Tōniht þæs temples duru sind opene, gesmēþode mid cneorissum folma. Binnan, þā hēan hrōfas edlǣcaþ lēasne sang, þǣr hrægl þæs Pāpan þone stānflor swāpaþ. His handa, āhafene on bletsunge, healdaþ cǣgga gepāra, ānne of ealdum īsene, ānne nīwran and beorhtne. Æt his fōtum cnēowiaþ twēgen folgeras, hira hrægl gegaderod swā scēafas rīpes, hira hēafdu gebiged on abīde. Sēo þegnung nis nā færlic nē hlūd. Hēo is gemetod, geerfed, and gemeten, gang of yldrum tō leornere, of ieldran tō cilde.
Ūte feldas streciaþ on gemetum rǣwum būtan þæs temples cealdum sceade. Þā stelan standaþ riht, libbende gemynd geþyldes and geswinces. Þis nis wildu grōwung, ac wæstm gēarhunda handa þe sāwon, rīpton, and gaderodon. Se lyft berþ brǣþ eorþan sōna æfter þām rīpe. Þæs landes spell is geþrycced on ælcum stāne þæs temples, on sæccum þe be durum sind āstaplede, on grindstānum þe mid fæstum handum sind forwerede, on dūste þe on cnapan scōn is gefangen. Ingān is gān on þegnung, and fylgan þām grōfum þe þā ǣrran worhton.
On feorrum felda, under heofone þe is gelōgod mid slawum wolcnum, se ilca corn weorþeþ se hlāf þe is gebrocen æt bēode þæs Pāpan. Se hlāf is þicce and ānfeald, geworht of melwe þe betwux stānum is gegrundan, and gecneden mid handum þe of handum ǣr him leornodon. Se bēod is geseted būtan oferflōde: hlāf, cuppe, lāmþel. Se mete is tācn, līchama ealdes þēawes, fōda gemǣnnesse. On blīciendum blācernlēohte se hlāf scīnþ, lāc of folme tō folme, gripbǣre bend tō feldum þe under mōnan and sunnan wǣron gerīpode.
On þām tūnum þe þæt tempel ymbhringaþ, se corn is mā þonne hlāf. Hē is se hnesca mealt þe on him cildu slǣpaþ, gewefen of ǣrran sǣdes stelum mid wīfum þe stillīce æt ǣfenne sprecaþ. Hē is se scēaf gebunden tō stacan æt gēares wende, tācn þæt þā ealdan wegas wuniaþ þonne se wind þā ēagþyrlu hristeþ and sēo eorþe under fōtum frēoseþ. Bātas on slāwre ēa beraþ þone rīp tō feorrum ceastrum, hira holdas fulle gehāt. On þǣre drēfigan cēape se corn is gemeten and gecēapod, þā wǣgas geemnode, ælc cēapmann and byrgere gebunden mid trēowe.
On stormigum nihte stefn þæs Pāpan ārīseþ ofer þone wind. Þæs temples wāgas behealdiaþ þone corn þe on binnum is gehealden ongean hungor. Ān blācern birneþ lēase, his ele geþrycced of þām ilcan rīpe þe þā binnas fylleþ. On þissum stilnesse se corn stent swā māþþum and swā lārēow: þurhwuniende, ēadmōd, gemanigfealdod mid care. His færeld of molde tō sǣde, of rīpe tō heorþe, is self þegnung, ymbhweorf būtan ende, geedlǣht on þām cǣgum þe of handa tō handa gāþ.
Tōniht sum man mæg hlāf bacan of melwe þe mid handa is gemalen, and þæs cornes spell under fingrum gefēlan. Ōþer mæg lȳtelne mealt of drīgum stelum bregdan, and cræft weorþian yldran þonne gemynd. Æt ǣfenne man mæg dǣl þæs rīpes for nēahgebūr āsettan, stille dǣd þurhwununge. On þǣre stilnesse ǣr slǣpe, heald handful cornes, and lǣt his wihte þē gemunan geþyld, eorþan, and þegnung.
