næs næfre nā hēap scīnendra þinga āna, ac costnung: mihte se sēcenda hit mid clǣnum handum beran? Þonne þæt andweorc būtan searwe wæs genumen, þonne mearcodon þā þe wācodon, godu, gāstas, foregengan, þā dǣde rihtwīse. Se rihtwīsa dēmend on ǣlcum spelle, sīe hē mid feþerum bewrogen oþþe under elebēame sittende, wæg nā þæt gewitnes āna ac þone willan behindan him. Þus wæs sēo sōcn rihtes ā geþēod tō sumum þe man mihte healdan, metan, tellan, oþþe werian.

Tōdæg mæg mann mǣgþlāf glisian, hring oþþe loccet mid langre race, ǣr hē earfoþe sprǣce ongā, and lætan hit hine gemyndgian sōþlīce tō sprecanne. Man mæg mynet on þām bēode wegan þā hwīle þe hē gyltas gielt, and bīdan tō smeagenne þæt riht ǣlces cēapes. Nīwne clāþ ofer ēagþȳrel on middæge tō hōnne, þæt mæg mann beorhtnesse on rūm lāþian, and nǣnne stede dīegolnessum lǣfan. Oþþe ānfeald dǣd: wrīt ærendgewrit, carfull on ǣlcum worde, swā hit wǣre gecwide tō healdanne.
