The following excerpt comes from an ancient document written over a 1000 years ago.

Swá ðá drihtguman dréamum lifdon
éadiglice oð ðæt án ongan
fyrene fremman féond on helle·
wæs se grimma gaést Grendel háten
maére mearcstapa sé þe móras héold
fen ond fæsten· fífelcynnes eard
wonsaélí wer weardode hwíle
siþðan him scyppend forscrifen hæfde
in Caines cynne þone cwealm gewræc
éce drihten þæs þe hé Ábel slóg·
ne gefeah hé þaére faéhðe ac hé hine feor forwræc
metod for þý máne mancynne fram·
þanon untýdras ealle onwócon
eotenas ond ylfe ond orcnéäs
swylce gígantas þá wið gode wunnon
lange þráge· hé him ðæs léan forgeald.
