hewed with a hardy blade from Grendel's mother�察 �and gained my life�察�

though   not   without   danger。   My   doom   was   not   yet。   Then   the   haven´of´ 

heroes�察�Healfdene's son�察�gave me in guerdon great gifts of price。 

     Note�此  。�1�А  �Beowulf   gives   his   uncle   the   king   not   mere   gossip   of   his 

journey�察�but a statesmanlike forecast of the outcome of certain policies at 

the   Danish   court。  Talk   of   interpolation   here   is   absurd。 As   both   Beowulf 

and Hygelac know�察 �and the folk for whom the Beowulf was put together 

also knew�察 �Froda was king of the Heathobards ��probably the Langobards�察�

once near neighbors of Angle and Saxon tribes on the continent���察�and had 

fallen in fight with the Danes。 Hrothgar will set aside this feud by giving 

his daughter as ;peace´weaver; and wife to the young king Ingeld�察�son of 

the    slain   Froda。    But    Beowulf�察    �on   general     principles    and   from     his 

observation      of   the  particular   case�察  �foretells   trouble。   Note�此  。�2�А  �Play   of 

shields�察�battle。 A Danish warrior cuts down Froda in the fight�察�and takes 

his   sword     and   armor�察  �leaving    them   to   a  son。   This   son   is  selected   to 

accompany  his   mistress�察  �the   young princess   Freawaru�察  �to   her   new home 

when she is Ingeld's queen。 Heedlessly he wears the sword of Froda in hall。 

An old warrior points it out to Ingeld�察�and eggs him on to vengeance。 At 

his instigation the Dane is killed�察�but the murderer�察�afraid of results�察�and 

knowing the land�察�escapes。 So the old feud must break out again。 ��3�А�That 

is�察�their disastrous battle and the slaying of their king。 ��4�А�The sword。 ��5�А�

Beowulf       returns   to  his   forecast。   Things    might    well   go   somewhat       as 

follows�察�he says�察�sketches a little tragic story�察�and with this prophecy by 

illustration returns to the tale of his adventure。 ��6�А�Not an actual glove�察�but 

a sort of bag。
