The Funeral Of Théodred (Known As Lament For Théodred)
David Salo / Philippa Boyens
Nu on þeostrum licgeð Þeodred se leofa
hæleða holdost. Ne sceal hearpan sweg
wigend weccean; ne winfæt gylden
guma sceal healdan, ne god hafoc
geond sæl swingan, ne se swifta mearh
burhstede beatan. Bealocwealm hafað
freone frecan forð onsended.
Giedd sculon singan gleomenn sorgiende
on Meduselde þæt he manna wære
His dryhtne dierest and maga deorost.
