On þǣre ealdan carte hangþ se wer āhafen, ān anclēow gebunden tō þweorbēame, earmas behindan his hrycge, hēafod onheld niþer. Þonne sēo carte hwierfþ, þonne wiþsæcþ sēo woruld hire reste, and sēo rest wiþstent hire andgiete. Stilnes wierþ tō grīne, nā tō frīþstōwe. Se wer, gȳt hangende, spyrnþ þone lyft, unwillende tō sēonne þæt þe sēo ylding ætīewþ. Se rāp delfþ on þæt wudu ufan, þæt ilce wudu smēþe gewered fram gēarum farendra handa, fram hefignesse and wedere. Hit is þæt ilce timber þe scypþ þæt geoc ofer oxan sculdrum, þæt ilce þe timbraþ setl þæs sadoles, gemearcod fram þrycce and swāte. Sēo byrþen is hefig and ēac cūþ, cynn wiþstandennesse þe tīehþ of weorce and of stǣre.
On þǣre steppan rest se sadol on horses hrycge, leþer ātogen and gefealden of langum rādum ofer wīdum, openum lande. Þæs cræftigan handa stīþiaþ mid gemynde scypunge, hamerunge nægla þurh hȳd and trēow, dragunge þǣre bīege þe gefēhþ ǣgþer rīdere and nīeten. Se sadol nis āna tōl ac gewrit weorces, landbōc þāra fara þe man fōr and þāra þe gȳt sind forwyrnede. Hē anbīdeþ on dimnesse horsernes, healf ofergiten, oþþæt se dæg þe se rīdere fundaþ tō stīgenne and findþ þone gyrdel tō fæste gecnyttodne, wiþsācende tō būganne. Se rīdere, unwillende tō ofāstīgenne, strainþ wiþ þone unāswiciendan gripe, and ofergitt þæt hwīlum forlǣtennes is se ānga weg forþ.
On ōþrum lande is se cycenbēod geworht of þām ilcan heardan wuda, and berþ wunda gēara, stōw þǣr man cnēd hlāf, þǣr man scræpeþ hēahscōs clǣne æfter gange fǣnigre lana. Se bēod hielt gemynd stīþnesse, handa þe wiþsacaþ tō restenne, ēac þonne æfenglōm setlaþ. On him sit bolla gefylled mid hirstedum cistenum, heora scilla hearde and tōbrocene, bit āna ætīewed æfter geþyldigum weorce. Stenc eorþan wunaþ, gemenged mid wearmþe fȳres and smæcce caffes āgotenes of crocces sweartodum fram þām heorþe. Geo anbīdedon wegfarende æt wegcumena hūsum getimbrodum of þissum timbre, sittende on þrīfētum stōlum þā hwīle þe regn sprængde wiþ hlid, se storm ūtan wiþsācende tō gānne.
Sēo gehafene hwīl, þonne geoc, sadol, and bēod weorþaþ byrþenna mā þonne weg, dreccþ þone þe ne mæg underfōn rest. Þǣr is warnung hēr. Tō rīdenne forþ þonne þæt hors is āteorod, tō wyrcenne forþ þonne þā handa sind rēawe, tō forlǣtenne gelaþunge þǣre bence under þǣre āc on þām tūne. On ealdum wudum wǣron þā ilcan strangran stoccas tōclofene tō wǣnhweolum, tō hegestacum þe tȳnaþ þæt land and mearciaþ þā stīþan gemǣru gewinnes. Sēo woruld giefþ anbīdunge, ac nā ealle þe hīe mētaþ willaþ gehīeran.
Tōdæg meaht þū glisnian þā ealdan leþerhēahscōs be þīnre duru, and begyman þā fealda þe manige stæpas macodon. Cnēd dāg on þām cycenbēode, and fel hefignes and grān under þīnum handflorum. Sit ane hwīle on trēowbence, þēah hit sīe āna lengþu cōliendre cuppan. Oþþe gadera cistena, and opena hīe mid geþyldigum handum, and gemun þæt sume scilla āna būgaþ þonne þū geswicst tō nīedanne and anbīdest þæs rihtan hrines.
