breast�察�and fain was the rover�察�the guest�察�to depart�察�though more gladly he
pondered on wreaking his vengeance than roaming the deep�察�and how to
hasten the hot encounter where sons of the Frisians were sure to be。 So he
escaped not the common doom�察 �when Hun with ;Lafing�察─ �the light´of´
battle�察 �best of blades�察 �his bosom pierced�此 �its edge was famed with the
Frisian earls。 On fierce´heart Finn there fell likewise�察�on himself at home�察�
the horrid sword´death�察 �for Guthlaf and Oslaf of grim attack had
sorrowing told�察 �from sea´ways landed�察 �mourning their woes。��1�А �Finn's
wavering spirit bode not in breast。 The burg was reddened with blood of
foemen�察�and Finn was slain�察�king amid clansmen�察�the queen was taken。 To
their ship the Scylding warriors bore all the chattels the chieftain owned�察�
whatever they found in Finn's domain of gems and jewels。 The gentle wife
o'er paths of the deep to the Danes they bore�察�led to her land。 The lay was
finished�察 �the gleeman's song。 Then glad rose the revel�察 �bench´joy
brightened。 Bearers draw from their ;wonder´vats; wine。 Comes
Wealhtheow forth�察�under gold´crown goes where the good pair sit�察�uncle
and nephew�察 �true each to the other one�察 �kindred in amity。 Unferth the
spokesman at the Scylding lord's feet sat�此�men had faith in his spirit�察�his
keenness of courage�察�though kinsmen had found him unsure at the sword´
play。 The Scylding queen spoke�此 �Quaff of this cup�察 �my king and lord�察�
breaker of rings�察�and blithe be thou�察�gold´friend of men�察�to the Geats here
speak such words of mildness as man should use。 Be glad with thy Geats�察�
of those gifts be mindful�察�or near or far�察�which now thou hast。
Men say to me�察 �as son thou wishest yon hero to hold。 Thy Heorot

and leave to thy kin folk and realm when forth thou goest to greet thy
doom。 For gracious I deem my Hrothulf�撮�2�А�willing to hold and rule nobly
our youths�察�if thou yield up first�察�prince of Scyldings�察�thy part in the world。
I ween with good he will well requite offspring of ours�察�when all he minds

honor� ─�Then she turned to the seat where her sons wereplaced�察�Hrethric

attack on Hnaef�察 �the slaying of Hengest�察 �and all the Danish woes。

Nephew to Hrothgar�察 �with whom he subsequently quarrels�察 �and elder
cousin to the two young sons of Hrothgar and Wealhtheow�察 �their natural
guardian in the event of the king's death。 There is something finely
feminine in this speech of Wealhtheow's�察�apart from its somewhat irregular
and irrelevant sequence of topics。 Both she and her lord probably distrust
Hrothulf�察 �but she bids the king to be of good cheer�察 �and�察 �turning to the
suspect�察�heaps affectionate assurances on his probity。 ;My own Hrothulf;
will surely not forget these favors and benefits of the past�察�but will repay
them to the orphaned boy。

A CUP she gave him�察 �with kindly greeting and winsome words。 Of
wounden gold�察�she offered�察�to honor him�察�arm´jewels twain�察�corselet and
rings�察�and of collars the noblest that ever I knew the earth around。 Ne'er
heard I so mighty�察 �'neath heaven's dome�察 �a hoard´gem of heroes�察 �since
Hama bore to his bright´built burg the Brisings' necklace�察�jewel and gem

Geat�察�grandson of Swerting�察�on the last of his raids this ring bore with him�察�
under his banner the booty defending�察 �the war´spoil warding�察 �but Wyrd
o'erwhelmed him what time�察�in his daring�察�dangers he sought�察�feud with
Frisians。 Fairest of gems he bore with him over the beaker´of´waves�察�
sovran strong�此 �under shield he died。 Fell the corpse of the king into
keeping of Franks�察 �gear of the breast�察 �and that gorgeous ring�察 �weaker
warriors won the spoil�察�after gripe of battle�察�from Geatland's lord�察�and held
the death´field。 Din rose in hall。 Wealhtheow spake amid warriors�察 �and
said�此 �This jewel enjoy in thy jocund youth�察�Beowulf lov'd�察�these battle´
weeds wear�察�a royal treasure�察�and richly thrive� �Preserve thy strength�察�and
these striplings here counsel in kindness�此�requital be mine。 Hast done such
deeds�察�that for days to come thou art famed among folk both far and near�察�
so wide as washeth the wave of Ocean his windy walls。 Through the ways
of life prosper�察�O prince� �I pray for thee rich possessions。 To son of mine
be helpful in deed and uphold his joys� �Here every earl to the other is true�察�

come�察�and Hrothgar homeward hasten away�察�royal�察�to rest。 The room was
guarded by an army of earls�察 �as erst was done。 They bared the bench´
boards�察 �abroad they spread beds and bolsters。 One beer´carouser in
danger of doom lay down in the hall。
At their heads they set their shields of war�察 �bucklers bright�察 �on the
bench were there over each atheling�察�easy to see�察�the high battle´helmet�察�

THEN sank they to sleep。 With sorrow one bought his rest of the
evening�察 �as ofttime had happened when Grendel guarded that golden
hall�察�evil wrought�察�till his end drew nigh�察�slaughter for sins。 'Twas seen and
told how an avenger survived the fiend�察�as was learned afar。 The livelong
time after that grim fight�察�Grendel's mother�察�monster of women�察�mourned
her woe。 She was doomed to dwell in the dreary waters�察�cold sea´courses�察�
since Cain cut down with edge of the sword his only brother�察�his father's
offspring�此 �outlawed he fled�察 �marked with murder�察 �from men's delights

Grendel�察 �who�察 �war´wolf horrid�察 �at Heorot found a warrior watching and
waiting the fray�察�with whom the grisly one grappled amain。 But the man
remembered his mighty power�察�the glorious gift that God had sent him�察�in
his Maker's mercy put his trust for comfort and help�此�so he conquered the
foe�察�felled the fiend�察�who fled abject�察�reft of joy�察�to the realms of death�察�
mankind's foe。 And his mother now�察�gloomy and grim�察�would go that quest
of sorrow�察 �the death of her son to avenge。 To Heorot came she�察 �where
helmeted Danes slept in the hall。 Too soon came back old ills of the earls�察�
when in she burst�察�the mother of Grendel。 Less grim�察�though�察�that terror�察�
