Wrætlic is þes wealstan; wyrde gebræcon, burgstede burston, brosnað enta
geweorc. Hrofas sind gehrorene, hreorge torras, hrungeat berofen,
            hrim on lime, scearde scurbeorge scorene, gedorene, aeldo
undereotone.                   Eorðgrop hafað waldendwyrhtan,
forweorone, geleorene heard gripe hrusan,                   oþ hund cnea
werþeoda gewitan. Oft þæs wag gebad, ræghar and readfah,
  rice  æfter oþrum, ofstondem under stormum; steap geap gedreas ....

Cheers,
Carl
