Old English scholar needed; Eomer and Eowyn's salutes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm not an old English scholar - I kind of muddle along. But I'm guessing the first one is "Be thou hale (ie healthy, well) Theoden"
and the second one is "Go/fare thee well, Theoden."
But I would be happy for anyone better versed in old English to correct me if I'm wrong.
