Geong fērend stent æt þām gemære, þær wilde þȳme þiccaþ æt þǣre ecge and wind ūp of þām uncūþan niþer rēsþ. Rōse is behindan ānre ēare gedōn, þā blēda nēah unwǣge, bifigende mid ǣlcum orþe.

On swilcum dagum gǣþ se fērend ūt, and gefrēdeþ þone lyft on his andwlitan, þā smalan dropan gaderigende on his scylde and on fele þæs hundes. Hit is swā sēo woruld tācne: nū is tīd tō onginnanne, þone weg tō folgianne, þām grunde tō trūwienne ēac þær hē on mist fordwinþ.
