hoary hero�察�at heart was sad when he knew his noble no more lived�察�and
dead indeed was his dearest thane。 To his bower was Beowulf brought in
haste�察�dauntless victor。 As daylight broke�察�along with his earls the atheling
lord�察�with his clansmen�察�came where the king abode waiting to see if the
Wielder´of´All would turn this tale of trouble and woe。 Strode o'er floor
the famed´in´strife�察 �with his hand´companions�察 �the hall resounded�察 �
wishing to greet the wise old king�察 �Ingwines' lord�察�he asked if the night
had passed in peace to the prince's mind。

HROTHGAR spake�察 �helmet´of´Scyldings�此 �Ask not of pleasure� �
Pain is renewed to Danish folk。 Dead is Aeschere�察�of Yrmenlaf the elder
brother�察�my sage adviser and stay in council�察�shoulder´comrade in stress of
fight when warriors clashed and we warded our heads�察�hewed the helm´
boars�察 �hero famed should be every earl as Aeschere was� �But here in
Heorot a hand hath slain him of wandering death´sprite。 I wot not
whither�撮�1�А�proud of the prey�察�her path she took�察�fain of her fill。 The feud
she avenged that yesternight�察 �unyieldingly�察 �Grendel in grimmest grasp
thou killedst�察 �seeing how long these liegemen mine he ruined and
ravaged。 Reft of life�察�in arms he fell。 Now another comes�察�keen and cruel�察�
her kin to avenge�察�faring far in feud of blood�此�so that many a thane shall
think�察�who e'er sorrows in soul for that sharer of rings�察�this is hardest of
heart´bales。 The hand lies low that once was willing each wish to please。
Land´dwellers here��2�А �and liegemen mine�察 �who house by those parts�察 �I
have heard relate that such a pair they have sometimes seen�察 �march´
stalkers mighty the moorland haunting�察 �wandering spirits�此 �one of them
seemed�察 �so far as my folk could fairly judge�察 �of womankind�察 �and one�察�
accursed�察�in man's guise trod the misery´track of exile�察�though huger than
human bulk。 Grendel in days long gone they named him�察�folk of the land�察�
his father they knew not�察 �nor any brood that was born to him of
treacherous spirits。 Untrod is their home�察 �by wolf´cliffs haunt they and
windy headlands�察�fenways fearful�察�where flows the stream from mountains
gliding to gloom of the rocks�察 �underground flood。 Not far is it hence in
measure of miles that the mere expands�察�and o'er it the frost´bound forest
hanging�察�sturdily rooted�察�shadows the wave。 By night is a wonder weird to
see�察�fire on the waters。 So wise lived none of the sons of men�察�to search
those depths� �Nay�察�though the heath´rover�察�harried by dogs�察�the horn´proud
hart�察�this holt should seek�察�long distance driven�察�his dear life first on the
brink he yields ere he brave the plunge to hide his head�此 �'tis no happy
place� �Thence the welter of waters washes up wan to welkin when winds
bestir evil storms�察�and air grows dusk�察�and the heavens weep。 Now is help
once more with thee alone� �The land thou knowst not�察�place of fear�察�where

thee�察 �for waging this fight�察 �with ancient treasure�察 �as erst I did�察 �with
winding gold�察�if thou winnest back。;
��1�А �He surmises presently where she is。 ��2�А �The connection is not
difficult。 The words of mourning�察�of acute grief�察�are said�察�and according to
Germanic sequence of thought�察�inexorable here�察�the next and only topic is
revenge。 But is it possible�拭�Hrothgar leads up to his appeal and promise
with a skillful and often effective description of the horrors which
surround the monster's home and await the attempt of an avenging foe。

BEOWULF spake�察�bairn of Ecgtheow�此 �Sorrow not�察�sage� �It beseems
us better friends to avenge than fruitlessly mourn them。 Each of us all
must his end abide in the ways of the world�察�so win who may glory ere
death� �When his days are told�察�that is the warrior's worthiest doom。 Rise�察�
O realm´warder� �Ride we anon�察 �and mark the trail of the mother of
Grendel。 No harbor shall hide her heed my promise� �enfolding of field
or forested mountain or floor of the flood�察�let her flee where she will� �But
thou this day endure in patience�察�as I ween thou wilt�察�thy woes each one。;
Leaped up the graybeard�此 �God he thanked�察 �mighty Lord�察 �for the man's
brave words。 For Hrothgar soon a horse was saddled wave´maned steed。
The sovran wise stately rode on�察�his shield´armed men followed in force。
The footprints led along the woodland�察�widely seen�察�a path o'er the plain�察�
where she passed�察�and trod the murky moor�察�of men´at´arms she bore the
bravest and best one�察�dead�察�him who with Hrothgar the homestead ruled。
On then went the atheling´born o'er stone´cliffs steep and strait defiles�察�
narrow passes and unknown ways�察�headlands sheer�察�and the haunts of the
Nicors。 Foremost he��1�А�fared�察�a few at his side of the wiser men�察�the ways
to scan�察 �till he found in a flash the forested hill hanging over the hoary
rock�察 �a woful wood�此 �the waves below were dyed in blood。 The Danish
men had sorrow of soul�察�and for Scyldings all�察�for many a hero�察�'twas hard
to bear�察�ill for earls�察�when Aeschere's head they found by the flood on the
foreland there。 Waves were welling�察�the warriors saw�察�hot with blood�察�but
the horn sang oft battle´song bold。 The band sat down�察�and watched on the
water worm´like things�察 �sea´dragons strange that sounded the deep�察 �and
nicors that lay on the ledge of the ness such as oft essay at hour of morn
on the road´of´sails their ruthless quest�察 �and sea´snakes and monsters。
These started away�察�swollen and savage that song to hear�察�that war´horn's
blast。 The warden of Geats�察 �with bolt from bow�察 �then balked of life�察 �of
wave´work�察�one monster�察�amid its heart went the keen war´shaft�察�in water
it seemed less doughty in swimming whom death had seized。 Swift on the
billows�察�with boar´spears well hooked and barbed�察�it was hard beset�察�done
to death and dragged on the headland�察�wave´roamer wondrous。 Warriors

mourned for his life。 His breastplate broad and bright of hues�察�woven by
hand�察 �should the waters try�察 �well could it ward the warrior's body that
battle should break on his breast in vain nor harm his heart by the hand of
a foe。 And the helmet white that his head protected was destined to dare
