Verse Indeterminate Saxon

: Mec on þissum dagum      deadne ofgeafun
fæder ond modor;      ne wæs me feorh þa gen,
ealdor in innan.      þa mec an ongon,
welhold mege,      wedum þeccan,
5: heold ond freoþode,      hleosceorpe wrah
swa arlice      swa hire agen bearn,
oþþæt ic under sceate,      swa min gesceapu wæron,
ungesibbum wearð      eacen gæste.
Mec seo friþe mæg      fedde siþþan,
10: oþþæt ic aweox,      widdor meahte
siþas asettan.      Heo hæfde swæsra þy læs
suna ond dohtra,      þy heo swa dyde.
