Offa weold Ongle

 



Offa weold Ongle,

     Alewih Denum;

se wæs þara manna

     modgast ealra,

no hwæþre he ofer Offan

     eorlscype fremede,

ac Offa geslog

     ærest monna,

cnihtwesende,

     cynerica mæst.


Offa ruled the Angles,

     Alewih the Danes;

he was among all men;

     the bravest,

but was not braver than Offa,

     because the noble

Offa conquered,

     before he was a man,

in battle

     most of his kingdom.


Widsith, 35-39
