Hroþa hæfþ cwice hand
Lóciende ymbe rúm, nile tellan þé his ræd
Hé hæfþ smocapípan fulne, hómde út múþe, biþ án wilde cniht
Hé fand Írisc-worht bogan
On hises fæder ciste diernan on arce þinga,
Ic ne gíet cnáwe hwæt
hé is cumende for þé, hé is cumende for þé ġéa
Eall þá óþer cild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen fram minum earhum
Eall þá óþer cild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen, cwicra þon mín boga
Eall þá óþer cild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen fram minum earhum
Eall þá óþer cild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen, cwicra þonne mín boga
Ætta wyrcþ lange dæġe
Hé is cumende hám late, hé is cumende hám late
And hé is bringende mé wundor-ġife
For þenung is on cyċenan baþod on íse
Ic béo wæht for lange hwíle
Ġéa sliht mínes handa biþ nú án cwic-plyced streng
Handliġe mid mínre pípan
And secge þín hǽr is on fýre, þú móst hafian losod þín witt, ġéa!
