Alfred the Great
Iċ wilnode weorðfullīċe to libbenne þā hwīle þe iċ lifde
And æfter mīnum līfe þām mannum tō lǣfanne þe æfter mē wǣren
Mīn ġemynd on gōdum weorcum
Ælfredes wyrd wæs þæt hē wolde ġelēafan and lond bewerian
On ċildhāde wæs hē on Rome ġesended and ġemētte Pāpan
Leo Pāpa wæs on Rome
Hē Ælfred swā cyning blētsode
Sē lȳtling sċeal be his weorcum
Mǣsta ealra Engla weorþan
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe sċealt þā Norþmenn of Westseaxum drifan
Com miċel hǣþen here on Angelcynnes lond fæġere
Rægenherġes Lēodbrōca suna lǣdaþ Denisċe wīċingas
Hīe hergiaþ and bærnaþ
Englisċe ċirican and hāmas
Ac wē ne cnēowliaþ for nǣniġmenn
Būtan for þām ānum Gode
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe sċealt cristendōm wiþ hǣþenum nerian
Hǣþen here bestæl tō byrġ Cippanhamme and āscode fēohsċeatt
Miċel þæs cristnes folces ofer sæ ādrifon þā Norþmenn
Ælfred cyning ābēonn ūt
Fyrde miċelne tō beadwe
Scīrþeġnas ġewǣpniaþ hīe
And mid Ælfrede fyrdiaþ
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe sċēalt hēohcyning Angelcynnes weorþan
Nēalǣhton Eþandune, tugon hīe Dene on clǣnne feld
Wyrċaþ hīe þone sċieldweall, hungreþ Ælfredes sweorde on handa
Mymeraþ, ġif ġe ġefeallaþ
Ēower mēd ne biþ weorolde
Sē Hǣlend ġesiehþ, hē biþ mid ūs
Drīfaþ þā hundas of Westseaxum
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe brengst miċele ār ūrum Dryhtne
Hīe oferfeallaþ þone weall grimlīce æxum, mid hete gefylde
Andwlitan rēod and rēþu, lindcroda þurh þā wealdas onhwileþ
Þær wæs miċel and blōdiġ wæl
Ac oferholt Engla stemnette
Ælfred cyning mid fyrde feaht
Ġesċufon Dene of beaduwange
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe siġe nōme ofer þā wīċingas
Dene wurdon hungerbitne, ac Ælfred þām hǣþenum miltsode
Gudrom cyning Norþmanna þāra swōr āþ þæt hē fulwihte onfōn wolde
His sē cyning þær onfeng
Æt fulwihte wiþ Æþelingaīeġe
Wæs friðowǣr underwriten
Þā fōr se here of Westseaxum
Wes hāl, Ælfred cyning
Ġewieldend Dena
Þū þe lēte mihtiġe Dene fulwian
Þū lǣfdest þīn ġemynd on gōdum weorcum
And on ūrum dagum

And æfter mīnum līfe þām mannum tō lǣfanne þe æfter mē wǣren
