Twēgen standaþ æt ecge wyrtūnes on þām ǣrestan lēohte, and stilnes betwēonan him þā hwīle þe sēo woruld bīdeþ. Þǣr is trēow hefig mid wæstme, weg windende þurh wilde goldblōstman, and sēo stilnes nis æfwesennes ac miht. Heora handa strīcaþ swā hīe tōgædere stæppaþ, gȳt ungefēgede, gȳt untodǣlede. Se grund is hnesce þǣr dēaw gȳt clifaþ, and þæs wyrtūnes lyft berþ gemynd þæs þe plantod is and þæs þe weaxan sceal. Ǣlc cēos is edlǣcung. Sum þing onginnþ on þǣre tīde þe hīe lociaþ tō ōþrum and dōmaþ: nā wyrd, ac þæt slāwe weorc cēosannes, se geþafa on ǣlcere gebēacnunge, on ǣlcum worde.
On ealdum ēam sēaton menn þurh dūst and sand æfter scimere, gedrifene þurh behāt þæs þe mihte bēon gesciepen on cynehelmum, on mynetum, oþþe on brydbēagum gedrēodum mid tācnum hīredes hūses. Cyningas sendon fēreltu tō muntum æfter him, þǣr sunnanlēoht slōg stānas and āddran þrǣddon þurh stān, earfoþe tō rǣcenne, unmihtelīc tō forgietenne. Ǣr, on byrig feorr fram þǣre ēa, cnyssede cræftiga smælne lēaf of þām dēoran metalle and sette hine on clemman lēofes hrægles. Se clemma næs frætwe ānum. Hē wæs insegl, behāt geboren nēah, þing gefylled mid hefignesse and mid behāte.
On frēolsmorgenum on feorrum landum wendaþ bæceras dāh on swēte hringas and bestrīcaþ hīe mid smælre lāce huniges, and strēawiaþ saffranþrǣdas swā þæt ǣlc hlāf fēhþ þæt lēoht. Þās hlāfas baceþ man tō brydgiftum oþþe tō frēolsdagum hālgena þe geþoftscipes wacedon. Æt bēode brecaþ twēgen menn þone hlāf tōgædere, and ǣlc tēah snæd tō bēodenne þām ōþrum. Se þēaw bint hīe, behāt tō dǣlenne ǣgþer hungor and geniht. Þæs bæceres hand gemyneþ ealdra behāta, edlǣcunge cnedunge and sciepinge, þæs gefēan þæs þe fæger of gewunelicum corne rīseþ.
Æt nōn on hēahlandum mæg sēo sunne þyncan unāblinnendlīc, and bēatan oþ þā feldas scimeriaþ. On þām tīdum hlīniaþ hyrdas on heora stafum and sceawiaþ swā þā scēap gaderiaþ on helme acaciantrēowes. Sēo lyft is þicce, and sēo woruld slāwaþ under þām gemoltenan heofone. On þisse strengþe sculon cēosa þēah bēon geworhte: hwilc weg tō þǣm wielle, hwilc lamb tō berenne, hwilcne sceade tō dǣlenne. Sēo hǣtu drīfþ nēah, and on hire clyppinge þyncþ ēac se lǣsta dōm hefig, þing getrēowþe.
On heortan þǣre byrig bēodeþ gimwyrhta bēagas geworhte of þām ilcan andwiste þe man ǣr of ēam drēah, nū gesponnene on endlēase hringas. Cēapendas stillaþ æt ēagþȳrele, getogene tō behāte sumes þinges þe āþolaþ. Se bēag, cōl æt ǣrestre hrepunge, wearmþ wiþ þā hȳd, mynegung þæt bendas, æne gecorene, bēon ǣlce dæg ednīwode. Sēo hefignes behātes nis byrþen ac frōfor, fæst and clǣn.
Þisne morgen meaht þū bacan hlāf and swētian hine mid hunige, and bēodan þā ǣrestan snæd sumum dēorum. Þū meaht drīfan ealdne bēag on þīne folman and gemunan þā handa þe hine āgeafon. Still tō gīemenne goldblōstman on nēahgebūres tūne, oþþe dȳf mynet on frēondes folman swā stillu tācn getrēowþe. Ǣlc dǣd tēah þē nēar þām þe mæg, þæt anginn gefunden on þǣre cēose.
