A Conversation betwix a Warrior and a Fiend

'Twas a great long time age when a brave Saxon warrior met his arch enemy, a violent Dane. Here is the conversation held betwix the brave warrior and the nasty fiend:

Wíga: "Éalá! Hit is þú, Dene. Willst þú nù déadian? (Warrior: "Oh! It is thou, dane. Dost thou want to die now?") Dene (béonde géap): "Hwæt?! Ic ne wite hwæt þú ymbsprecest." (Dane (being decietful): "What?! I don't know what thou art speaking about.") Wíga (med ábylgnesse): "Đú stranglice léasast! Ic ofsléa þec ǣdre!" (Warrior (with wrath): "Thou greatly (lit. "strongly") lyest (/liest?)! I shall kill thee quickly (lit. "directly/soon")!"

(Se Féond flíehð and se wíga æftergáð) (The fiend flees (lit. "fleeth") and the warrior goes after him (lit. "Goeth behind/after")
