ælfredes wyrd wæs þæt hē wolde ġelēafan and lond bewerian
on ċildhāde wæs hē on rome ġesended and ġemētte pāpan

leo pāpa wæs on rome, hē ælfred swā cyning blētsode
sē lȳtling sċeal be his weorcum mǣsta ealra engla weorþan

wes hāl, ælfred cyning, ġewieldend dena!
þū þe sċealt þā norþmenn of westseaxum drīfan!

com miċel hǣþen here on angelcynnes lond fæġere
rægenhеrġes lēodbrōca suna lǣdaþ denisċe wīċingas

hīе hergiaþ and bærnaþ englisċe ċirican and hāmas
ac wē ne cnēowliaþ for nānum menn, būtan for þām ānum gode!

wes hāl, ælfred cyning, ġewieldend dena!
þū þe sċealt cristendōm wiþ hǣþenum nerian!

hǣþen here bestæl tō byrġ cippanhamme and āscode fēohsċeatt
miċel þæs cristnes folces ofer sæ ādrifon þā norþmenn

ælfred cyning ābēonn ūt fyrde miċele tō beadwe
scīrþeġnas ġewǣpniaþ hīe and mid ælfrede fyrdiaþ

wes hāl, ælfred cyning, ġewieldend dena!
þū þe sċēalt hēohcyning angelcynnes weorþan!
nēalǣhton eþandune, tugon hīe dene on clǣnne feld
wyrċaþ hīe þone sċieldweall, hungreþ ælfredes sweorde on handa

“mymeraþ ġif ġe ġefeallaþ, ēower mēd ne biþ weorolde!
sē hǣlend ġesiehþ and hē biþ mid ūs! drīfaþ þā hundas of westseaxum!”

wes hāl, ælfred cyning, ġewieldend dena!
þū þe brengst miċele ār ūrum dryhtne!

hīe oferfeallaþ þone weall grimlīce æxum, mid hete gefylde
andwlitan rēod and rēþu, lindcroda þurh þā wealdas onhwileþ

þær wæs miċel and blōdiġ wæl ac oferholt engla stemnette
ælfred cyning mid fyrde feaht, ġesċufon dene of beaduw*nge!

wes hāl, ælfred cyning! ġewieldend dena!
þū þe siġe nōme ofer þā wīċingas!

dene wurdon hungerbitne, ac ælfred þām hǣþenum miltsode
gudrom cyning norþmanna þāra swōr āþ þæt hē fulwihte onfōn wolde

his sē cyning þær onfeng æt fulwihte wiþ æþelingaīeġe
wæs friðowǣr underwriten, þā fōr sē here of westseaxum

wes hāl, ælfred cyning! ġewieldend dena! þū þe lēte mihtiġe dene fulwian!
þū lǣfdest þīn ġemynd on gōdum weorcum and on ūrum dagum hǣtst þū miċela
