Þā croccas sind forlæfene æt ecge þǣr þæt wæter ǣr rann, heora lippan drȳge, and þæs meres rīm heard under nihtes weardunge. Bufan is se heofon wīd and ungemōd, hwealf feorra fȳra, ac se grund healdeþ his agenne swīgan. Þis is eald cafertūn beorgtūnes, þǣr þā geþæþedan stānas healdaþ morgenes cōlnesse and healdaþ þæs dæges hǣte lange æfter sunnan setle. Nis nān dēaw tōniht.

Sume sind tōsceard, ōþre singaþ þonne se rēn fealþ. Se stāngraf is nū ānlīce wund on slīde, healf ofergrōwen mid līce and mēose, ac gemynd gewinnes and hiw weorces wuniaþ swā þā steorran bufan.
On sumum dagum crȳpþ mist ūp of dene and drȳcþ wiþ wyrtūnwāg, swā þicce þæt þū mihtest morgen for ǣfen misrǣdan. Se cēolrēc forlīest hine selfne on þissum wedre, and þā sceap, wull slīpor and gelāpod mid ealdum lāme, standaþ æt feldes ecge. Heora bellan biþ gedēafode, heora līchaman ānfealde hiw on wendendum lēohte. On foreweardum lenctene woldon yldran gaderian tō reccenne spell on cycene, stefnum niþrum be ofne þǣr se stēaw sēoþ on īsenum crocce. Hlāf resteþ on hēafodstāne tigelstānes, āseted tō cōlianne, and se butersæx, gesmēþod mid gēara brūce, biþ gesett be him.
