Whan Cnut Cyng the Witan wold enfeoff
Of infangthief and outfangthief
Wonderlich were they enwraged
And wordwar waged
Sware Cnut great scot and lot
Swingi wold ich this illbegotten lot.

Wroth was Cnut and wrothword spake.
Well wold he win at wopantake.
Fain wold he braki frith and cracki heads
And than they shold worshippe his redes.

Swinged Cnut Cyng with swung sword
Howled Witani helli but hearkened his word
Murie sang Cnut Cyng
Outfangthief is Damgudthyng.
