Se mere biþ gemearcod mid drȳgum grunde. Sēo lamecge is swīge. Giestrandæges wæterlīne forlǣt blācne hring, and þæs heofones scīma ligeþ gedēafod. Þā twēgen croccas biþ gesette niþer, līþelīce on sīde ātynede, ungenumene. Hīe restaþ on swīgan æfter strēame, for nū nis nān hand tō gēotenne, nān lȳtel strēam mearcigende pæþ eft tō þǣre þyrstigan molde. Þā steorran bīdaþ bufan, ungewende, ac sēo eorþe hine underbæc tēah, brȳsne þǣr hēo ǣr glit mid behāte.
Sēo stōw þe þone ealdan naman Siena berþ sitt on hrycge on Tuscanie. Hire beorgas biþ gelaegode mid eorþan dulfene and gescēapene manig hund gēara, eorþe gebæcen mid sunnan and winde, gemenged mid hrēawe, gedrȳcned on tigelum, and gebræd on tūnofnum. On mētera tīde sceafton cræftigan sumne moldan, smælne, dustigne, þicce mid īserne, of ēarīmum, grindende hine tō duste.

Hit is blēo geworht of geþyldigre wederunge stānes and geweorce handa þe sīftaþ and cnēdaþ, þe grindaþ and gemengaþ, þe spell ālōciaþ of swīgre eorþan.
On cycenbēode is se lamcrocc āseted on sīde. His rūhnes gedafenaþ þǣre handa, healdende gemynd fȳres and drȳcces lames betwēonan fingrum. Hlāf rīst wiþ his wāgas, and þonne se ofen cōlaþ and se dæg niht biþ, sitt se crocc īdel, bīdende þā nīehstan nēod.

On feldum būtan Siena mearciaþ erode rǣwa þæt land, gefurhode æfter gaderunge. Dust āstīhþ þonne se wind wendeþ, hweorfende eft tō æcerhūse. Se grund is bær, wyrttruman ealdes cornes onwrigene, and se orrīma biþ gestrīcod mid gemynde gewinnes. Þis is tīd bīdunge, sēo ābīdung ǣr rēne.
