iddle 67

Wiht is wrætlic     þam þe hyre wisan ne conn:

 

She shapes for her listeners a haunting sound

 

singeð þurh sidan.    Is se sweora woh,

 

Who sings through her sides. Her neck is round

 

orþoncum geworht;    hafaþ eaxle tua

 

And delicately shaped; on her shoulders draped,

 

scearp on gescyldrum.     His gesceapo [ . . .]

 

Beautiful jewels. Her fate is strange
