Enigmata Saxonica Nuper Inventa Duo

I.
MELCHWITUM sind marmanstane
wagas mine wundrum frætwede;
is hrægl ahongen hnesce on-innan.
seolce gelicost; siththan on-middan
is wyl1a geworht, waeter glaes-hluttor;
Thær glisnath gold-hladen on gytestreamum
æppla scienost. Infær nænig
nah min burg-fæsten; berstath hwæthre
thriste theofas on thrythærn min.
ond thæt sinc reafiath — saga hwæt ic hatte!

II.
Hæfth Hild Hunecan hwite tunecan,
ond swa read rose hæfth rudige nose;
the leng heo bideth, the læss heo wrideth;
hire tearas hate on tan blate
biernende dreosath ond bearhtme freosath;
hwæt heo sie saga, searothancla maga.
