"Ne ðis ne dagað eastan, ne her draca ne fleogeð,
ne her ðisse healle hornas ne byrnað. - Ac her forþ berað;fugelas singað,
gylleð græghama, guðwudu hlynneð,
scyld scefte oncwyð. - Nu scyneð þes mona
waðol under wolcnum. - Nu arisað weadæda
ðe ðisne folces nið fremman willað. - Ac onwacnigeað nu, wigend mine,
habbað eowre linda, hicgeaþ on ellen,
winnað on orde, wesað onmode!"
