Sēo anlīcnes is stillu and gemyndig: wæter gȳt līþe of ānum fæt on ōþer, handa stæþige and geþyldige. Under þām ligeþ pōl still, and scēawaþ þā fare bufan. Begeondan stīgþ smal pæþ līþne hrycg, behāt sceawunge æfter carfulre gemengunge. Þæt weorc hēr is gemeten and clǣn, nā efestung, nā unspēd. Þǣr wæter findeþ emnet, biþ sum smæl and þēah micel þing gefremed: gemengung twēgra þinga, nǣfre fullīce gelīcra, on nīwe geþwǣrnesse.
Geond þā ealdan rīcu wæs metal þe menn hēoldon ofer ealle ōþre. Cyningas and prēostas cnysedon hit on bēagas tō earmum, bēagas tō hēafdum, mynet tō hordum.

Hit wearþ andweorc langunge, færelda, and friþuwǣra, tācn hū wīd sēo burgwīse rǣhte. On Grēciscum spelle ēhtiaþ hæleþas æppla þisses metales on feorrum wyrtūnum, mid dracum gehealdene. Midas, mid lēasre hrīninge, wende his bēod and his mete on þæt ilce seldne þing, and geleornode wærlīcnesse on heardum wege. On Ægypte frætwode his lēaf þāra pharaona byrgenna, and oferfōr þā mearce betwēonan līfe and dēaþe swā behāt wiþ forweorþunge.
On hāme ætīewþ hit on tōlum ēgþer ge blisse ge gemetes. Þǣr sind hringas þe lufiende wrixliaþ, tācn āþa gedōnra and gehealdenra. Smale mynet restaþ on ealdum pungum, gehealden tō þǣre tīde þonne dagas sind hlēowe. Æt nīwum gēare hrēraþ sume hīredas heardne clott, on clāþe bewundenne, on hlāf, stillne wyscan wæstme on þām gēare þe cymþ. On cicenum brūcþ man smælne sēoh of þissum metale geglēsedne, tō tēonne þone clǣnestan broþ of wylmendum croccan, andwlitan geþyldes and gīemene. On symbeldagum biþ þrǣd āspunnen swā þynne þæt man hine mæg wefan on cyrtlas oþþe sīwian on anlīcnessa, hōniende þæt lēoht swā hē styreþ, nǣfre ofermōdig, ac ān gemyndigende þæs hordes þe on þām clāþe is geworht.
Weder ēac mæg ēacnian þisse carte gāst. Þǣr sind morgenas þonne þā ǣrestan leoman ofer hyllas seolfaþ, and onlīhtaþ dēaw on wildum gærsse and hrōf feorra tūna. On swelcum hwīlum þyncþ þæt land mid līþum scīne oferāgoten, nā heard, ac glīemende mid behāte. Sēo woruld is stil, swā hēo bīde þæs dæges weorces anginn, and þæt lēoht is ēgþer ge lāþung ge blētsung. On hærfeste swegiaþ hwǣtefeld, rīpe ǣr hærfeste, under hēahum heofone, and hira styrenes is self sēo anlīcnes gemengunge and gearonesse.
