THE KING
text by PHILIPPA BOYENS, translation by DAVID SALO
( OLD ENGLISH )

Lim-strang w?s geboren
Bearn leod-cyninga
Magorinc Mearces.
Bunden in byrde
To l?denne
Bunden in lufe
To thegnunge

(( Strong-limbed was he born
The son of kings
The warrior of Rohan.
Bound by birth
To lead.
Bound by love
To serve. ))

Lang beadugear cyythath
Lic onginneth bugan
Swift deadlic gear
Stieppath geond willan
Ac eagan giet lociath
Beorhtre gesihthe;
Heorte giet beateth.

(( Long years begin to show,
The body begins to bend.
Swift mortal years
Outpace the will.
But eyes still watch
Clear sighted;
The heart still beats. ))
