12 Ys hyra muðes scyld manworda feala, ða hi mid welerum wraðe aspræcan; wærun hi on oferhygde ealle gescende, þa hi on lige lange feredon;
Þonne se unrihtwisa ofermodegað, þonne byð se earma ðearfa onæled and gedrefed and eac geunrotsod - ac weorðon þa unrihtwisan gefangene on þam geþohtum þe hi geþoht habbað -
His muð byð symle full wyrignessa and bitera worda and facnes and searuwa, and under his tungan byð ealne weg oþera manna sar and geswinc.
Gyld nu gramhydigum, swa hi geearnedan, on sceat hiora seofonfealde wrace, for þon hi edwit on þe ealle hæfdon.
