Ān strica ceorfþ þone heofon, þā niht mid þunores hrēame tōclīefende. Stān bifþ, and sum þing hwīlum hēah and still ongynþ feallan. On stīpeles hēafde sæt cynehelm, nū niþer āworpen þæt ealle magon gesēon þæt hē tōm is. Lēoht flōwþ þā windendan stægeras and þā gehȳddan cofa, dīeglu tōstencende þe on þēostrum wǣron gehēapod. Hit is sēo tīd þonne þæt belocene bīt tō bēonne cūþ, and sēo woruld ūte on þæt broc iernþ.
Hēr, on ealdum ceastrum þǣr stīpelas ofer orceardas and dūstige wegas ārīsaþ, bīoþ þā feldas begeondan mid hærfeste on fȳre. On landum þǣr sēo sunne lāg hlinþ, berstaþ þā grāfas mid wæstme, þūsend lēohtfatu on winde bifigende, persimon on nacodum bōgum clifiende, hiera hȳda mid latostum ǣfenlēohte onlīhte. Þæt folc gaderaþ hīe on healmwindlas and lāmbollan, fingra rūhnes rēnes gemynd āstrīcende. On cēapstōwum drȳgiaþ piporas on strengum, slāwe cyrlende on smocan þe of hrēosendum stānofnum drīfþ. Ǣlc codd hæfþ hātne spearca inne, warnung and behāt.
On grunde þæs forwordenan stīpeles is se grund mid brȳtsenum bestrewed, croccsceardum and glēdstricum tiglum of ealdum ofnum. On ofnes mȳþe is hit hēr þæt lām mid lige biþ gehweorfed, hwīlum sōft and still, nū hringende þonne hē biþ geslegen. Se croccwyrhta ne mæg inne gesēon þonne sēo duru belocen is, būtan getrēowende þæt sēo hǣtu ætīewe hwelc hīew, hwelce cīnan, inne byrnaþ. Þonne se ofen biþ ontȳned, þonne āgȳt sōþ ūt mid stēame.
Þurh gearhund fērdon fērendas wēstenu þǣr se lyft scīmraþ swā sēo sunne setleþ. On þǣre tīde blæseþ se ymbhwyrft, and se wind berþ dūst and dweliende blēd of fȳrtrēowum þe on ceasterecge blōwiaþ. Hwīlum gārlīget þurh wolcnu, and rēn hwistlaþ swā hē þone byrnendan stān mēt. Se monsun bricþ þā stillnesse, niþer berende þæt þe feallan sceal. On cycenum biþ þæt ilce mægen on blice on ofne gefangen, ān pipor on pannan āleten, his scearpnesse ālȳsende tō clǣnsienne þone lyft and tō weccenne þā tungan.
Spell sprecaþ cēapmanna on seolcwege, hiera fara fylgende æfter setlsunnan hǣte, hiera seamas gefyllede mid wyrtgemangum þe hwīlum brocenne croccan on stīpeles grunde fyldon. Croces þrǣdas, seldcūþe and dēore, wǣron mid bifigendum handum gewegene, hiera stenc mid dūste ūpāstigende ǣlce tīde þe se crocca wæs ontȳned. Tācn þæt þæt gehȳdede feorr færeþ, boren on hweorfunge ōþunge.
Nū, swā se ealda cynehelm on hellum ligeþ and þā weallas hiera ealdan dīeglu ūt orþiaþ, anbīdeþ se andwearda tācnes on cycene oþþe on beorgsīde. Man mæg persimon on ǣfenne rīpan, hine ontȳnan and þā swētnesse onbyrigan þe þone hryre þurhwunode. Sum mæg drȳge piporas mid mortare and pilestæfe grindan, þæt fȳr þe binnan wæs belocen ālȳsende, oþþe þone heorþ feormian and ofnes lār gemunan, þæt būtan þurh brice mæg þæt sōþe hīew ætīewan. Fērende, þone ymbhwyrft waciende swā stormwolcnu gaderiaþ, mæg gedyrstlǣcan ūt tō stæppenne, þone lyft hweorfan and þā woruld wendan gefrēdende.
