Verse Indeterminate Saxon
þu eart wracena god, and þu miht wrecan

Ahefe þe on ellen, eorþan dema,

ne þæt Iacobes god ongitan cuðe.
Onfindað þæt and ongeotað

And him eagena gesyhð eallum sealde
and he scearpe ne mæge gesceawian?
And se þe ege healdeð eallum þeodum,
and his þrea ne si þær for awiht,
25
se þe men læreð micelne wisdom?
