Se Mōna

Under ungewissum mōnan is ān dǣl þæs weges gesewen betwēonan twām stillum stīpelum. Sēo woruld forlīest hire scearpnesse, and þū meaht getrīewan þām þe gehende is.

Se hund beorcaþ for þām cūþan, and se wulf styreþ for þām wildan þe nā gȳt næfþ naman. Þā mearce standaþ, and þēah se weg bitt þē gān forþ mid unfullum andgiete. Se Mōna lǣrþ getrīewan þām gefēle, þā hwīle þe þā sōþ sind gehȳded.

Tōdæg gā þone weg þe þū gesiehst. Oncnāw þīne ungewisnesse, and ne nīed þā woruld þæt hēo eall ætīewe. Se nīehsta gesewena stæpe is genōg.

Se weg biþ bewrigen mid miste, oþþe ǣlc sceadu þyncþ egeslīc, and biþ geworht of ymbhȳdgum geþance. Þonne se Mōna biþ onwend, sēo ungewissnes wexþ tō gedwolan. Þæt uncūþe wierþ plegstōw þāra ega.

Þū misrǣtst þā gefēl, oþþe þū oferhīerst hīe, and gǣst of þām fæstan grunde. Oþþe þū nīedst beorhtnesse mid hrædum dōme, and þā andswara ne gedafenaþ þām þe is gȳt dīegol.

Tōdæg ne læt þone ege þā race wrītan. Getrīewe þām ānum þe þū nū gesiehst. Gā stæpmǣlum, and ne bīd mā þonne sēo niht openlīce giefþ.
