A throng of sorrows <br>I have borne from Grendel; but God still works <br>wonder on wonder, the Warden-of-Glory. <br>It was but now that I never more <br>for woes that weighed on me waited help <br>long as I lived, when, laved in blood, <br>stood sword-gore-stained this stateliest house, -- <br>widespread woe for wise men all, <br>who had no hope to hinder ever <br>foes infernal and fiendish sprites <br>from havoc in hall. This hero now, <br>by the Wielder's might, a work has done <br>that not all of us erst could ever do <br>by wile and wisdom. Lo, well can she say <br>whoso of women this warrior bore <br>among sons of men, if still she liveth, <br>that the God of the ages was good to her <br>in the birth of her bairn. Now, Beowulf, thee, <br>of heroes best, I shall heartily love <br>as mine own, my son; preserve thou ever <br>this kinship new: thou shalt never lack <br>wealth of the world that I wield as mine! <br>Full oft for less have I largess showered, <br>my precious hoard, on a punier man, <br>less stout in struggle. Thyself hast now <br>fulfilled such deeds, that thy fame shall endure <br>through all the ages. As ever he did, <br>well may the Wielder reward thee still!&quot; <br>Beowulf spake, bairn of Ecgtheow: -- <br>&quot;This work of war most willingly <br>we have fought, this fight, and fearlessly dared <br>force of the foe. Fain, too, were I <br>hadst thou but seen himself, what time <br>the fiend in his trappings tottered to fall! <br>Swiftly, I thought, in strongest gripe <br>on his bed of death to bind him down, <br>that he in the hent of this hand of mine <br>should breathe his last: but he broke away. <br>Him I might not -- the Maker willed not -- <br>hinder from flight, and firm enough hold <br>the life-destroyer: too sturdy was he, <br>the ruthless, in running! For rescue, however, <br>he left behind him his hand in pledge, <br>arm and shoulder; nor aught of help <br>could the cursed one thus procure at all. <br>None the longer liveth he, loathsome fiend, <br>sunk in his sins, but sorrow holds him <br>tightly grasped in gripe of anguish, <br>in baleful bonds, where bide he must, <br>evil outlaw, such awful doom <br>as the Mighty Maker shall mete him out.&quot; </div><div style="margin:10px 0">More silent seemed the son of Ecglaf <br>in boastful speech of his battle-deeds, <br>since athelings all, through the earl's great prowess, <br>beheld that hand, on the high roof gazing, <br>foeman's fingers, -- the forepart of each <br>of the sturdy nails to steel was likest, -- <br>heathen's &quot;hand-spear,&quot; hostile warrior's <br>claw uncanny. 'Twas clear, they said, <br>that him no blade of the brave could touch, <br>how keen soever, or cut away <br>that battle-hand bloody from baneful foe.</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>
