Verse Early Anglian

: Nu scylun hergan      hefaenricaes uard,
metudæs maecti      end his modgidanc,
uerc uuldurfadur,      sue he uundra gihuaes,
eci dryctin,      or astelidæ.
5: He aerist scop      aelda barnum
heben til hrofe,      haleg scepen;
tha middungeard      moncynnæs uard,
eci dryctin,      æfter tiadæ
firum foldu,      frea allmectig.
