Stapol tōdǣlþ þone midde þæs rūmes. His brād is smēþe gewered mid færeld manigra handa, gelīce ǣwe and nytt. Twēgen līchaman wuniaþ æt his grundwealle, ǣlc gemearcod mid īsenbende æt þǣm anclēowe, and þā hringas licgaþ lēase and nā āþenede. Þæcele ufan byrnþ fæste, and onlīht ǣlcne cinu on þǣm stāne and ǣlcne weg þe se tīma bēodeþ. Racenteaga ne healdon þā līchaman fæste. Hīe wuniaþ for þǣm þe se ēagþyrel is elles hwǣr. Sēo wilnung is tōl þonne hēo oncnāwen biþ, þēow nā hlāford.
Feorr fram þǣm flīcigendan lēohte bēodeþ sēo woruld hire āgene spell. On hēahlandum and on gewridenum wudum flugon menn ǣr ēhtnesse, and corfon tūnas þe þā bindendan ne mihton gerǣcan. Þā tūnas, mid genumenum īsene, gewefenum palmtwīgum, and edniwodum lāme getimbrode, wēoxon of wiþerunge and of nīede. Sēo eorþe self wæs gewended. Ǣlc furh wæs gesāwen fram þǣm þe wiste þæt tō lybbenne wæs ēac tō edniwianne. Þās gefērscipe, on dīegolnesse and on anrǣdnesse gesmiþode, wurdon spell, and heora naman selfe hlīniaþ þā dǣd ālīesunge, weg ūt and weg þurh.
Æt hām wierþ se cycenbēod scēawstede lȳtelra wendunga. Cisten, hire scell gemearcod and dimm, tobirsteþ mid cnylle pilestre, and hire flǣsc biþ ætīewed þǣm coces geþyldigum handum. On þǣm meteclyfan stent eald glæsfæt cornæpples swētsēawes betwux þǣm wyrtum. Se cōc hladaþ dǣl, and lǣt hine slīdan on wēallendne briw, þǣr hit þiccaþ and swētaþ, and gemynd and dēopnesse on þone mete geondgoteþ. Swylce andfengas sind wæstm langre geþylde, wæstmes þe man wrang and hāte þe man on āsette, slāwre wendunge þe nytt geweorþen is.
Sēo wyrcstōw is cleofa hringa and cnotta. Rāpcoilas hangiaþ of bēamum, gearwe tō bindenne byrþenne tō feormianne oþþe tō unbindenne ǣr færeld. Scōwyrhtan æl resteþ wiþ stæcc scōhsola, his handfæst mid bōtum gewered, his ord mid care gelǣded. Handa brūcaþ þissa tōla tō fæstnunge and tō ālīesunge, and ǣlc cnotta oþþe stice is cyre, hwæt tō healdenne, hwæt tō forlǣtenne.
Se æfternōn wēreþ forþ, and ūte is se heofon nīþerlīc and āblāwen. Se lyft is þicce mid behāte rēnes. Þunor grunaþ, nā gȳt storm ac warnung. Weorcendan efstaþ þurh orcgeardas, windlas fyllende mid wæstme þā hwīle þe þā ǣrestan dropan onginnaþ feallan. Þonne se rēn cymþ, drēmeþ hē on hrōfum and on ēagþyrlum, and se inra lyft þyncþ nēarra and incundra. Æfter þǣre flōde is sēo woruld āþwogen and gearu ōþrum anginne.
On stilnesse æfenes līesaþ lȳtle cyra þæt þe þā tīda bint. Tobrec cisten and dǣl hīe mid þǣm þe nēah stent. Hrēr spōnfulne deorces swētsēawes on crocc, and lǣt hit þone smæcc dēopran dōn. Bēt lengu rāpes oþþe scōs þā hwīle þe þū þæs rēnes fæstan cnylle gehīerst. Scead wierþ willa, and þā tōl bindunge sind ēac þā tōl frēodōmes.
