_Reign of Henry I, 1135 to 1100 .-- Part of an Anglo-Saxon Hymn_.
"Heuene & erthe & all that is, Biloken is on his honde.
He deth al that his wille is, On sea and ec on londe.
He is orde albuten orde.
And ende albuten ende.
He one is eure on eche stede, Wende wer thu wende.
He is buuen us and binethen, Biuoren and ec bihind.
Se man that Godes wille deth, He mai hine aihwar uinde.
Eche rune he iherth, And wot eche dede.
He durh sighth eches ithanc, Wai hwat sel us to rede.
Se man neure nele don god, Ne neure god lif leden, Er deth & dom come to his dure, He mai him sore adreden.
Hunger & thurst, hete & chele, Ecthe and all unhelthe, Durh deth com on this midelard, And other uniselthe.
Ne mai non herte hit ithenche, Ne no tunge telle, Hu muchele pinum and hu uele, Bieth inne helle.
Louie God mid ure hierte, And mid all ure mihte, And ure emcristene swo us self, Swo us lereth drihte." ANON.: _Johnson's Hist.Eng.
