Noble King


ehæl cyning læteþ burg scríðan,
Wyrd oft nereð unfægne eorl
Scúrheard scearp, sceadu scínende.
Gástlíc græg góma, gealgtreow blíðe
Wælstowe weard, wulf on heolstre. 
Dagas sind gewitene, dreór on wícum, 
Ælla tó sliðre, eald enta geweorc.
Hlæw under hrusan, húðe hræmig, 
Wynnum gewát, wæter on mere. 
Stánceofan stede, storm on færelde, 
Isceald and unrót, æfre gemunde.
