Still līchama stent æt ecge smales pōles, ān fōt hrīnþ wæter, ān fōt tredeþ līþe on cōle eorþan. On hire handum hieldaþ twā calicas flōw of ānum tō ōþrum, carfulne strēam. Bufan bereþ morgenlyft stenc þāwes and blāc scīn dēawes, swā wolcn nū āna wēope on þæt gærs. Se strēam þe hēo gȳt ne efsteþ ne ne spilþ, ac findeþ sibbe on þǣre slāwan gemengunge. Begeondan windþ smal fōtpæþ þurh hrēod and wilde mintan, tō feorrum hrycge mid þǣre sunnan ǣrestan lēohte bestōwen.
On ealdum spellum sind stānas on Ægyptiscum wēstene, gecorfene and gesmēþode be handum þe cūþon þā anbīdunge wæteres ofer gēar. Of þām mȳnum æt Nishapur fundon cēapmenn ēasmolde þæs ilcan blēos swā beorgmera æt ǣrdæge, and bǣron hīe on olfendfarum ofer Seolcweges pāsum. On templum Middelamerices scōpon heaþucræftigan þæt ilce tō clēofum, gedrēfde tō þām weolorum þāra dēadra, behāt gesundes færeldes. Ælc cēapweg and ælc still cræftes hūs wearþ stōw þǣr andwistu wǣron tō sibbe geloccode: copor of eorþan genumen, līmstānes dūst, mennisc orþung ofer glēdum āwæht, smoca rīsend on þynnum ymbhweorfte. Þæt ende næs nāþer metal ne stān, ac lāþung bēgra, heard and þēah līþe, swā se heofon hæfde sceard þǣre handa gelǣned.
Innan þām tūnhūse slīdeþ ǣrdæges lēoht þurh ēagþȳrel and glīemaþ on croccenbollan, his brād mid þām ilcan wæterscīne geglēsed. Se bolla rest be wæterfæte, and bēgen bīdaþ hira tīde æt þām þwealstōwe. Gehende ligeþ hnesce sculdorhrægl, of seolce and fleaxe gewefen, gefealden on cyste. His þrǣdas gemyndgiaþ þā gimmrīcan smalan Wendelsǣs, þǣr dȳferas hwīlum sceardas gaderodon tō cēape, and websteras geleornodon blēo tō gemengenne mid geþylde mynstres wrītere þe gewrit āwrāt. Bufan þām heorþe hangþ ān feþer īsfiþeres, āfæstnod on trēowenan bēame, wegfarendes tācn, hām gebroht æfter fiscaþe be īsigum strēame, feorr upweard fram þǣr sēo ēa mēt þæt feld.
Sēo Metgung is weorc gemengunge. Þæt weder ūte is milde, heofon clǣne ābrōden æfter nihte līþes rēnes, and þæs lyftes ecgas nāþer drȳge ne hefige, ac gemete gesette. Be þām stǣnenan pæþe þringaþ wilde blāwe blōstman and sāgewyrt tōgædere, hira wyrttruman under þǣre brāde besmitene, and ælc tīehþ þæt hit þearf of þām ilcan dǣle eorþan. Be þām pōle hleapaþ dracanflēogan, hira fiþeru bifigende mid lēohte. Þā ealdan goldsmiþas hēton hira cræft æfter geþyldigre hweorfunge wæteres: tōlīesan, gemengan, āseon, eft gegaderian. Þis is dæghwāmlīc weorc þǣre worulde, swā hit is þām gāste.
Tōdæg mæg mann hwīle findan tō fyllenne calic mid cealdum wyllwætere and hine slāwe on ōþerne gēotanne, and þone smēþan strēam sceawian. Hīe magon ealdne gimmhīw polian, and his smēþan stān mid fingres brāde spyrigan, and þā handa gemunan þe hine scōpon. Ūte gangende magon hīe bīdan be pōle þe seo nihtes rēn lǣfde, and þone heofon on þǣre brāde gescēawodne geseon, wolcnu drīfende betwēonan hira tānum. Oþþe æt hām magon hīe hīe selfe on sweotole bewindan, and sibbe līþes flōwendes lyftes orþian, nā tō wearm ne tō ceald, ǣr hīe ūt gāþ þām dæge tō mētenne.
