Līget tōclīefþ þone heofon, ac se stīpel healt. Of his hēahstan ēagþȳrele drīfþ smoca ūt mā þonne fȳr. Þā stānas under bīoþ forbærnde ac gȳt āstapolede. Tīd hæfþ on unēaþne ætstæpp gestolod. Þæt wæferd cymþ, ac nā gȳt. Þāra wealla cīnan bīoþ mid dūste ealdes gebræddes līmes gefyllede, swilces þe gaderaþ on fealdum wāgrifta on hrofum forgitenra oþþe on græfum līmes on forlǣtenum plegrūmum. Hwīlum wǣron hēr symblu, under hroftiglum þe glitnodon mid glæse ealdes bānfætes, simle cealde tō hrīnenne. Þā bēodclāþas wǣron þicce and hefige, mid handum gewefene þe cūþon rihtne wearp and ābregd tō þurhwunienne þurh cneorda āgotenes wīnes and āworpenes hlāfes.
On wyrtūne sīft þæt lēoht niþer swā melu, þone lyft þiccende. Hit is lat morgen æfter storme. Þæt gærs is wǣt, ac þā bencu bīoþ drȳge, mid þiccum telgorhrōfum magnolie gescildode. Be ceosolwegum glitniaþ ægrscilla of hennan on healf forwordenum hūse on sunnan, gemynd stillra wīsena þe on hryres sceade þurhwunodon. Se wind stincþ blaclīce swētes hlāfes þe on cycene rīst. Sum mann bācþ gȳt, ēac swā þā cycentiglas under fōtum lāse sind.
Begeondan wyrtūnweall blæcþ þæt land on cealchyllas, beorgas mid scēapum and gearhundum windes āgrafene. Þās sind þā ilcan feldas þǣr cēapmen hwīlum mid hefigum wænum fērdon, hiera hweol cearciende under byrþennum grēates fleaxes and elpendbānsāpes. Tūnwaru þwōgon līn on ēa and hīe on gærs ūt lēdon tō drȳgenne, se clāþ swā segl on blacum winde blāwende. Se sōftesta clāþ, ofer geara scūrunga tō þynne gewered, līneþ nū þone windel þǣr cild swammum gaderaþ, carfull þæt hit þone dūstlican brærd ne styre þe hiera healmum clīfeþ.
Mȳþas gaderiaþ on þisse stōwe, swā þurhwuniende swā dūst on hyrnum. Þā ieldestan spell secgaþ þæt, æfter hryre, þæs stīpeles bān gemunan hiera hīew, swā cealcstān geman þrȳcc sǣ þe lange forswundon. Hīe secgaþ weder tō līþe þǣm tīman, stillnes æfter þunre þe swā gehealden ōþm þyncþ. On þissum bræcgum þyncþ se hryre mid þǣm lǣstum dǣdum ylded, ealdmōdor handa melu tō hlāfe sēoþende, trēowwyrhta helfe cystes eft settende þe þurh fīf hīreda wæs giefen, wyrtweard sand of scille bebyrgedre snægl āstrīcende.
Tōdæg biþ þæt wēsten gȳt stīpel gehāten. His scua wunaþ wiþ heofon, mid gearum smocan and condelsmeoru gesōftod and weorþfull gedōn, slaw gegaderung spella and dweliendra corna sugores. Inne þurhwunaþ gesundnesse gemynd, nā swā scild, ac swā hwītel, geclūtod and āblācnod, ymb eaxla þāra þe þurhwuniaþ bewunden. Þæt wæferd nis wiþsacen, ac ylded, swā sēo woruld mæge gȳt mid þrǣdum ealdes līnes, mid glæse on cuppan, mid wīsan þe sunnanlēoht on bordum gaderaþ, tōgædere bēon gehealdan.
Þū meaht hlāf tō risenne on ealdre wīsan settan, under līnclāþe þe hlāfas tīengum geara oferwrāh. Ontȳn þone hrofcyst and feorma brȳtsen bānfætes, þā hǣrlīnan mid fæstum fingre metende. Feald āblācnodne bēodclāþ and lecge hine ofer bēod, and siþþan sit be ēagþȳrele, þæt līþe lēoht on þīne handa settlan lǣtende. Oþþe gā on wyrtūne æfter rēne, ægru on windle gaderiende þe mid sōftestan hīredes clāþe is gefōdrod, carfull þæt þū þone morgen ne hræde.
