Þǣre cartan micla hwēol, ǣr hēah stīgende, swincþ nū niþer, hefig mid gefēle ymbhwyrftes þe wile bīdan. Se ealda rima slāwaþ, nā of mægne gelimpes, ac of handa þe drȳcþ tō stillenne hine, swā hēo wyrd be þām spācan fō ǣr sēo hweorfung gefylled sīe. Þā anlīcnessa āgrafene andlang his ecge, nīetenu, gecynde and bīdende, healdaþ heora orþ. Dūst gaderaþ æt þǣre eaxe, tācn tīda forgānra and anbīdunge þæs þe cymþ. Under is se grund nāþer welig ne bær, ac sum þing gewērod mid unārīmedum fōtum: swaþu þe ǣlcne gang and ǣlcne ætstent geman.
On stǣre ofergān fyrda land, nā on þām ofermōdum gefeohtstōwum spelles ac andlang endelēasra wega þe heard and flæt betrēdene wǣron. Þā menn wǣron trumne clāþ, clāþ geweofen tō þegnunge, dǣdlic and lēoht, edlǣcende þā eorþan þe hīe fōron. Þonne rēn on heora wīcbeddum fēoll, sēodon geteldu and hrægl þone storm, and drūgodon tō gemēþgodre mēþnesse. On geþrungenum ceapstōwum feorra hyþa gecuron cēapmenn brēc corfene of þām ilcan clāþe, þurhwunigende and līþe þurh sunnan and dūst. Sēamwyrhtan smēþodon hine ofer heora cnēowum, ceorfende hīw nīwes weorchyrstles þā hwīle þe nōnwind þā scyttelsas hryste.
Hwǣr feorr fram þǣre burge stent geong hwǣtefeld gearu tō bīgenne on untīdlicum winde. Se hærfest nis nā gȳt gecīged, and þā hēafdu cornes hnigaþ hidres and þideres mid geþylde gelīcre þām slāwhweorfendan hwēole. Ēac inne, on dimmum lēohte hordbēoda, restaþ seccas melwes swā, heora brerdas āstricene mid handum þe rēcet þæs dæges āmǣten habbaþ. On wyrtūnum oþþe hecgum clīfaþ āfēorod gærs tō ende lenctenes, and giefaþ sǣd and hleow nīetenum þe under iernaþ. On þām hēagan, stillan lyfte bufan þǣre wēstene wunaþ hwīlum dēore æfter storme: sēo woruld þyncþ mēþre, swā se heofon self bewunden wǣre on ealdum, wel gewērodum hrægle.
Wȳsc ārīst mid willan tō ætstentenne þone hweorfendan ymbhwyrft, tō healdenne þā tīd trumne swā nān þing forloren sīe. And þēah ne mæg þæt hwēol ā bēon gehealden. His hefignes and his andgiet drȳcaþ tō styrenesse, swā līþe swā sēo hand wiþstande. On þissum anbīdunge mæg mann wendan tō swāpenne þone flōr, gaderiende þæt þe on þām hyrnum gegaderod is. Mann mæg līnenne sacc mid bōcum fyllan and gān tō stillum bence, oþþe syrcan bētan þe manige tīda geseah. Oþþe, standende æt hordern, mihte hē hlāf cnēdan, þæt meludūst ārīsende swā gemynd ǣlces færeldes and edcieres.
Frōfor is on þingum þe þurhwuniaþ: on feldum þe hnigaþ ac ne brecaþ, on clāþe gescapenum mid manigum handum, on stillum swēge feorres rēnes. Gelimp þisses dæges biþ gefunden nā on þǣre hweorfunge, ac on þǣre anbīdunge, hefignes ānrer tīde, cūþ swā clāþ and eald swā se weg under fōtum.
