     UNFERTH          spake�察  �the   son   of  Ecglaf�察   �who    sat   at  the  feet   of  the 

Scyldings'   lord�察  �unbound   the   battle´runes。��1�А     �Beowulf's   quest�察  �sturdy 

seafarer's�察�sorely galled him�察�ever he envied that other men should more 

achieve in middle´earth of fame under heaven than he himself。  ;Art thou 

that Beowulf�察�Breca's rival�察�who emulous swam on the open sea�察�when for 

pride the pair of you proved the floods�察�and wantonly dared in waters deep 

to   risk   your   lives�拭  �No   living   man�察  �or   lief   or   loath�察 �from   your   labor   dire 

could you dissuade�察�from swimming the main。 Ocean´tides with your arms 

ye covered�察�with strenuous hands the sea´streets measured�察�swam o'er the 

waters。 Winter's storm rolled the rough waves。 In realm of sea a sennight 

strove     ye。  In  swimming       he   topped    thee�察  �had   more    of  main�    �Him     at 

morning´tide billows bore to the Battling Reamas�察�whence he hied to his 

home so dear beloved of his liegemen�察�to land of Brondings�察�fastness fair�察�

where his folk he ruled�察�town and treasure。 In triumph o'er thee Beanstan's 

bairn��2�А  �his   boast   achieved。   So   ween   I   for   thee   a   worse   adventure    

though   in   buffet   of   battle   thou   brave   hast   been�察  �in   struggle   grim�察     �if 

Grendel's approach thou darst await through the watch of night� ─�

     Beowulf spake�察�bairn of Ecgtheow�此  �What a deal hast uttered�察�dear 

my Unferth�察�drunken with beer�察�of Breca now�察�told of his triumph� �Truth I 

claim   it�察  �that   I   had   more   of   might   in   the   sea   than   any   man   else�察  �more 

ocean´endurance。   We   twain   had   talked�察  �in   time   of   youth�察  �and   made   our 

boast�察 �we were merely boys�察�striplings still�察 �to stake our lives far at 

sea�此�and so we performed it。 Naked swords�察�as we swam along�察�we held in 

hand�察�with hope to guard us against the whales。 Not a whit from me could 

he   float   afar   o'er   the   flood   of   waves�察  �haste   o'er   the   billows�察  �nor   him   I 

abandoned。 Together we twain on the tides abode five nights full till the

the   northern   wind   ruthless   rushed   on   us�此  �rough   was   the   surge。   Now   the 

wrath of   the sea´fish   rose apace�察  �yet   me   'gainst the   monsters my  mailed

     ME thus often the evil monsters thronging threatened。 With thrust of 

my sword�察�the darling�察�I dealt them due return� �Nowise had they bliss from 

their   booty    then   to  devour    their  victim�察  �vengeful     creatures�察  �seated   to 

banquet at bottom of sea�察�but at break of day�察�by my brand sore hurt�察�on 

the edge of   ocean up   they lay�察�put   to sleep by the sword。 And since�察�by 

them on the fathomless sea´ways sailor´folk are never molested。  Light 

from east�察�came bright God's beacon�察�the billows sank�察�so that I saw the 

sea´cliffs   high�察  �windy   walls。   For   Wyrd   oft   saveth   earl   undoomed   if   he 

doughty be� �And so it came that I killed with my sword nine of the nicors。 

Of   night´fought   battles   ne'er   heard   I   a   harder   'neath   heaven's   dome�察  �nor 

adrift on the deep a more desolate man� �Yet I came unharmed from that 

hostile clutch�察�though spent with swimming。 The sea upbore me�察�flood of 

the tide�察�on Finnish land�察�the welling waters。 No wise of thee have I heard 

men tell such terror of falchions�察�bitter battle。 Breca ne'er yet�察�not one of 

you pair�察�in the play of war such daring deed has done at all with bloody 

brand�察 �I boast not of it�  �though thou wast the bane��1�А�of thy brethren 

dear�察�thy closest kin�察�whence curse of hell awaits thee�察�well as thy wit may 

serve� �For I say in sooth�察�thou son of Ecglaf�察�never had Grendel these grim 

deeds wrought�察�monster dire�察�on thy master dear�察�in Heorot such havoc�察�if 

heart of thine were as battle´bold as thy boast is loud� �But he has found no 

feud will happen�察�from sword´clash dread of your Danish clan he vaunts 

him safe�察�from the Victor´Scyldings。 He forces pledges�察�favors none of the 

land of Danes�察�but   lustily  murders�察�fights and   feasts�察�nor feud he   dreads 

from  Spear´Dane   men。   But   speedily   now   shall   I   prove   him   the   prowess 

and   pride   of   the   Geats�察  �shall   bid   him   battle。   Blithe   to   mead   go   he   that

Beowulf      hearing�察   �folk's  good    shepherd�察    �such   firm   resolve。   Then    was 

laughter     of   liegemen     loud    resounding      with   winsome      words。     Came 

Wealhtheow   forth�察  �queen   of   Hrothgar�察  �heedful   of   courtesy�察  �gold´decked�察�

the land's beloved one。 Lustily took he banquet and beaker�察�battle´famed

     Through the hall then went the Helmings' Lady�察�to younger and older 

everywhere   carried   the   cup�察  �till   come   the   moment   when   the   ring´graced 

queen�察�the royal´hearted�察�to Beowulf bore the beaker of mead。 She greeted

granted�察�that at last on a hero her hope could lean for comfort in terrors。 

The     cup   he  took�察  �hardy´in´war�察     �from   Wealhtheow's       hand�察   �and   answer 

uttered the eager´for´combat。 Beowulf spake�察�bairn of Ecgtheow�此  �This 

was my thought�察�when my thanes and I bent to the ocean and entered our 

boat�察 �that   I   would   work   the   will   of   your people   fully�察  �or   fighting   fall   in

days of this life of mine in the mead´hall here。; Well these words to the

of   Healfdene   hastened   to   seek   rest   for   the   night�察  �he   knew   there   waited
