march to Heorot this monster of harm had made� �Din filled the room�察�the
Danes were bereft�察 �castle´dwellers and clansmen all�察 �earls�察 �of their ale。
Angry were both those savage hall´guards�此�the house resounded。 Wonder it
was the wine´hall firm in the strain of their struggle stood�察�to earth the fair
house fell not�察�too fast it was within and without by its iron bands craftily
clamped�察�though there crashed from sill many a mead´bench men have
told me gay with gold�察 �where the grim foes wrestled。 So well had
weened the wisest Scyldings that not ever at all might any man that bone´
decked�察�brave house break asunder�察�crush by craft�察 �unless clasp of fire in
smoke engulfed it。 Again uprose din redoubled。 Danes of the North with
fear and frenzy were filled�察�each one�察�who from the wall that wailing heard�察�
God's foe sounding his grisly song�察�cry of the conquered�察�clamorous pain
from captive of hell。 Too closely held him he who of men in might was
strongest in that same day of this our life。

NOT in any wise would the earls'´defence��1�А�suffer that slaughterous
stranger to live�察�useless deeming his days and years to men on earth。 Now
many an earl of Beowulf brandished blade ancestral�察�fain the life of their
lord to shield�察�their praised prince�察�if power were theirs�察�never they knew�察 �
´ as they neared the foe�察�hardy´hearted heroes of war�察�aiming their swords
on every side the accursed to kill�察 �no keenest blade�察 �no farest of
falchions fashioned on earth�察 �could harm or hurt that hideous fiend� �He
was safe�察�by his spells�察�from sword of battle�察�from edge of iron。 Yet his end
and parting on that same day of this our life woful should be�察 �and his
wandering soul far off flit to the fiends' domain。 Soon he found�察�who in
former days�察 �harmful in heart and hated of God�察 �on many a man such
murder wrought�察�that the frame of his body failed him now。 For him the
keen´souled kinsman of Hygelac held in hand�察�hateful alive was each to
other。 The outlaw dire took mortal hurt�察�a mighty wound showed on his
shoulder�察�and sinews cracked�察�and the bone´frame burst。 To Beowulf now
the glory was given�察 �and Grendel thence death´sick his den in the dark
moor sought�察�noisome abode�此�he knew too well that here was the last of
life�察�an end of his days on earth。 To all the Danes by that bloody battle
the boon had come。 From ravage had rescued the roving stranger
Hrothgar's hall�察 �the hardy and wise one had purged it anew。 His night´
work pleased him�察�his deed and its honor。 To Eastern Danes had the valiant
Geat his vaunt made good�察�all their sorrow and ills assuaged�察�their bale of
battle borne so long�察 �and all the dole they erst endured pain a´plenty。
'Twas proof of this�察 �when the hardy´in´fight a hand laid down�察 �arm and
shoulder�察 �all�察�indeed�察�of Grendel's gripe�察 �'neath the gabled roof。

MANY at morning�察�as men have told me�察�warriors gathered the gift´
hall round�察�folk´leaders faring from far and near�察�o'er wide´stretched ways�察�
the wonder to view�察�trace of the traitor。 Not troublous seemed the enemy's
end to any man who saw by the gait of the graceless foe how the weary´
hearted�察�away from thence�察�baffled in battle and banned�察�his steps death´
marked dragged to the devils' mere。 Bloody the billows were boiling there�察�
turbid the tide of tumbling waves horribly seething�察�with sword´blood hot�察�
by that doomed one dyed�察 �who in den of the moor laid forlorn his life
adown�察�his heathen soul�察�and hell received it。 Home then rode the hoary
clansmen from that merry journey�察�and many a youth�察�on horses white�察�the
hardy warriors�察 �back from the mere。 Then Beowulf's glory eager they
echoed�察�and all averred that from sea to sea�察�or south or north�察�there was
no other in earth's domain�察�under vault of heaven�察�more valiant found�察�of
warriors none more worthy to rule� 。�On their lord beloved they laid no
slight�察�gracious Hrothgar�此�a good king he�。� From time to time�察�the tried´in´
battle their gray steeds set to gallop amain�察�and ran a race when the road
seemed fair。 From time to time�察�a thane of the king�察�who had made many
vaunts�察 �and was mindful of verses�察 �stored with sagas and songs of old�察�
bound word to word in well´knit rime�察�welded his lay�察�this warrior soon of
Beowulf's quest right cleverly sang�察�and artfully added an excellent tale�察�in
well´ranged words�察�of the warlike deeds he had heard in saga of Sigemund。
Strange the story�此 �he said it all�察 �the Waelsing's wanderings wide�察 �his
struggles�察�which never were told to tribes of men�察�the feuds and the frauds�察�
save to Fitela only�察 �when of these doings he deigned to speak�察 �uncle to
nephew�察 �as ever the twain stood side by side in stress of war�察 �and
multitude of the monster kind they had felled with their swords。 Of
Sigemund grew�察 �when he passed from life�察 �no little praise�察 �for the
doughty´in´combat a dragon killed that herded the hoard�今�1�А�under hoary
rock the atheling dared the deed alone fearful quest�察�nor was Fitela there。
Yet so it befell�察�his falchion pierced that wondrous worm�察 �on the wall it
struck�察�best blade�察�the dragon died in its blood。 Thus had the dread´one by
daring achieved over the ring´hoard to rule at will�察�himself to pleasure�察�a

sea´boat he loaded�察�and bore on its bosom the beaming gold�察�son of Waels�察�
the worm was consumed。 He had of all heroes the highest renown among
races of men�察�this refuge´of´warriors�察�for deeds of daring that decked his
name since the hand and heart of Heremod grew slack in battle。 He�察�
swiftly banished to mingle with monsters at mercy of foes�察�to death was
betrayed�察�for torrents of sorrow had lamed him too long�察�a load of care to
earls and athelings all he proved。 Oft indeed�察 �in earlier days�察 �for the
warrior's wayfaring wise men mourned�察�who had hoped of him help from
harm and bale�察�and had thought their sovran's son would thrive�察�follow his
father�察�his folk protect�察�the hoard and the stronghold�察�heroes' land�察�home of
Scyldings。 But here�察�thanes said�察�the kinsman of Hygelac kinder seemed
to all�此 �the other��2�А �was urged to crime� �And afresh to the race�撮�3�А �the
fallow roads by swift steeds measured� �The morning sun was climbing
higher。 Clansmen hastened to the high´built hall�察�those hardy´minded�察�the
wonder to witness。 Warden of treasure�察 �crowned with glory�察 �the king
himself�察�with stately band from the bride´bower strode�察�and with him the
queen and her crowd of maidens measured the path to the mead´house fair。
��1�А �Guarded the treasure。; ��2�А�Sc。 Heremod。 ��3�А�The singer has sung
his lays�察 �and the epic resumes its story。 The time´relations are not
altogether good in this long passage which describes the rejoicings of ;the
day after;�察�but the present shift from the riders on the road to the folk at
the hall is not very violent�察�and is of a piece with the general style。

HROTHGAR spake�察 �to the hall he went�察 �stood by the steps�察 �the
steep roof saw�察�garnished with gold�察�and Grendel's hand�此 �For the sight I
see to the Sovran Ruler be speedy thanks� �A throng of sorrows I have
borne from Grendel�察�but God still works wonder on wonder�察�the Warden´
of´Glory。 It was but now that I never more for woes that weighed on me
waited help long as I lived�察 �when�察 �laved in blood�察 �stood sword´gore´
stained this stateliest house�察 �widespread woe for wise men all�察�who had
no hope to hinder ever foes infernal and fiendish sprites from havoc in hall。
This hero now�察�by the Wielder's might�察�a work has done that not all of us
erst could ever do by wile and wisdom。 Lo�察 �well can she say whoso of
women this warrior bore among sons of men�察 �if still she liveth�察 �that the
God of the ages was good to her in the birth of her bairn。 Now�察�Beowulf�察�
thee�察�of heroes best�察�I shall heartily love as mine own�察�my son�察�preserve
thou ever this kinship new�此�thou shalt never lack wealth of the world that I
wield as mine� �Full oft for less have I largess showered�察 �my precious
