Singað samheorte sangas drihtne

and on psalterio singað georne.
Forðon on his folce is fægere drihtne
wel licendlic, and he wynlice
þam manþwærum syleð mære

beoð on heora husum bliðe gedreme.
Him on gomum bið godes oft gemynd;

and sweord habbaþ swylce on folmum.
Mid þy hi wrecan þenceað wraðum

25
and þæt mid wuldre awriten stande:
þis is haligra wuldor her on
eorðan.
