Verse Early Saxon
Nu sculon herigean heofonrices weard,
meotodes meahte and his modgeþanc,
weorc wuldorfæder, swa he wundra gehwæs,
ece drihten, or onstealde.

He ærest sceop eorðan bearnum
heofon to hrofe, halig scyppend;
þa middangeard moncynnes weard,
ece drihten, æfter teode
firum foldan, frea ælmihtig
Dannnnng it's so hard to pronounce the r's in "eorthan" and in "weorc wuldorfaeder." UGHH XD

Thanks for the post. It's been a life saver. Rolling those Rs is a trick though.
