Stapol, þæcele, racenteaga þe slāciaþ þonne man hīe līeseþ: þis sind þā stānas þisse cartan, and ǣlc is sōþ þing on worulde, ǣlc hūswīse oþþe lāf stōwe.

On his brāde resteþ candelstæf þe man ǣr fand on delcere cotan, swylc þe bereþ þā colstæfnesse geara þe hē stōd wiþ colfȳr and under sōtigum ræftrum.

Þis ne sind tācn þe on swefne flēotaþ, ac þā fæstan þing þe mann findeþ on ealdum hyrnum dēopcelera and on dēopum seāmum þǣre eorþan.
Sēo wilnung is tōl þonne hēo gesewen biþ. Þæt is sēo lār þǣre smiþþan, þǣr se anfilt is gemearcod mid hundum geara hearmeslaga. On heortan winternihtes hangþ cytel ofer wudufȳre, geweorc þæs ilcan anrǣdnesse þe dīamantas of ealdum seāmum tēah.

Ǣlc þissa þinga is fæt wilnunge: se īsencytel, se swearta stān, sēo leþerbōc, se regnscead þe þone storm bīdeþ. Hīe sind gesewene, gehrinene, gegripene, and forlǣtene. Heora nytt is on þǣre oncnāwunge, nā on þǣm clife.
