     Forþon cnyssað nū heortan ġeþōhtas, þæt iċ hēan strēamas, sealtȳþa ġelāc sylf cunniġe; monað mōdes lust mǣla ġehwylċe ferð tō fēran, þæt iċ feor heonan elþēodiġra eard ġesēċe.

     Thus, thoughts are now striking heart so that I know high streams, the tossing of the salt waves myself; the mind’s wish of each times goads soul to fare so that I hence would seek a far land of overseas folks.
