earth   three   hundred   winters�察  �till   One   aroused   wrath   in   his   breast�察  �to   the 

ruler bearing that costly cup�察�and the king implored for bond of peace。 So 

the barrow was plundered�察�borne off was booty。 His boon was granted that 

wretched man�察�and his ruler saw first time what was fashioned in far´off 

days。 When   the   dragon   awoke�察  �new   woe   was   kindled。   O'er   the   stone   he 

snuffed。 The stark´heart found footprint of foe who so far had gone in his 

hidden   craft   by  the   creature's   head。      So   may  the   undoomed   easily  flee 

evils and exile�察�if only he gain the grace of The Wielder�  �That warden of 

gold o'er the ground went seeking�察�greedy to find the man who wrought 

him  such   wrong in sleep。  Savage   and burning�察�the barrow  he   circled   all 

without�察�nor was any there�察�none in the waste。。。。 Yet war he desired�察�was 

eager   for   battle。  The   barrow   he   entered�察  �sought   the   cup�察  �and   discovered 

soon that some one of mortals had searched his treasure�察�his lordly gold。 

The   guardian   waited   ill´enduring   till   evening   came�察  �boiling   with   wrath 

was the barrow's keeper�察�and fain with flame the foe to pay for the dear 

cup's loss。  Now day was fled as the worm had wished。 By its wall no 

more   was   it   glad   to   bide�察  �but   burning   flew   folded   in   flame�此  �a   fearful 

beginning for sons of the soil�察�and soon it came�察�in the doom of their lord�察�

to a dreadful end。

     THEN the baleful fiend its fire belched out�察�and bright homes burned。 

The   blaze   stood   high   all   landsfolk   frighting。   No   living   thing   would   that 

loathly one leave as aloft it flew。 Wide was the dragon's warring seen�察�its 

fiendish   fury   far   and   near�察  �as   the   grim   destroyer   those   Geatish   people 

hated and hounded。 To hidden lair�察�to its hoard it hastened at hint of dawn。 

Folk of the land it had lapped in flame�察�with bale and brand。 In its barrow 

it trusted�察�its battling and bulwarks�此�that boast was vain� �

     To Beowulf then the bale was told quickly and truly�此�the king's own 

home�察  �of   buildings   the   best�察  �in   brand´waves   melted�察  �that   gift´throne   of 

Geats。 To the good old man sad in heart�察�'twas heaviest sorrow。 The sage 

assumed   that   his   sovran   God   he   had   angered�察 �breaking   ancient   law�察  �and 

embittered the Lord。 His breast within with black thoughts welled�察�as his 

wont was never。 The folk's own fastness that fiery dragon with flame had 

destroyed�察�and the stronghold all washed by waves�察�but the warlike king�察�

prince of the Weders�察�plotted vengeance。 Warriors'´bulwark�察�he bade them 

work all of iron  the earl's commander  a war´shield wondrous�此�well he 

knew that forest´wood against fire were worthless�察�linden could aid not。  

Atheling   brave�察  �he   was   fated   to   finish   this   fleeting   life�撮�1�А  �his   days   on 

earth�察�and the dragon with him�察�though long it had watched o'er the wealth 

of thehoard�  �Shame he reckoned it�察�sharer´of´rings�察�to follow the flyer´ 

afar with a host�察�a broad´flung band�察�nor the battle feared he�察�nor deemed 

he dreadful the dragon's warring�察�its vigor and valor�此�ventures desperate he 

had   passed   a´plenty�察  �and   perils   of   war�察  �contest´crash�察  �since�察  �conqueror 

proud�察�Hrothgar's hall he had wholly purged�察�and in grapple had killed the 

kin of Grendel�察�loathsome breed� �Not least was that of hand´to´hand fights 

where Hygelac fell�察�when the ruler of Geats in rush of battle�察�lord of his 

folk�察�in the Frisian land�察�son of Hrethel�察�by sword´draughts died�察�by brands 

down´beaten。   Thence   Beowulf   fled   through   strength   of   himself   and   his 

swimming power�察�though alone�察�and his arms were laden with thirty coats 

of mail�察�when he came   to the sea�   �Nor yet   might Hetwaras��2�А �haughtily 

boast their craft of   contest�察�who carried against   him shields to the   fight�此�
