;At   the   mandate   of   one�察  �oft   warriors   many   sorrow   must   suffer�察  �and   so 

must we。 The people's´shepherd showed not aught of care for our counsel�察�

king beloved� �That guardian of gold he should grapple not�察�urged we�察�but 

let him lie where he long had been in his earth´hall waiting the end of the 

world�察�the hest of heaven。  This hoard is ours but grievously gotten�察�too 

grim the fate which thither carried our king and lord。 I was within there�察�

and all I viewed�察�the chambered treasure�察�when chance allowed me ��and 

my   path   was   made   in   no   pleasant   wise��   under   the   earth´wall。   Eager�察  �I 

seized such heap from the hoard as hands could bear and hurriedly carried 

it hither   back to   my   liege   and   lord。 Alive   was   he   still�察�still   wielding   his 

wits。 The wise old man spake much in his sorrow�察�and sent you greetings 

and   bade   that   ye   build�察  �when   he   breathed   no   more�察  �on   the   place   of   his 

balefire a barrow high�察�memorial mighty。 Of men was he worthiest warrior 

wide earth o'er the while he had joy of his jewels and burg。 Let us set out 

in haste now�察�the second time to see and search this store of treasure�察�these 

wall´hid wonders�察 �the way I show you�察 �where�察�gathered near�察�ye may 

gaze your fill at broad´gold and rings。 Let the bier�察�soon made�察�be all in 

order   when   out   we   come�察  �our   king   and   captain   to   carry   thither      man 

beloved      where   long   he   shall   bide   safe   in   the   shelter   of   sovran   God。; 

Then the bairn of Weohstan bade command�察�hardy chief�察�to heroes many

folk they ruled  for the famed´one's funeral。 ; Fire shall devour and wan 

flames feed on the fearless warrior who oft stood stout in the iron´shower�察�

when�察�sped from the string�察�a storm of arrows shot o'er the shield´wall�此�the 

shaft   held   firm�察  �featly   feathered�察  �followed   the   barb。; And   now   the   sage 

young son of Weohstan seven chose of the chieftain's thanes�察�the best he 

found that band within�察�and went with these warriors�察�one of eight�察�under 

hostile roof。 In hand one bore a lighted torch and led the way。 No lots they 

cast for keeping the hoard when once the warriors saw it in hall�察�altogether 

without   a   guardian�察  �lying   there   lost。 And   little   they   mourned   when   they 

had   hastily  haled   it   out�察  �dear´bought   treasure� �The   dragon   they  cast�察  �the 

worm�察  �o'er     the   wall  for   the  wave   to    take�察  �and  surges   swallowed       that 

shepherd of gems。 Then the woven gold on a wain was laden  countless 

quite�  �and the king was borne�察�hoary hero�察�to Hrones´Ness。 

     ��1�А  �Probably   the   fugitive   is   meant   who   discovered        the   hoard。   Ten 

Brink and Gering assume that the dragon is meant。 ;Hid; may well mean 

here   ;took   while   in   hiding。;   ��2�А  �That   is   ;one   and   a   few   others。;   But 

Beowulf   seems   to   be   indicated。   ��3�А  �Ten   Brink   points   out   the   strongly 

heathen character of this part of the epic。 Beowulf's end came�察�so the old 

tradition ran�察�from his unwitting interference with spell´bound treasure。 ��4�А�

A   hard    saying�察   �variously   interpreted。     In  any   case�察  �it  is  the  somewhat 

clumsy   effort   of   the   Christian   poet   to   tone   down   the   heathenism   of   his 

material by an edifying observation。

     THEN fashioned for him the folk of Geats firm on the earth a funeral´ 

pile�察�and hung it with helmets and harness of war and breastplates bright�察�

as the boon he asked�察�and they laid amid it the mighty chieftain�察�heroes 

mourning their   master dear。 Then on  the hill that hugest of balefires the 

warriors wakened。 Wood´smoke rose black over blaze�察�and blent was the 

roar of flame with weeping ��the wind was still���察�till the fire had broken the 

frame of bones�察�hot at the heart。 In heavy mood their misery moaned they�察�

their master's death。 Wailing her woe�察�the widow��1�А�old�察�her hair upbound�察�

for Beowulf's death sung in her sorrow�察�and said full oft she dreaded the 

doleful days to come�察�deaths enow�察�and doom of battle�察�and shame。  The 

smoke by the sky was devoured。 The folk of the Weders fashioned there 

on the headland a barrow broad and high�察�by ocean´farers far descried�此�in 

ten   days'   time   their   toil   had   raised   it�察  �the   battle´brave's   beacon。   Round 

brands   of   the   pyre   a   wall   they   built�察  �the   worthiest   ever   that   wit   could 

prompt in their wisest men。 They placed in the barrow that precious booty�察�

the rounds and the rings they had reft erewhile�察�hardy heroes�察�from hoard 

in   cave�察     �trusting   the   ground   with   treasure   of   earls�察  �gold   in   the   earth�察�

where ever it lies useless to men as of yore it was。 Then about that barrow 

the battle´keen rode�察�atheling´born�察�a band of twelve�察�lament to make�察�to 

mourn their king�察�chant their dirge�察�and their chieftain honor。 They praised 

his earlship�察�his acts of prowess worthily witnessed�此�and well it is that men 

their master´friend mightily laud�察�heartily love�察�when hence he goes from 

life in the body forlorn away。 

     Thus    made     their  mourning     the   men    of  Geatland�察   �for  their   hero's 

passing his hearth´companions�此�quoth that of all the kings of earth�察�of men 

he was mildest and most beloved�察�to his kin the kindest�察�keenest for praise。 

     ��1�А�Nothing is said of Beowulf's wife in the poem�察�but Bugge surmises 

that Beowulf finally accepted Hygd's offer of kingdom and hoard�察�and�察�as 

was usual�察�took her into the bargain。
