HROTHGAR spake�察 �the Scyldings'´helmet�此 �For fight defensive�察�
Friend my Beowulf�察 �to succor and save�察 �thou hast sought us here。 Thy
father's combat��1�А �a feud enkindled when Heatholaf with hand he slew
among the Wylfings�察�his Weder kin for horror of fighting feared to hold
him。 Fleeing�察 �he sought our South´Dane folk�察 �over surge of ocean the
Honor´Scyldings�察 �when first I was ruling the folk of Danes�察 �wielded�察�
youthful�察�this widespread realm�察�this hoard´hold of heroes。 Heorogar was
dead�察 �my elder brother�察 �had breathed his last�察 �Healfdene's bairn�此 �he was
better than I� �Straightway the feud with fee��2�А �I settled�察�to the Wylfings
sent�察�o'er watery ridges�察�treasures olden�此�oaths he��3�А�swore me。 Sore is my
soul to say to any of the race of man what ruth for me in Heorot Grendel
with hate hath wrought�察 �what sudden harryings。 Hall´folk fail me�察 �my
warriors wane�察�for Wyrd hath swept them into Grendel's grasp。 But God is
able this deadly foe from his deeds to turn� �Boasted full oft�察�as my beer
they drank�察�earls o'er the ale´cup�察�armed men�察�that they would bide in the
beer´hall here�察�Grendel's attack with terror of blades。 Then was this mead´
house at morning tide dyed with gore�察 �when the daylight broke�察 �all the
boards of the benches blood´besprinkled�察�gory the hall�此�I had heroes the
less�察 �doughty dear´ones that death had reft。 But sit to the banquet�察�
unbind thy words�察�hardy hero�察�as heart shall prompt thee。;
Gathered together�察 �the Geatish men in the banquet´hall on bench
assigned�察 �sturdy´spirited�察 �sat them down�察 �hardy´hearted。 A henchman
attended�察 �carried the carven cup in hand�察 �served the clear mead。 Oft
minstrels sang blithe in Heorot。 Heroes revelled�察 �no dearth of warriors�察�
Weder and Dane。
��1�А�There is no irrelevance here。 Hrothgar sees in Beowulf's mission a
heritage of duty�察 �a return of the good offices which the Danish king
rendered to Beowulf's father in time of dire need。 ��2�А�Money�察�for wergild�察�
or man´price。 ��3�А�Ecgtheow�察�Beowulf's sire。

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
flood divided us�察�churning waves and chillest weather�察�darkling night�察�and
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
coat�察�hard and hand´linked�察�help afforded�察 �battle´sark braided my breast
to ward�察 �garnished with gold。 There grasped me firm and haled me to
bottom the hated foe�察�with grimmest gripe。 'Twas granted me�察�though�察�to

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 pr
