ðu haues ðe sorges sigðhe waked.
Thou hast for thyself a sight of sorrow roused.
sigðhe = sight, but if it be an error for siðhe it will signify adversity, mishap. [362] ut luken = shut out. [363] tilen ði mete[n] = earn thy food. tilen (till), earn, procure.
"Ne maig he tilen him non fode."
He is not able to procure food for himself.
(O.E. Miscell. p. 3.)
[364] wid = wið, with. swotes teres = tears of sweat, i. e. drops of sweat. We may, however, by spoiling the metre, read swotes & teres, for in O.E. writers swot is frequently used in the singular and makes the plural swotes.
Til gu beas eft into erðe cumen,
Till thou art again into earth come.
