That Her Maidenhood

þæt hire mægðhad mana gehwylces
fore Cristes lufan clæne geheolde.
ða wæs sio fæmne mid hyre fæder willan
welegum biweddad; wyrd ne ful cuþe,
freondrædenne hu heo from hogde,

That her maidenhood of every man for Christ's love should be kept pure. Then was the maiden with her father's will richly wedded; fate was not fully known, friendly counsel how she from thought.
