Lim-strang wæs geboren
Bearn léod-cyninga
Magorinc Mearces
Bunden in byrde tó laedenne
Bunden in lufe tó ðegnunge
Lang beadugear cýðað
Lic onginneð búgan
Swift déadlic géar Stieppað geond willan
Ac éagan gíet lóciað Beorhtre gesihðe;
Heorte gíet béateð

(Strong-limbed he was born
This son of Kings;
This warrior of Rohan
Bound by birth to lead
Bound by love to serve
Long years of war begin to show
The body has begun to bend
Swift mortal years outpace the will
But the eyes still watch clear-sighted
The great heart is beating still)
