iddle 81

Nis min sele swige,    ne ic sylfa hlud

 

Shunning silence, my house is loud

 

ymb [ . . . . .];    unc dryhten scop

 

While I am quiet: we are movement bound

 

siþ ætsomne.    Ic eom swiftre þonne he,

 

By the Shaper's will. I am swifter,

 

þragum strengra,    he þreohtigra.

 

Sometimes stronger--he is longer lasting,

 

Hwilum ic me reste;    he sceal rinnan forð.

5

Harder running. Sometimes I rest

5

Ic him in wunige    a þenden ic lifge;

 

While he rolls on. He is the house

 

gif wit unc gedælað,     me bið deað witod.

 

That holds me living--alone I die.
