Verse Indeterminate Saxon
Mildheortnesse and dom mihtigan drihtnes
singe and secge, and soð ongyte
on unwemmum wege, hwænne þu me wylle to.
Ic mid unbealuwe ealre heortan

þurh ðin hus middan halig eode.
Ne sette ic me fore eagum yfele wisan;
ealle ic feode facnes wyrcend,
næs me wyngesið wiðerweard

Ic awyrgde fram me wende and cyrde;
10
nolde ic hiora andgit ænig habban,

wið heora þam nehstan nið ahofan;
þara ic ehte ealra mid niðe.
Oferhydegum eagum, unsædre heortan,

nolde ic mid þæm men minne mete ðicgean.
Ofer geleaffulle eorðbugende
eagan mine georne sceawedun,
hwær ic tirfæste treowe funde,

Ne eardað on midle mines huses,

25
ealle þe unriht elne worhtan
and fyrena fela gefremed habbað;
ealle ic þa of drihtnes drife ceastre.
