'neath   the   barrow's   roof。   Then   the   clansman   keen�察  �of   conquest   proud�察�

passing   the   seat�撮�1�А  �saw   store   of   jewels   and   glistening   gold   the   ground

richness�察  �rusty  helms   of   the   olden   age�察  �and   arm´rings   many  wondrously 

woven。  Such wealth of gold�察�booty from barrow�察�can burden with pride 

each human   wight�此  �let him  hide   it   who   will�      �His   glance   too   fell   on   a 

gold´wove   banner   high   o'er   the   hoard�察  �of   handiwork   noblest�察  �brilliantly 

broidered�察�so bright its gleam�察�all the earth´floor he easily saw and viewed 

all these vessels。 No vestige now was seen of the serpent�此�the sword had 

ta'en him。 Then�察�I heard�察�the hill of its hoard was reft�察�old work of giants�察�

by one alone�察�he burdened his bosom with beakers and plate at his own 

good will�察�and the ensign took�察�brightest of beacons。  The blade of his 

lord  its edge was iron  had injured deep one that guarded the golden 

hoard   many   a   year   and   its   murder´fire   spread   hot   round   the   barrow   in 

horror´billows at midnight hour�察�till it met its doom。 Hasted the herald�察�the

liegeman again plashed him with water�察�till point of word broke through 

the breast´hoard。 Beowulf spake�察�sage and sad�察�as he stared at the gold。  

;For the gold and treasure�察�to God my thanks�察�to the Wielder´of´Wonders�察�

with words I say�察�for what I behold�察�to Heaven's Lord�察�for the grace that I 

give such gifts to my folk or ever the day of my death be run� �Now I've 

bartered here for booty of treasure the last of my life�察�so look ye well to 

the needs of my land� �No longer I tarry。 A barrow bid ye the battle´fanned 

raise for my ashes。 'Twill shine by the shore of the flood�察�to folk of mine

may hail Beowulf's Barrow�察�as back from far they drive their keels o'er the

     IT was heavy hap for that hero young on his lord beloved to look and 

find him lying on earth with life at end�察�sorrowful sight。 But the slayer too�察�

awful   earth´dragon�察  �empty   of   breath�察  �lay   felled   in   fight�察  �nor�察  �fain   of   its 

treasure�察 �could the   writhing   monster   rule it   more。  For   edges of   iron   had 

ended its days�察�hard and battle´sharp�察�hammers' leaving�撮�1�А�and that flier´ 

afar had fallen to ground hushed by its hurt�察�its hoard all near�察�no longer 

lusty aloft to whirl   at midnight�察 �making its   merriment seen�察 �proud of  its 

prizes�此�prone it sank by the handiwork of the hero´king。 Forsooth among 

folk but few achieve�察 �though sturdy and strong�察�as stories tell me�察�and 

never so daring in deed of valor�察 �the perilous breath of a poison´foe to 

brave�察�and to rush on the ring´board hall�察�whenever his watch the warden 

keeps bold in the barrow。 Beowulf paid the price of death for that precious 

hoard�察�and each of the foes had found the end of this fleeting life。 Befell 

erelong that the laggards in war the wood had left�察�trothbreakers�察�cowards�察�

ten together�察�fearing before to flourish a spear in the sore distress of their 

sovran lord。 Now in their shame their shields they carried�察�armor of fight�察�

where the old man lay�察�and they gazed on Wiglaf。 Wearied he sat at his 

sovran's shoulder�察�shieldsman good�察�to wake him with water。��2�А�Nowise it 

availed。 Though well he wished it�察�in world no more could he barrier life 

for that leader´of´battles nor baffle the will of all´wielding God。 Doom of 

the Lord was law o'er the deeds of every man�察�as it is to´day。 Grim was the 

answer�察  �easy   to   get�察  �from   the   youth   for   those   that   had   yielded   to   fear� �

Wiglaf spake�察�the son of Weohstan�察 �mournful he looked on those men 

unloved�此  �Who sooth will speak�察�can say indeed that the ruler who gave 

you golden rings and the harness of war in which ye stand  for he at ale´ 

bench   often´times   bestowed   on   hall´folk   helm   and   breastplate�察  �lord   to 

liegemen�察  �the   likeliest   gear   which   near   of   far   he   could   find   to   give�察   �

threw away and wasted these weeds of battle�察�on men who failed when the 

foemen came� �Not at all could the king of his comrades´in´arms venture to 

vaunt�察   �though     the  Victory´Wielder�察      �God�察  �gave    him    grace   that  he   got 

revenge sole   with his   sword in stress and need。 To   rescue his   life�察 �'twas 

little   that   I   could   serve   him   in   struggle�察  �yet   shift   I   made   ��hopeless   it

the living earl by the other dead�察�and heavy of heart a head´watch��3�А�keeps

once unhidden to Frisian and Frank the fall of the king is spread afar。  

The strife began when hot on the Hugas��4�А�Hygelac fell and fared with his 

fleet   to   the   Frisian   land。   Him   there   the   Hetwaras   humbled   in   war�察  �plied

treasure� �And ever since the Merowings' favor has failed us wholly。 Nor 

aught   expect   I   of   peace   and   faith   from   Swedish   folk。   'Twas   spread   afar

Warlike´Scylfings。 Soon the sage old sire��5�А�of Ohtere�察�ancient and awful�察�

gave answering blow�察�the sea´king��6�А�he slew�察�and his spouse redeemed�察�

his good wife rescued�察�though robbed of her gold�察�mother of Ohtere and 

Onela。 Then he followed his foes�察�who fled before him sore beset and stole
