Ic eom wunderlicu wiht—wræsne mine stefne: | I am a wondrous creature—I vary my voice; |
hwilum beorce swa hund, | sometimes I bark like a dog, |
hwilum blæte swa gat, | sometimes I bleat like a goat, |
hwilum græde swa gos, | sometimes I cry like a goose, |
hwilum gielle swa hafoc. | sometimes I shriek like a hawk. |
