Forþ hii wende alle; to vortiger his halle.

100 Bed weren i scrud; and bet weren ived.

Hengestes sweines; þane vortiger his cnihtes.

Bruttes weren sori; for þan ilke sihte.

Nas noht longe; þat ne come tẏdinge.

þat þo forþ rihtes icomen were þe peutes.

Oueral þin lond hii erneþ; and sleaþ þin folk and bearneþ.

and alle þane norþ ende; hii falleþ to þan grunde.

110 her of þou most reade; oþer alle we beoþ deade.

Þe king sende his sonde; to þeos cnihtes hinne.
