Sēo Strengu

Sēo Strengu ne stent on fæstum gripe, ne on micelre ofsetnesse. Hēo stent on þǣre handa þe þone mūþ līþe hielt, and hine ne cnysseþ.

Mægen hēr is stilnes þe ne flīehþ, and ne þearf hrēaman. Þæt wilddēor wunaþ wild, and þēah hit mæg be þē standan. Þū ne bricst hit. Þū eart mid him.

Tōdæg heald līþe þæt þe þū woldest cnyssan. Spræc līþe, and læt þā handa opene. Sēo sōþe strengu ne þearf hrēaman.

Sēo Strengu ætīewþ handa þe sind āheardode, and fingras þe ege beclysaþ, nā cræft. Se gripe is fæst, for þȳ þe þū þē ne trūwast þæt þū mæge līesan.

Þæt wilddēor biþ oþþe āflīemed, oþþe hit oferstīgaþ þā handa. Bēgen weg forleosaþ þone stede þǣr þū and hit mihton standan. Heardnes hæfþ þā stilnesse fordrifen.

Tōdæg līes ānne finger. Ne eart þū lȳtel gif þū ne cnysest. Onginn eft mid openre handa.
