Theoden King

THE FUNERAL OF THEODRED
Bealocwealm hafath fréone frecan forth onsended
Giedd sculon singan gléomenn
sorgiende on Meduselde thæt he manna wære
his dryhtne dierest and maga deorost.
Bealo
[An evil death has set forth the noble warrior
A song shall sing sorrowing minstrels
in Meduseld that he is no more,
to his lord dearest and kinsmen most beloved.]
