Elche time sal þe man of þunche his misdade
Oðer raðer oðer later milce he sal imete.
Ac þe þe her naueð ibet muchel he haued to bete
135 Maniman seið hwo reche pine þe sal habben ende
Ne bidde ich no bet bie ich alesed a domesdai of bende.
Litel wot he `h´wat is pine ⁊ litel he cnoweð
Hwilch hit is þar sowle wunieð hwu biter wind þar bloweð.
Hadde he ben þar on oðer two bare tiden.
140 Nolde he for al midden eard þe þridde þar abiden.
Þat habbed isaid þe come þanne þit wiste mid iwisse.
