Stil pæþ tōsprǣt ūpweard, ātogen fram gīemenfullum sandalum þæs Ānsetlan. On ānre handa hē gripeþ trēowne stæf, smēþne geweredne fram brūce and slǣpleasum tīdum. On þǣre ōþerre, lēohtfæt. His glēam ne rǣcþ feorr, ac sēo wearmþ nēah þām lēge is fæst, hring frōfre wiþ þone ciele. Hē is bewunden wiþ þone wind, ǣlc stæpe gemeten, sēo woruld begeondan þām lēohte forhealden, swā ēac se heofon healde his ǣþm. Ānnes nis īdelnes. Hēo is āteorung, āsnīdung, þæt āna þæt þe mæg wunige.
On fære þæs Ānsetlan nis þæt lēohtfæt āna for gesihþe, ac for gymene. Rǣd his glēames is genōg tō ætīewenne hīw þæs nīehstan stānes, þone bōg þe mihte fōn hrægl, oþþe þone fǣrlīcan ecg þæs pæþes. Hit is sēo gegaderode beorhtnes þe cōc mæg sēcan þonne hē sīft melu for þone forman lēohtan cicel lenctenes, oþþe sēo hnesce cycenclāþ līþelīce gelegd ofer dāg þæt hē mōte rīsan unāstyred on þām ǣran tīdum. Þās þēawas sind stille, begymede mid þām lēasestan stence rinde āgnidenre of wæstme, drīfendre þurh þone lyft and setligendre on gemynd.
Feorr fram hlyde þǣre worulde is mynster hēah on Alpum, þǣr, ǣr ǣrdæge, ān belle cīgþ þā brōþor tō gebede. On heora beodderne rest disc on handum þæs munuces, snæd ciceles, his cruma swā lēoht þæt hē þyncþ flēotan ofer þone disc. Se cræft is gemunnen of feorre ealdmēder, þe ǣr wand smeametas on hrōcum clāþe and sende hīe mid hire cildum tō cēapstōwe, fealda þæs clāþes healdende þā swētnesse gesunde. Ūte næfþ sēo sunne gȳt þone munt oferstigen, ac innan is beorhtnes genōg tō mearcienne trāmet sealmbōce, behāt dæges onginnendes mid lȳtelre sibbe.
Weg þæs Ānsetlan nis hēahstrǣt, ac fōtpæþ þurh weder ǣgþer fæger and ungewiss. Þǣr sind dagas þonne mist wealceþ ofer þā hlīþ swā nīþer þæt þæt gærs gewīt, and þæt āna tācn þæs pæþes is se glisn on gangewifran, oþþe se weg þe se mist bēadaþ on ǣrran gēares strēawe forlǣtenum æt þām þerscwolde. Hwīlum, on stillum hūse, tīehþ sum man þā wāghrægl ane hwīle and lǣt þone morgen lecgan his swīge ofer þone bēodclāþ, dragende finger be ecge lȳtles disces, anbīdende ǣr þām forman supe tēan. Sēo woruld is micel, ac þes rūm is genōg.
Of spelle cymþ sēo sagu webban, geþyldigre and ungesewenre, þe þrǣdeþ hire wefl be glēame ānre candele. Hire clāþ is lēoht and smæl, swā þā hrægl boren on hættcystum tō lenctengiftum. Hēo wyrcþ on swīge þæt hēo ne drecc þæt slǣpende hīred, and wāt þæt sēo fægernes on hire weorce is stil, openung gīemene tō sumum grīpendum þinge. Se Ānsetla wāt þis ēac, weorþ ānres lēohtfætes, ānfealdes stæfes, snæde ciceles gebrocenes and gedǣledes æt ende langes dæges.
Tōdæg meaht þū windan hlāf on hnesce smearclāþe, oþþe anbīdan þā hwīle þe þū gnītst citreswæstm, and lǣtan þone stenc wunian on þīnum handum. Þū meaht sittan on þǣre swīge ǣr sunnan ūpstige and sūpan of smælum cuppan, oþþe līþelīce smēþian þā fealda on wāghrægle, and lǣtan þæt forme lēoht inn feallan. Ǣlc dǣd, lȳtel and belocen, hielt þā worulde on earmes lengþe, and bringþ hire āgen frōfor nēah.
