queen and her crowd of maidens measured the path to the mead´house fair。

his   lays�察  �and   the   epic   resumes     its  story。  The    time´relations     are   not 

altogether good in this long passage which describes the rejoicings of ;the 

day after;�察�but the present shift from the riders on the road to the folk at 

the hall is not very violent�察�and is of a piece with the general style。

     HROTHGAR   spake�察     �to   the   hall   he   went�察  �stood   by   the   steps�察  �the 

steep roof saw�察�garnished with gold�察�and Grendel's hand�此  �For the sight I 

see   to   the   Sovran   Ruler   be   speedy   thanks� �A  throng   of   sorrows   I   have 

borne from Grendel�察�but God still works wonder on wonder�察�the Warden´

no hope to hinder ever foes infernal and fiendish sprites from havoc in hall。 

This hero now�察�by the Wielder's might�察�a work has done that not all of us

such deeds�察�that thy fame shall endure through all the ages。 As ever he did�察�

thought�察�in strongest gripe on his bed of death to bind him down�察�that he in 

the hent of this hand of mine should breathe his last�此�but he broke away。 

Him I   might not      the Maker   willed   not    hinder   from flight�察  �and   firm

                                              XV 



     THERE was hurry and hest in Heorot now for hands to bedeck it�察�and 

dense   was   the   throng   of   men   and   women   the   wine´hall   to   cleanse�察  �the 

guest´room  to   garnish。   Gold´gay   shone   the   hangings   that   were   wove   on 

the wall�察�and wonders many to delight each mortal that looks upon them。 

Though   braced   within   by   iron   bands�察  �that   building   bright   was   broken 

sorely�撮�1�А�rent were its hinges�察�the roof alone held safe and sound�察�when�察�

seared with crime�察�the fiendish foe his flight essayed�察�of life despairing。  

No light thing that�察�the flight for safety�察 �essay it who will� �Forced of fate�察�

he    shall  find   his   way   to   the  refuge    ready   for   race    of  man�察   �for  soul´ 

possessors�察�and sons of earth�察�and there his body on bed of death shall rest 

after revel。 Arrived was the hour when to hall proceeded Healfdene's son�此�

the king himself would sit to banquet。 Ne'er heard I of host in haughtier 

throng     more    graciously      gathered    round     giver´of´rings�     �Bowed      then   to 

bench those bearers´of´glory�察�fain of the feasting。 Featly received many a 

mead´cup   the   mighty´in´spirit�察  �kinsmen   who   sat   in   the   sumptuous   hall�察�

Hrothgar   and   Hrothulf。   Heorot   now   was   filled   with   friends�察  �the   folk   of 

Scyldings ne'er yet had tried the traitor's deed。 To Beowulf gave the bairn 

of   Healfdene   a   gold´wove   banner�察  �guerdon   of   triumph�察  �broidered   battle´ 

flag�察�breastplate and helmet�察�and a splendid sword was seen of many borne 

to   the   brave   one。   Beowulf   took   cup   in   hall�今�2�А  �for   such   costly   gifts   he 

suffered   no   shame   in   that   soldier   throng。   For   I   heard   of   few   heroes�察  �in 

heartier   mood�察  �with   four   such   gifts�察  �so   fashioned   with   gold�察  �on   the   ale´ 

bench   honoring   others   thus�   �O'er   the   roof   of   the   helmet   high�察  �a   ridge�察�

wound with wires�察�kept ward o'er the head�察�lest the relict´of´files��3�А�should 

fierce   invade�察  �sharp   in   the   strife�察  �when   that   shielded   hero   should   go   to 

grapple   against   his   foes。  Then   the   earls'´defence��4�А  �on   the   floor��5�А  �bade 

lead coursers eight�察�with carven head´gear�察�adown the hall�此�one horse was 

decked with a saddle all shining and set in jewels�察�'twas the battle´seat of 

the best of kings�察�when to play of swords the son of Healfdene was fain to 

fare。 Ne'er failed   his valor in   the crush of combat when   corpses fell。 To 

Beowulf over them both then gave the refuge´of´Ingwines right and power�察�

o'er war´steeds and weapons�此�wished him joy of them。 Manfully thus the

mighty prince�察�hoard´guard for heroes�察�that hard fight repaid with steeds 

and treasures contemned by none who is willing to say the sooth aright。 

     ��1�А�There is no horrible inconsistency here such as the critics strive and 

cry about。 In spite of the ruin that Grendel and Beowulf had made within 

the   hall�察  �the   framework   and   roof   held   firm�察  �and   swift   repairs   made   the 

interior   habitable。  Tapestries   were   hung   on   the   walls�察  �and   willing   hands 

prepared the banquet。 ��2�А�From its formal use in other places�察�this phrase�察�

to take cup in hall�察�or ;on the floor�察─�would seem to mean that Beowulf 

stood   up   to   receive   his   gifts�察  �drink   to   the   donor�察  �and   say   thanks。  ��3�А�

Kenning for sword。 ��4�А�Hrothgar。 He is also the ;refuge of the friends of 

Ing�察─�below。 Ing belongs to myth。 ��5�А�Horses are frequently led or ridden 

into the hall where folk sit at banquet�此�so in Chaucer's Squire's tale�察�in the 

ballad of King Estmere�察�and in the romances。
