Oft mec fæste bileac freolicu meowle,
ides on earce, hwilum up ateah
folmum sinum ond frean sealde,
holdum þeodne, swa hio haten wæs.
5 Siðþan me on hreþre heafod sticade,
nioþan upweardne, on nearo fegde.
Gif þæs ondfengan ellen dohte,
mec frætwedne fyllan sceolde
ruwes nathwæt. Ræd hwæt ic mæne.
Često bi me zakjučala gospa divna,
Šjora u kašun kadagod me izvadila
Rukaman svojin i dala šjoru
Virnom jubjenon kad bi o’ nje zatražija.
On bi onda u srid mene glavu stavija
Od doli prema gori u tisno misto.
Ako bi snaga junaka dostatna bila,
Mene bi napituranu ispunilo cilu
Kosmato neč. Nu veli ča mislin.
