     Ā sċyle ġeong mon wesan ġeōmormōd, heard heortan ġeþōht, swylċe habban sċeal blīþe ġebǣro, ēac þon brēostċeare, sinsorgna ġedreag sȳ æt him sylfum ġelong eal his worulde wyn, sȳ ful wīde fāh feorres folclondes, þæt mīn frēond siteð under stānhliþe, storme behrīmed, wine wēriġmōd, wætre beflōwen on drēorsele.

     May the young man always be sad-minded, stern thought of heart, also shall have blithe bearing, also with breast-sorrow, the band of great-worries would be with him all along his world’s mirth, be he fully outlawed in a far folks-land so that my lover sits under a stone cliff, frost-covered by storm, weary-minded lord, overflown by water in the dreary-hall.
