  Nāt ic þē nānne betran rēd þonne þū ǣr cwēde. Ac lǣt bēon þone wōp and þā unrōtnesse, and bēo ġemetlīce blīðe. Þū wēre ǣr tō unġemetlīce unrōt, forðām sēo unrōtnes derað ǣġðer ġe mōd ġe līchaman.
  I know no better advice for thee than thou formerly saidst. But leave off woe and sorrow, and be measurably happy. Thou wert formerly too immoderately sorrowful, for sorrow injureth both mind and body.
