Ne wæs mé ná þearf tó weorcstowe faran tódæg for þæm þe tódæg is sæterndæg. Ic ne tó morgen wyrce ne eac for þæm þe tó morgen is sunnandæg.
Tódæg on morgene móste ic on bedde licgan genog lange! Ic áríse gewunelíce on fíftan timan on wucudæge swá on sæterndagum and sunnandagum wierþ ic glæd on móde and on bodige!
Mín gemæcca, ongean þæt, sceolde tódæg wyrcan and swá wæs ic áne mid mínre dehter. Wæs mé wynsum mid hire wesan and plegan, héo is án swá gód and gamenlic mægden.
Nú sitte ic fóre spearctellan and gewrit wríte and beor drince. Hǽlu!
