    • 10th century, The Wanderer:
      Oft him ānhaga ·  āre gebīdeð,
      Metudes miltse, · þēah þe hē mōdċeariġ
      ġeond lagulāde · longe sċeolde
      hrēran mid hondum · hrīmċealde sǣ,
      wadan wræclāstas. · Wyrd bið ful ārǣd.
      A loner oft waits a grace for himself,
      Creator's mercy, even if he is sorrowful,
      through a sea-way he should for long
      stir the frost-cold sea with hands,
      travel paths of exile. Fate is well stalwart.
