     ;THEN he goes to his chamber�察�a grief´song chants alone for his lost。 

Too large all seems�察�homestead and house。 So the helmet´of´Weders hid in 

his heart for Herebeald waves of woe。 No way could he take to avenge on 

the slayer slaughter so foul�察�nor e'en could he harass that hero at all with 

loathing   deed�察  �though   he   loved   him  not。 And so   for   the sorrow   his   soul 

endured�察  �men's   gladness   he   gave   up   and   God's   light   chose。   Lands   and 

cities he left his sons ��as the wealthy do�� when he went from earth。 There 

was strife and struggle 'twixt Swede and Geat o'er the width of waters�察�war 

arose�察�hard battle´horror�察�when Hrethel died�察�and Ongentheow's offspring 

grew strife´keen�察�bold�察�nor brooked o'er the seas pact of peace�察�but pushed 

their hosts to harass in hatred by Hreosnabeorh。 Men of my folk for that 

feud   had   vengeance�察  �for   woful   war   ��'tis   widely   known���察  �though   one   of 

them   bought   it   with   blood   of   his   heart�察  �a   bargain   hard�此  �for   Haethcyn 

proved   fatal   that   fray�察  �for   the   first´of´Geats。   At   morn�察  �I   heard�察  �was   the 

murderer   killed   by   kinsman   for   kinsman�撮�1�А  �with   clash   of   sword�察  �when 

Ongentheow met Eofor there。 Wide split the war´helm�此�wan he fell�察�hoary 

Scylfing�察�the hand that smote him of feud was mindful�察�nor flinched from 

the death´blow。  ;For all that he��2�А�gave me�察�my gleaming sword repaid 

him at war�察 �such power I wielded�察 �for lordly treasure�此�with land he 

entrusted me�察�homestead and house。 He had no need from Swedish realm�察�

or from Spear´Dane folk�察�or from  men of the Gifths�察�to get him help�察 �

some warrior worse for wage to buy� �Ever I fought in the front of all�察�sole 

to the fore�察�and so shall I fight while I bide in life and this blade shall last

Frisian   king   with   the   booty   back�察  �and   breast´adornments�察  �but�察  �slain   in 

struggle�察�that standard´bearer fell�察�atheling brave。 Not with blade was he 

slain�察�but his bones were broken by brawny gripe�察�his heart´waves stilled。 ´ 

´ The sword´edge now�察�hard blade and my hand�察�for the hoard shall strive。; 

Beowulf spake�察�and a battle´vow made his last of all�此 �I have lived through 

many   wars   in   my   youth�察  �now   once   again�察 �old   folk´defender�察  �feud   will   I

keen that   coiled foe   came seeking strife。 The   sturdy king had drawn his 

sword�察�not dull of edge�察�heirloom old�察�and each of the two felt fear of his 

foe�察�though fierce their mood。 Stoutly stood with his shield high´raised the 

warrior   king�察  �as   the   worm   now   coiled   together   amain�此  �the   mailed´one

his life� �But Wyrd denied it�察�and victory's honors。  His arm he lifted lord

turned brown blade�察�on the bone�察�and bit more feebly than its noble master
