Þe knithes speken þer-of alle,
Godrich hears the knights talking of it.
So that Godrich it herde wel
Þe[r] speken of hauelok, eueri del,
Hw he was strong man and hey,
Hw he was strong and ek fri,
And þouthte godrich, “þoru þis knaue
Shal ich engelond al haue,
And mi sone after me;
For so i wile þat it be.
