Þæt lēohtfæt is ācwenct and se wind on sculdre þæs muntes is scearp. Se ealda pæþ þe lǣdde niþer, se þe Se Ānsetla ǣr fōr, lēohtfæt āhafen, is gewiten under drīfendum mistum. On þisse wendunge ne ofdȳfþ Se Ānsetla ne sēcþ edwist ōþerra stefna. Hē wunaþ on þām clūdum, se stæf on his handa rūh mid ylde, fealda his gewederodan menteles nēah ātogene wiþ þone ciele. Sēo woruld is geworden āsmorod, þā stānas under fōtum swīgende and unlīhte. Se stede nis nā niht ne full dæg, ac sēo swīge æfter þām þe þā wolcnu habbaþ geswolgen þā sunnan, þonne ēac se lǣsta swēg biþ forloren.
Hwǣr neoþan hēapiaþ hrōfas ealdes sciferstānes on þām miste. Heora tigelu, lagode swā scilla carpan, āsmoriaþ ǣlcne regn þe fielþ.

Munt þæs Ānsetlan þyncþ nū endelēas, stōw þǣr tīd ne gǣþ, þǣr nāht ne weaxeþ būton þǣre drȳgan ragu þe sǣdeþ hire self on þām cinum. Se lyft is gestenced mid stence bærndes īsenes of ofergitenum smiþþum and mid smæcce smocan þe ǣr wand of heorþum, gemynd līfa gehealdra sundor, wearmþe ungedǣledre.
On ealdum burgum lǣddon yselstrǣta tō durum behindan þām ealde menn macodon heora līf mid stampum and morterum, grindende stānas tō dūste on morterbollum. Þǣr slōh þæt lēoht āna on snædum, þurh nearwum ēagþyrlum, nǣfre genōg tō tōdrīfanne þone singalan dimnesse. On bēodum anbīdedon tīnsponas and tēacroccas handa þe seldon cōmon, and se lyft wæs ā hefig, gehefegod fram gēarum swīge. Mynster on feorrum hlīþum hēoldon bōc gebundene on assanhȳde, þā trāmetta ymbwindende innweard, unrǣd. Heora bellan ne hringdon gēartīenu. Dūst gaderode on hyrnum, and se ānga swēg wæs sūfung slypescōsa on cealdum flōrstānum.
Se Ānsetla, wiþsācende cīg þǣre dene, hielt his wæcce. Hē geman þā ealdan cēapwegas, þā faru þe ǣr brohton saccas fȳrmelu, eorþswammas gedelfede of wyrttrumigre molde, and þā heardan rinda rygehlāfa gebacenra on glēdum. Eall is gewiten.

Ac ēac on þisse ānlīfe mæg man findan lȳtle wegas tō scyppenne þone dæg. Man mæg glisnian ealdne tīncuppan, and forþbringan gāst scīnunges. Ōþer mihte grindan stincende sǣd on mortere, and forlǣtan stencas þe fyllaþ þone rūm and scūfaþ on bæc þā swīge. Þridda mihte dragan līnan ofergitenes ǣrendgewrites, fylgende þæt blæc swā hit gȳt bære stefn. Oþþe, ānlīce, gān ūt on þā dropunge, and felan þone fæstan hrine wederes þe ne hwierfþ.
