Sē fērde on his iugoðefram his frēondum and māgum tō Scotlande on sǣ, and þǣr sōna wearð gefullod, and his gefēran samod þe mid him sīþedon. Betwux þām wearð ofslagen Ēadwine his ēam, Norðhymbra cynincg, on Crīst gelȳfed, fram Brytta cyninge, Ceadwalla gecīged, and wēgen his æftergengan binnan twām gēarum; and sē Ceadwalla slōh ad tō sceame tūcode þā Norðhymbran lēode æfter heora hlāfordes fylle, oðe þæt Ōswold sē ēadiga his yfelnysse ādwǣscte. Ōswold him cōm tō, and him cēnlīce wið feaht mid lȳtlum weode, ac his gelēafa hine getrymde, and Crīst him gefylste tō his fēonda slege. Ōswold þā ārǣrde āne rōde sōna Gode tō worðmynte, ǣr þan þe hē tō ðām gewinne cōme, and clypode tō his gefērum, 'Uton feallan tō ðǣre rōde, and þone Ælmihtigan biddan þæt hē ūs āhredde wið þone mōdigan fēond þe ūs āfyllan wile.

Сатирическая поэма “The Land of Cokaygne”
1] Fur in see bi west Spayngne
Is a lond ihote Cokaygne.
Ther nis lond vnder heuen riche
Of wel, of godnis hit iliche.
5] Thogh Paradis be miri and bright,
Cokaygn is of fairir sight.
What is ther in Paradis
Bot grasse and flure and grene ris?
Thogh ther be joi and gret dute,
10] Ther nis met bote frute;
Ther nis halle, bure no benche,
Bot watir man is thursto quenche.
Beth ther no men bot two,
Hely and Enok also;
