Punishments

Alfred the Great, preface to his translation of Pope Gregory's Cura Pastoralis (tr. Simon Keynes and Michael Lapidge):
Remember what punishments befell us in this world when we ourselves did not cherish learning nor transmit it to other men.

Geðenc hwelc witu us ða becomon for ðisse worulde, ða ða we hit nohwæðer ne selfe ne lufedon, ne eac oðrum monnum ne lefdon.
