| Eh byþ for eorlum æþelinga ƿyn, hors hofum ƿlanc, ðær him hæleþ ymb[e] ƿelege on ƿicgum ƿrixlaþ spræce and biþ unstyllum æfre frofur. |
The horse is a joy to princes in the presence of warriors. A steed in the pride of its hoofs, when rich men on horseback bandy words about it; and it is ever a source of comfort to the restless. |
