     Þæt sē mon ne wāt þe him on foldan fæġrost limpeð, hū iċ earmċeariġ īsċealdne sǣ winter wunade wræċċan lāstum, winemǣgum bidroren, bihongen hrīmġiċelum; hæġl sċūrum flēag.

     The man does not know that who befalls most fairly on land, how wretched I dwelt winter on ice-cold sea by outcast’s paths, bereft of kinsmen, behung with frost-icicles; hail flew by showers.
