No living man, <br>or lief or loath, from your labor dire <br>could you dissuade, from swimming the main. <br>Ocean-tides with your arms ye covered, <br>with strenuous hands the sea-streets measured, <br>swam o'er the waters. Winter's storm <br>rolled the rough waves. In realm of sea <br>a sennight strove ye. In swimming he topped thee, <br>had more of main! Him at morning-tide <br>billows bore to the Battling Reamas, <br>whence he hied to his home so dear <br>beloved of his liegemen, to land of Brondings, <br>fastness fair, where his folk he ruled, <br>town and treasure. In triumph o'er thee <br>Beanstan's bairn his boast achieved. <br>So ween I for thee a worse adventure <br>-- though in buffet of battle thou brave hast been, <br>in struggle grim, -- if Grendel's approach <br>thou darst await through the watch of night!&quot; </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Beowulf spake, bairn of Ecgtheow: -- <br>&quot;What a deal hast uttered, dear my Unferth, <br>drunken with beer, of Breca now, <br>told of his triumph! Truth I claim it, <br>that I had more of might in the sea <br>than any man else, more ocean-endurance. <br>We twain had talked, in time of youth, <br>and made our boast, -- we were merely boys, <br>striplings still, -- to stake our lives <br>far at sea: and so we performed it. <br>Naked swords, as we swam along, <br>we held in hand, with hope to guard us <br>against the whales. Not a whit from me <br>could he float afar o'er the flood of waves, <br>haste o'er the billows; nor him I abandoned. <br>Together we twain on the tides abode <br>five nights full till the flood divided us, <br>churning waves and chillest weather, <br>darkling night, and the northern wind <br>ruthless rushed on us: rough was the surge. <br>Now the wrath of the sea-fish rose apace; <br>yet me 'gainst the monsters my mailed coat, <br>hard and hand-linked, help afforded, -- <br>battle-sark braided my breast to ward, <br>garnished with gold. There grasped me firm <br>and haled me to bottom the hated foe, <br>with grimmest gripe. 'Twas granted me, though, <br>to pierce the monster with point of sword, <br>with blade of battle: huge beast of the sea <br>was whelmed by the hurly through hand of mine. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">&quot;Began the fight.&quot; Breca.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anonymous+Olde+English">Anonymous Olde English</a><div class=q>
