æfensceop
L. Harris
Ic þurh muþ sprece mongum reordum
wrencum singe, wrixle geneahhe
heafodwoþe, hlude cirme
healde mine wisan, hleoþre ne miþe,
eald æfensceop, eorlum bringe
blisse in burgum, þonne ic bugendre
stefne styrme; stille on wicum
sittað nigende. Saga hwæt ic hatte,
þe swa scirenige sceawendwisan
hlude onhyrge, hæleþum bodige
wilcumena fela woþe minre.
