And sone anon [upon] him funden,

Als he tirneden of his serk,

On his rith shuldre a kyne merk;

A swiþe brith, a swiþe fair:

“Goddot!” quath grim, “þis [is] ure eir

Þat shal [ben] louerd of denemark,

Grim says the lad is to be king.

He shal ben king strong and stark;

He shal hauen in his hand

A[l] denemark and engeland;
