   • 10th century, The Wanderer:

     wlonc bī wealle. · Sume wīġ fornōm,
     ferede in forðweġe; · sumne fugel ōþbær
     ofer hēanne holm; · sumne sē hāra wulf
     dēaðe ġedǣlde, · sumne drēoriġhlēor
     in eorðsċræfe · eorl ġehȳdde.

     proud by the wall. The war took away some men,
     carried into the forth-way; a bird bore away someone
     over deep sea; the grey wolf shared someone with death;
     a sad-faced warrior hid someone in earthen cave.
