Twēgen līchaman mētaþ on midde wyrtūnes, getogene þurh hefignesse cēose þe hīe bēgen on bānum gefēlaþ. Se ealda grund under him is hnesce mid blēdum and mid gedustodre eorþan, and se geat tō þisse stōwe nis belocen ne behȳded. Sēo lyft is wearm, þurhscoten mid stence nīwes weaxunges, wæstmes, and smēþes gemyndes rēnes on stāne. Hīe standaþ under helme twēgra ealdra trēowa, and heora bōgas scildiaþ rūm þǣr āþas magon bēon gecwedene, oþþe þǣr twēgen menn forþ stæppaþ, and ǣlc cēos þone ōþerne mid clǣnum ēagum. Ymb hīe nis sēo stilnes īdelnes, ac anbīdung: stilnes ǣr worde, orþ ǣr bende.

Þisse cartan woruld edlæcþ mid stillum ordfrumum geþoftscipes, and þā þing þe hīe fyllaþ sind swā unmǣrlīc swā hīe nīedþearflīc. Hēr sitt windel on græse, mid handum of hrēode gewefen, and gefylled mid æmetum, heora scella gehnescode mid weallendum wætere, of heora rūman hȳdum ālīsede, and ācōlode on līnene. On feorrum grafum gaderiaþ hīwan þās hnutu æt wæstme, and tōsprǣdaþ hīe on brādum clāþum under þām trēowum, and lǣtaþ hīe drūgian on līþum æftermiddæges lēohte. Þās gaderunga ne sind gehrædede. Swēora giefþ croccan wæteres, mōdrige sægþ racu, sang flēot ofer þā feldas. Sēo cēos æmetena, tōdǣlende þæt sōþ of þām īdelan, is ēaþe gewinn, ac on him is cyn lufan: gearones tō begēmenne, tō dǣlenne, and tō birgenne.

Þes wyrtūn is ēac þurh stǣre gesciepen. Lange ǣr fōron cēapfēreltu of ānum sunbærnedum dene tō ōþerre, and bǣron saccas æmetena and clūdas unblǣctes muslines. Se clāþ wæs dēore for his hnescesse, āstrecced tō brydgiftum oþþe gebrocen tō bewindinge giefa lēofum. On mynstrum and on cycenum blǣcton cōcas þā æmet, and grundon hīe tō swētum oþþe þrycton hīe tō ele. Sēo dǣd blǣcunge, līþe hǣtu, wæter, geþyldig hand, hwirfþ þā hnut, and dēþ hīe hnesce and gearwe tō bēodenne, lȳtel tācn care. Nis sēo miccle gebēacnung þe geþoftscipe healdeþ, ac þās stillan lāc: clāþ swā gefealdod, handful hnutu tōgædere gebirged under openum heofone.

Þǣr sind stōwa þǣr þæt weder berþ þā ilcan hnescesse. On mildum lenctenmorgenum on Middelsǣ hlīþum cymþ se wind cōl of sǣ, and drȳgþ þone dēaw of orceardlēafum. Yrþlingas ontȳnaþ scȳfelsa and bringaþ ūt hlāf geworhtne mid grundenum æmetum, and his rinde briceþ and ætīewþ hnesce cruman innan. On hēahlandum stillaþ wegfarendas æt wegstaplum mid blācum teldum oferhangenum, and birgaþ marcipan gesciepenne on wæstman, and dǣlaþ tīd swētnesse ǣr se weg forþ gǣþ. Sēo woruld hēr biþ līþe geworht þurh smale dǣda, gemǣne smeamete, bēod gesett twām, warmþ handa þe mētaþ on stillum geþafunge.
