   • from the Story of Ahikar:

     ꙋне ты ѥ огьнемь горетии тресавицею нежели жити сь ꙁлою женою.

     une ty je ogĭnemĭ goretii tresaviceju neželi žiti sĭ zloju ženoju.

     It is better to be shivering from being set on fire, than to be living together with a wicked woman.

   • Excerpt from the Story of Boris and Gleb, line 37:

     Уне бы ми съ тобою умрети, неже уединену и усирену отъ тебе въ семь житꙇи пожити.

     Une by mi sŭ toboju umreti, neže ujedinenu i usirenu otŭ tebe vŭ semĭ žitii požiti.

     It would have been preferable for me to die with you, and not to live out this life bereft of you and orphaned.
