...     Thuo stuod erl manag,

Bâdun thô sô gerno    gôdan drohtin
antlûcan thea lêra,    that sia môstin thea liudi ford,
hêlaga hôrean.    Thô sprak im eft iro hêrro angegin,
mâri mahtig Crist:    'that is', quad he, 'mannes sunu:

that hluttra hrêncorni,    thea mi hêr hôread uuel,
uuirkiad mînan uuillean;    thius uuerold is the akkar,
thit brêda bûland    barno mancunnies;
Satanas selbo is,    that thar sâid aftar
sô lêdlîca lêra:    habad thesaro liudeo sô filu,

anttat mûdspelles    megin obar man ferid,
endi thesaro uueroldes.    Than is allaro accaro gehuilic
gerîpod an thesumu rîkea:    sculun iro regangiscapu
frummien firiho barn.    Than tefarid erda:
that is allaro beuuo brêdost;    than kumid the berhto drohtin
obana mid is engilo craftu,    endi cumad alle tesamne

ubiles endi gôdes.    Than gangad engilos godes,
hêlage hebenuuardos,    endi lesat thea hluttron man
sundor tesamne,    endi duat sie an sinscôni,
hôh himiles lioht,    endi thea ôdra an hellia grund,
uuerpad thea faruuarhton    an uuallandi fiur;
thar sculun sie gibundene    bittra logna,
thrâuuerk tholon,    endi thea ôdra thioduuelon

That is egislîcost    allaro thingo,
forhtlîcost firiho barnun,    that sie sculun uuid iro frâhon mahlien,
