Autumn Howard Anglo-Saxon September 13, 2011 reading The lord, on his arms had a ring, divided for

his people the gold from the horde. The fire burned, and the sword and knife shone where they hung on the wall of the house. The minstrel sang the song. There he sang the tale. In the town were the house and chamber of the nobleman. There he and his neighbors drank wine. He said to his people: Seize you the sword and the spears. The young nobleman had silver and gold, and bought the knife and helmets. They left their friends for their home.
