Mec on þissum dagum deadne ofgeafun
faeder ond modor; ne waes me feorh þa gen,
ealdor in innan. þa mec an ongon,
welhold mege, wedum þeccan,
heold ond freoþode, hleosceorpe wrah
swa arlice swa hire agen bearn,
oþþaet ic under sceate, swa min gesceapu waeron,
ungesibbum wear├░ eacen gaeste.
Mec seo friþe maeg fedde siþþan,

siþas asettan. Heo haefde swaesra þy laes
suna ond dohtra, þy heo swa dyde.
