Old English (Rohirric)<br>

<br>

Hé laered hine rídan<br>

And wealdan méce<br>

And standan fæst<br>

And féond ne forhtian.<br>

Nú hé sceal leornian<br>

Ðæt hearde sóð:<br>

Hé raerede his cnapa<br>

Of cilde tó menn<br>

Ðæt hé his déað geséo.<br>

<br>

Sé féond wæs simble mid heom.<br>

Sé féond ne reccede ege.<br>

'He taught him to ride,<br>

To wield a sword.<br>

To stand strong <br>

<br>

And show his enemy no fear.<br>

Now he must learn<br>

The hard truth:<br>

That he had brought his boy<br>

From childhood.<br>

So that he might face his death<br>

Like a man.<br>

<br>

<br>

The enemy was always with them.<br>

The enemy did not care about fear.<br>
