R: [gothic-l] Boethius: Meter 1 (l. 1-53) OE

[Giuseppe Pagliarulo]

Hails!
Consider this as a preliminary try, or better as a suggestion. My
insufficiencies with verse-handling are well known, so what follows is
wide open to debate. As a further disclaimer, I haven't been reading
Old English for months, so corrections and improvements are more than
welcome.

Hit wæs geara iu     ðætte Gotan eastan
Wesun jera ju     þanei Gutans fram urrunsa    [alliteration is lost]

of Sciððia     sceldas læddon
af Skwþjai    skilduns tauhun

þreate geþrungon     þeodlond monig
swinþein afswaggwidedun    sibjos managos

setton suðweardes     sigeþeoda twa
sniwun sauilwairþis    sigiþiudo twos

Izwar,

Iosef Strawarila
