Sēo Metgung

Sēo Metgung bitt þē mengan andgietu carfullīce, swā wæter yrnþ līþe betwēonan twām calicum. Nāþer calic ne biþ ūt āgoten, and nāþer ne stent īdel.

Gemet hēr is nā medumnes. Hit is se weg þe twā ungelīcu mægenu magon on ānum flōwe bēon. Þū gēotst lȳt, and eft lȳt, and se flōw wunaþ.

Tōdæg gēot æne, and bīd. Ne fyll ān fæt on āne tīd. Þā twā healfa þurfon bēgen libban on þām gemete.

Sēo Metgung onwend ætīewþ wæter þe gȳt būtan þām calice, and þæt is ungewæg, oþþe gemengednes þe ne gelimpþ. Ān healf drincþ eall, and sēo ōþer wunaþ drȳge.

Onwend, þū gēotst tō hræde, oþþe þū ne gēotst nā, and hāttst þā stilnesse gemet. Þā fatu ne mētaþ. Se flōw biþ oþþe flōd, oþþe nān.

Tōdæg nim þone calic eft on þā handa. Gēot lȳt on þā healf þe drȳge is. Gemet onginnþ eft mid ānum lȳtlum gote, nā mid māran willan.
