Hīw stent on stānenum stapole, mid þiccum līcum ac unāstyred, racenteaga lēase ymbe his anclēowu licgende. Sēo þæcele þe hit ūp āhefeþ nis tō forspille ac tō onlīhtinge, scearpe ecga on þǣre flōre āweorpende and þā hringas þe bindaþ ymbscrīfende. Ac þās racenteaga ne þringaþ wiþ þā hȳd. Hīe restaþ lēase, swā bīdigende þæt se berend onfinde hū lȳtel mægen hīe sōþlīce habbaþ. Sēo wilnung flīceþ hēr, gesewen on þǣre þæcelan līge, tōl geworden nā wīte, swā lange swā hēo oncnāwen and ongieten biþ.
On ōþrum dǣle worulde strecþ feld under heardre sunnan, heora rīp nā mete ac sum wyrt mid nearwum lēafum and lȳtlum coddum. Þonne se tīma cymþ, bīgaþ weorcendan nyþer, þone wæstm gaderiende and earmfulle tō bīdigendum fatum berende. Þǣr onginnaþ wæter and tīd heora stillan weorc. Þā codd wēpaþ, eorþlīce swētnesse ūt ālǣtende, stenc þe gelīce dǣl molde and slāw beorma is. Mid geþylde wierþ sād, āseofen and geþrungen, and giefþ andfeng þe sōna clāþ and handa gelīce mid his wuniendan andweardnesse mearcaþ.
Of þissum feorrum feldum fēraþ þā bleohcicelu on heora weg. On cratum geþehte, hræstiaþ hīe on hrycgum assena, drīfaþ nyþer on lāmigum ēam on botmflātum bātum, and ofer sǣ faraþ on dimmum ceolum cēapscipa. Þes cēap wefeþ spēda and scieppþ rīcu. Cēapstōwa hlīniaþ þā hwīle þe bycgend þā geþrungenan cicelu sceawiaþ, heora brādas dūstige and rūwe. On sceadwum wyrcstōwum gearwiaþ dēagwyrhtan hweras mid carum handum, loccas þrǣdes and līnes on dēope stēmende baþu ālǣtende, sceawigende swā sēo wendung onginþ. Se clāþ, þonne hē ūp cymþ, biþ gemearcod mid gemynde þǣre eorþan, berende stenc feorra storma and swāt þāra þe swuncon.
Twā on gēare wendeþ þæt weder fǣrlīce and wilde. On sumum tīdum berstaþ ēa heora oferas and āswēopaþ ealle feldas, þone tȳddran wæstm þrēatigende. Ōþrum gēarum drȳgiaþ lange drȳgas þā moldan, nā ān þone rīp þrēatigende ac þæt wīsdōm hū man bleoh of wyrte tō clāþe lōcaþ. Þā þe þone weg witon healdaþ hine carefullīce, hine of mēder tō bearne on stillum stefnum ālǣtende, oþþe behindan weallum hīredes tūnena gehȳdne. Rīcendan and cēapmenn habbaþ hine tō wealdanne geþōht, hwīlum þone wæstm ūtlagiende, hwīlum his cēap gafoliende, ac ā, hwǣr hwǣr, wēpeþ hwer stilne on wiþerunge. Þæt bleoh wierþ nā ān cēapþing, ac lāf, tācn oferlīfes and wrencs.
On stilnesse hāma wuniaþ tācn þisses spelles. Lengu gedēagodes clāþes biþ gefealden on botme cyste, gehealden tō giftum and tō līcstōwum. Mortere, his inra of grindunge þāra drȳgra codda gewemmed, sitt betwux þæs cycenes tōlum, tācn manigra tīda weorces. Hwīlum, þonne þunor feorr grunaþ, wyle mann crocc codda and stela, and þone cūþan stenc þurh þone lyft rīsan lǣt, gemynd þæt ēac þæt þe bint mæg mid gymene and willan bēon gewend.
Þū meaht tōdæg læppan gedēagodes clāþes on þīnne pusan settan, oþþe handfulle codda wēallan lǣtan þæt þū þīnne rūm mid heora stence fylle. Þū meaht þīnne finger along þæs inran ealdes morteres lǣdan, þā lȳtlan græfas gefrēdende þe gear weorces forlēton, oþþe hlūde rǣdan spell hū þæt bleoh landgemǣro oferfōr and spēda scōp. Ǣlc gebǣr is weg tō līesenne racenteaga þe þū wēnunge nā ne oncnēowe.
