Pferdesegen (Anonymous, 9tes Jahrhundert)
===========     
gang uz, nesso, mit nium nessinchilinon,
uz fonna demo marge in deo adra
uonna den adrun in daz fleisk,
fonna demu fleiske in daz fel
fonna demo uelle in diz tulli!
gang ut, nesso, mid nigun nessikilinon
ut fana themo marge an that ben,
ut fan themo bene an that flesk
ut fan themo flesgke in this hud,
ut fan thera hud an thesa strala!

(Übersetzung)
"Go out, worm, with nine other worms, out of the marrow and into the vein,
out of the vein and into the flesh, out of the flesh and into the skin,
out of the skin and into the hoof! (because there you'll find no food anymore)
"Go out, worm, with nine other worms, out of the marrow and into the bone,
out of the bone and into the flesh, out of the flesh and into the skin,
and out of the skin onto this arrow (so I can finally shoot you away)"
