Lic onginneth búgan.

The body has begun to bend.

Swift déadlic géar Stieppath geond willan.

Swift mortal years outpace the will.

Ac éagan gíet lóciath Beorhtre gesihthe;

But the eyes still watch clear-sighted.

Heorte gíet béateth.

The great heart is beating still.

In the distance they saw him,

And hwíte sunnan in mane

White sun caught in his mane.

Long they called him,

Ac hé ne wolde cuman

But he would not come.

For thon hé waes Sceadufæx 3

for he was Shadowfax,

Hláford ealra méara

Lord of all Horses.

And hé ne andswarode bútan ánne.

And he answered only to one.
