On stillnesse æfter storme clifiaþ þā ealdan tiglas tōgædere, mid gemynde and mid getimbres heardnesse understutode. Se hryre biþ ylded, and þēah gāþ ealle þe inne sind sōfte, witende þæt hiera weallas þunor ǣr gehīerdon and hine ne forgēton.
On Tuscanie beorgum, þǣr sēo eorþe under fōtum unstill is, bǣron tūnwaran hefigesse gelīcre ungewisnesse gearhundum. Þonne rēn þā molde wǣteþ and wyrttruman þā sīdas gripaþ, gaderiaþ hīreda on cycenum mid croccum blēos gefrætwodum þe of lande selfum is gegrunden. Dūst of feorrum fȳrbeddum, þrungen and āsift, fint his stōwe be mortare and pilestæfe, gearu tō weorþenne blēo oþþe lyb, lāf eorþan þe handa and mōd fæstnaþ þurh lange tīda. On weorcstede grindaþ cræftigan þæt grēate andefn tō dūste, hīe hit mengaþ mid wætere oþþe ele, and hīe strīcaþ hit on wēofodtæflum and on hrofum.

On sumum stōwum felga, on ōþrum nīwlīce gehwerfede, sind þās eorþtæppan ædra cēapes þe cneorda fēdde and hūsode. Croccwyrhtan cneddaþ þā ilcan molde under folmum, bollan scieppende strange genōg tō þolianne grundes hweorfung and clatrung ungewisra mēteta.
