BEOWULF spake�察�bairn of Ecgtheow�此 �Lo�察�now�察�this sea´booty�察�son
of Healfdene�察�Lord of Scyldings�察�we've lustily brought thee�察�sign of glory�察�
thou seest it here。 Not lightly did I with my life escape� �In war under water
this work I essayed with endless effort�察�and even so my strength had been
lost had the Lord not shielded me。 Not a whit could I with Hrunting do in
work of war�察�though the weapon is good�察�yet a sword the Sovran of Men
vouchsafed me to spy on the wall there�察�in splendor hanging�察�old�察�gigantic�察�
how oft He guides the friendless wight� �and I fought with that brand�察�
felling in fight�察 �since fate was with me�察 �the house's wardens。 That war´
sword then all burned�察�bright blade�察�when the blood gushed o'er it�察�battle´
sweat hot�察 �but the hilt I brought back from my foes。 So avenged I their
fiendish deeds death´fall of Danes�察�as was due and right。 And this is my
hest�察�that in Heorot now safe thou canst sleep with thy soldier band�察�and
every thane of all thy folk both old and young�察�no evil fear�察�Scyldings' lord�察�
from that side again�察�aught ill for thy earls�察�as erst thou must� ─�Then the
golden hilt�察�for that gray´haired leader�察�hoary hero�察�in hand was laid�察�giant´
wrought�察�old。 So owned and enjoyed it after downfall of devils�察�the Danish
lord�察 �wonder´smiths' work�察 �since the world was rid of that grim´souled
fiend�察 �the foe of God�察 �murder´marked�察 �and his mother as well。 Now it
passed into power of the people's king�察�best of all that the oceans bound
who have scattered their gold o'er Scandia's isle。 Hrothgar spake the hilt
he viewed�察 �heirloom old�察 �where was etched the rise of that far´off fight
when the floods o'erwhelmed�察 �raging waves�察 �the race of giants ��fearful
their fate�。��察 �a folk estranged from God Eternal�此 �whence guerdon due in
that waste of waters the Wielder paid them。 So on the guard of shining
gold in runic staves it was rightly said for whom the serpent´traced sword
was wrought�察�best of blades�察�in bygone days�察�and the hilt well wound。
The wise´one spake�察�son of Healfdene�察�silent were all�此 �Lo�察�so may he
say who sooth and right follows 'mid folk�察�of far times mindful�察�a land´
warden old�撮�1�А�that this earl belongs to the better breed� �So�察�borne aloft�察�
thy fame must fly�察 �O friend my Beowulf�察 �far and wide o'er folksteads
many。 Firmly thou shalt all maintain�察 �mighty strength with mood of

wisdom。 Love of mine will I assure thee�察�as�察�awhile ago�察�I promised�察�thou
shalt prove a stay in future�察�in far´off years�察�to folk of thine�察�to the heroes a
help。 Was not Heremod thus to offspring of Ecgwela�察 �Honor´Scyldings�察�
nor grew for their grace�察�but for grisly slaughter�察�for doom of death to the
Danishmen。
He slew�察�wrath´swollen�察�his shoulder´comrades�察�companions at board� �
So he passed alone�察�chieftain haughty�察�from human cheer。 Though him the
Maker with might endowed�察�delights of power�察�and uplifted high above all
men�察�yet blood´fierce his mind�察�his breast´hoard�察�grew�察�no bracelets gave
he to Danes as was due�察�he endured all joyless strain of struggle and stress
of woe�察�long feud with his folk。 Here find thy lesson� �Of virtue advise thee� �
This verse I have said for thee�察�wise from lapsed winters。 Wondrous seems
how to sons of men Almighty God in the strength of His spirit sendeth
wisdom�察�estate�察�high station�此�He swayeth all things。 Whiles He letteth right
lustily fare the heart of the hero of high´born race�察 �in seat ancestral
assigns him bliss�察�his folk's sure fortress in fee to hold�察�puts in his power
great parts of the earth�察 �empire so ample�察 �that end of it this wanter´of´
wisdom weeneth none。 So he waxes in wealth�察 �nowise can harm him
illness or age�察 �no evil cares shadow his spirit�察 �no sword´hate threatens
from ever an enemy�此�all the world wends at his will�察�no worse he knoweth�察�
till all within him obstinate pride waxes and wakes while the warden
slumbers�察�the spirit's sentry�察�sleep is too fast which masters his might�察�and
the murderer nears�察�stealthily shooting the shafts from his bow� �
��1�А �That is�察 �whoever has as wide authority as I have and can
remember so far back so many instances of heroism�察�may well say�察�as I say�察�
that no better hero ever lived than Beowulf。;

;UNDER harness his heart then is hit indeed by sharpest shafts�察�and no
shelter avails from foul behest of the hellish fiend。��1�А�Him seems too little
what long he possessed。 Greedy and grim�察�no golden rings he gives for his
pride�察�the promised future forgets he and spurns�察�with all God has sent him�察�
Wonder´Wielder�察�of wealth and fame。 Yet in the end it ever comes that the
frame of the body fragile yields�察�fated falls�察�and there follows another who
joyously the jewels divides�察�the royal riches�察�nor recks of his forebear。 Ban�察�
then�察�such baleful thoughts�察�Beowulf dearest�察�best of men�察�and the better
part choose�察 �profit eternal�察 �and temper thy pride�察 �warrior famous� �The
flower of thy might lasts now a while�此�but erelong it shall be that sickness
or sword thy strength shall minish�察�or fang of fire�察�or flooding billow�察�or
bite of blade�察�or brandished spear�察�or odious age�察�or the eyes' clear beam
wax dull and darken�此�Death even thee in haste shall o'erwhelm�察�thou hero
of war� �So the Ring´Danes these half´years a hundred I ruled�察 �wielded
'neath welkin�察 �and warded them bravely from mighty´ones many o'er
middle´earth�察�from spear and sword�察�till it seemed for me no foe could be
found under fold of the sky。 Lo�察 �sudden the shift� �To me seated secure
came grief for joy when Grendel began to harry my home�察�the hellish foe�察�
for those ruthless raids�察�unresting I suffered heart´sorrow heavy。 Heaven
be thanked�察�Lord Eternal�察�for life extended that I on this head all hewn and
bloody�察�after long evil�察�with eyes may gaze� �Go to the bench now� �Be
glad at banquet�察�warrior worthy� �A wealth of treasure at dawn of day�察�be
dealt between us� ─�Glad was the Geats' lord�察�going betimes to seek his seat�察�
as the Sage commanded。 Afresh�察�as before�察�for the famed´in´battle�察�for the
band of the hall�察 �was a banquet dight nobly anew。 The Night´Helm
darkened dusk o'er the drinkers。 The doughty ones rose�此 �for the hoary´

fighter sturdy�察 �for sleeping yearned。 Him wander´weary�察 �warrior´guest
from far�察�a hall´thane heralded forth�察�who by custom courtly cared for all
needs of a thane as in those old days warrior´wanderers wont to have。 So
slumbered the stout´heart。 Stately the hall rose gabled and gilt where the
