The sequence  Oft daedlata domę foręldit  (four words) in the Old English  Proverb from Winfrid’s Time  ( ProvW , 1) defies grammatical analysis because  foręldit  ‘delays’ requires an accusative object. It is proposed to read  Oft daed lata domę foręldit  as five words, with  daed  (=  dǣd ) ‘deed’ functioning as direct object. This suggestion does not require any emendation because word division in Old English is by no means regular and there is some space between  daed  and  lata  in the manuscript anyway. The dative forms  domę  and  gahwem  (2a) function as instrumentals, with  gahwem  perhaps subordinated to  domę . The meaning of the simplex  lata  lies in the area of ‘late-comer’, but ‘sluggard’, ‘laggard’ or other derogatory terms are not suitable. With regard to its genre,  ProvW  may be viewed in conjunction with  Bede’s Death Song  ( BDS ). The vocabulary of  BDS  presents some problems, but, above all, the construction of the five verse-lines is not totally clear. It is proposed that the comparative  thoncsnotturra  (2a) has absolute function, and that the adverbial  than  (2b), meaning ‘then’, introduces a fresh clause.  ProvW  and  BDS  may belong to a larger group of self-contained texts no longer extant. In a wide sense they represent the category of Wisdom Poetry in a Christian context.
