Adorned with gold to the war-hero youthful,

For her origin honored, when Offa’s great palace

O’er the fallow flood by her father’s instructions

She sought on her journey, where she afterwards fully,

Famed for her virtue, her fate on the king’s-seat

Enjoyed in her lifetime, love did she hold with

The ruler of heroes, the best, it is told me,

Of all of the earthmen that oceans encompass,

Of earl-kindreds endless; hence Offa was famous

Far and widely, by gifts and by battles,
