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.
