     ;UNDER harness his heart then is hit indeed by sharpest shafts�察�and no 

shelter avails from foul behest of the hellish fiend。��1�А�Him seems too little 

what long he possessed。 Greedy and grim�察�no golden rings he gives for his 

pride�察�the promised future forgets he and spurns�察�with all God has sent him�察�

Wonder´Wielder�察�of wealth and fame。 Yet in the end it ever comes that the 

frame of the body fragile yields�察�fated falls�察�and there follows another who 

joyously the jewels divides�察�the royal riches�察�nor recks of his forebear。 Ban�察�

then�察�such baleful thoughts�察�Beowulf dearest�察�best of men�察�and the better 

part   choose�察  �profit   eternal�察  �and   temper   thy   pride�察  �warrior   famous�   �The 

flower of thy might lasts now a while�此�but erelong it shall be that sickness 

or sword thy strength shall minish�察�or fang of fire�察�or flooding billow�察�or 

bite of blade�察�or brandished spear�察�or odious age�察�or the eyes' clear beam 

wax dull and darken�此�Death even thee in haste shall o'erwhelm�察�thou hero 

of   war�   �So   the   Ring´Danes   these   half´years   a   hundred   I   ruled�察  �wielded 

'neath    welkin�察   �and   warded    them    bravely    from   mighty´ones      many    o'er 

middle´earth�察�from spear and sword�察�till it seemed for me no foe could be 

found   under   fold   of   the   sky。   Lo�察  �sudden   the   shift�   �To   me   seated   secure 

came grief for joy when Grendel began to harry my home�察�the hellish foe�察�

for those ruthless   raids�察�unresting   I suffered   heart´sorrow heavy。  Heaven 

be thanked�察�Lord Eternal�察�for life extended that I on this head all hewn and 

bloody�察�after long evil�察�with eyes may gaze�  �Go to the bench now� �Be 

glad at banquet�察�warrior worthy� �A wealth of treasure at dawn of day�察�be 

dealt between us� ─�Glad was the Geats' lord�察�going betimes to seek his seat�察�

as the Sage commanded。 Afresh�察�as before�察�for the famed´in´battle�察�for the 

band     of  the  hall�察 �was    a  banquet    dight   nobly    anew。   The    Night´Helm

from far�察�a hall´thane heralded forth�察�who by custom courtly cared for all 

needs of a thane as in those old days warrior´wanderers wont to have。 So 

slumbered the stout´heart。 Stately the hall rose gabled and gilt where the 

guest    slept   on  till  a  raven   black   the   rapture´of´heaven��2�А      �blithe´heart

athelings all were eager homeward forth to fare�察�and far from thence the 

great´hearted     guest  would    guide   his  keel。  Bade    then  the  hardy´one 

Hrunting     be  brought   to  the  son  of  Ecglaf�察 �the  sword   bade   him   take�察�

excellent iron�察�and uttered his thanks for it�察�quoth that he counted it keen 

in battle�察 �war´friend; winsome�此�with words he slandered not edge of the 

blade�此�'twas a big´hearted man� �Now eager for parting and armed at point 

warriors waited�察�while went to his host that Darling of Danes。 The doughty 

atheling to high´seat hastened and Hrothgar greeted。 

    ��1�А�That is�察�he is now undefended by conscience from the temptations 

��shafts�� of the devil。 ��2�А�Kenning for the sun。  This is a strange role for 

the raven。 He is the warrior's bird of battle�察�exults in slaughter and carnage�察�

his joy here is a compliment to the sunrise。

will�察�far´come men�察�that we fain would seek Hygelac now。 We here have 

found hosts to our heart�此�thou hast harbored us well。 If ever on earth I am 

able to win me more of thy love�察�O lord of men�察�aught anew�察�than I now 

have done�察�for work of war I am willing still� �If it come to me ever across 

the seas that neighbor foemen annoy and fright thee�察 �as they that hate 

thee erewhile have used�察 �thousands then of thanes I shall bring�察�heroes 

to help   thee。   Of   Hygelac   I   know�察  �ward   of   his   folk�察  �that�察  �though   few   his 

years�察�the lord of the Geats will give me aid by word and by work�察�that 

well   I   may   serve   thee�察  �wielding   the   war´wood   to   win   thy   triumph   and 

lending thee might when thou lackest men。 If thy Hrethric should come to 

court of Geats�察�a sovran's son�察�he will surely there find his friends。 A far´ 

off   land    each   man    should    visit  who    vaunts    him    brave。;   Him     then 

answering�察�Hrothgar spake�此  �These words of thine the wisest God sent 

to thy soul� �No sager counsel from so young in years e'er yet have I heard。 

Thou art strong of main and in mind art wary�察�art wise in words� �I ween

thine�察 �no seemlier man will the Sea´Geats find at all to choose for their 

chief and king�察�for hoard´guard of heroes�察�if hold thou wilt thy kinsman's 

kingdom� �Thy keen mind pleases me the longer the better�察�Beowulf loved� �

     Thou hast brought it about that both our peoples�察�sons of the Geat and 

Spear´Dane folk�察�shall have mutual peace�察�and from murderous strife�察�such 

as once they waged�察�from war refrain。 Long as I rule this realm so wide�察�

let our hoards be common�察�let heroes with gold each other greet o'er the 

gannet's´bath�察�and the ringed´prow bear o'er rolling waves tokens of love。 I

other again�察�and hear him in hall。 Was this hero so dear to him。 his breast's 

wild billows he banned in vain�察�safe in his soul a secret longing�察�locked in 

his mind�察�for that loved   man burned in   his blood。 Then Beowulf  strode�察�

Hrothgar's gift they lauded at length。  'Twas a lord unpeered�察�every way 

blameless�察�till age had broken  it spareth no mortal  his splendid might。

the latter chance was likely�察�but he clung to the former�察�hoping to see his 

young friend again ;and exchange brave words in the hall。;
