Bēod stent on midde rūmes, wērig tōstencedra tōla: pestel gesmēþod þurh gēar grindunge, ādimmod candelstæf, eald trēowwyrhtan scafa þe ǣr scōp bēamas tō cotlife nū forlorenum tīde, and woriende stocc carta, heora andwlitan ādimmode þurh unārīmedum handum. Þæs Drȳs behāt, þonne hē riht stent, is ætīewednes cræftes and willan, stōw þǣr þæt riht tōl mēt þæt riht weorc. Ymbhwyrfed, lōsiaþ þā reglu. Se mortere grint nā wyrta ac dīegolnessa.

Þis is woruld scōrsweoperes, smiþes on smiþþan æt dæges ende, handum gemearcodum þurh lāfe heora cræftes. Þās sind þā hrōf under heofone brōciendum mid lāgum wolcnum, horizont āblunnen swā sēo mearc betwēonan dæge and ǣfen. On norþernum mōrum weriaþ þā stānweallas, gebēatene þurh gēarhund rēnes, þone ilcan hrægl swā þǣre byrig lanas æfter rēnscūre þonne þā stānhīw slipore sind and se mist slincþ of wæterþēotum. On stǣre slīdeþ se listiga lotwrenc þurh þās lanas, his roc gemengd intō gaderiendum miste, poccum gefylledum mid oddum and endum dæghwāmlices galdres: þimle, cǣge, mynete gedrēodum flætlīce þurh þā rād.

Wegfarendas būgaþ heora eaxla, bōtum geclæmdum mid wegdūste, handum bedyfdum on poccum. Þæs dæges galdor plegaþ stillīce: þæs rādþegnes hætt āwended, þǣre sēamestran pincusen on earm setles, tēacuppe læft ācōliende on syll. Ǣlc þing hielt racu, ac on þissum lēohte sind þā racan healf gesægd, þā endas gehwisprode under orþe.
Tō gānne on þissum wedre is tō leornienne geþyld, tō scyrpenne þīn andgiet smælre styrenesse. Þū meaht glēman þone ealdan cetel and sceawian þone rūm swimman on his brerde, oþþe carfullīce elian heorras duru þe fæst wæs gēarum.

Gif þū gefēlst lot on þæs dæges þingum, cunn wrixlian þā þing on þīnre wrītbrede, wrixla þone blæchorn wiþ þām papirhefignesse, and sēoh hwilc geþōhtas bēon ūt getihte of behȳdinge.
