Now Beowulf bode in the burg of the Scyldings	A
leader beloved and long he ruled	B
in fame with all folk since his father had gone	C
away from the world till awoke an heir	D
haughty Healfdene who held through life	E
sage and sturdy the Scyldings glad	F
Then one after one there woke to him	G
to the chieftain of clansmen children four	H
Heorogar then Hrothgar then Halga brave	I
and I heard that was 's queen	J
the Heathoscylfing's helpmate dear	K
To Hrothgar was given such glory of war	H
such honor of combat that all his kin	L
obeyed him gladly till great grew his band	M
of youthful comrades It came in his mind	N
to bid his henchmen a hall uprear	H
ia master mead house mightier far	H
than ever was seen by the sons of earth	O
and within it then to old and young	P
he would all allot that the Lord had sent him	G
save only the land and the lives of his men	Q
Wide I heard was the work commanded	R
for many a tribe this mid earth round	S
to fashion the folkstead It fell as he ordered	T
in rapid achievement that ready it stood there	H
of halls the noblest Heorot he named it	U
whose message had might in many a land	M
Not reckless of promise the rings he dealt	V
treasure at banquet there towered the hall	W
high gabled wide the hot surge waiting	X
of furious flame Nor far was that day	Y
when father and son in law stood in feud	Z
for warfare and hatred that woke again	Q
With envy and anger an evil spirit	A2
endured the dole in his dark abode	B2
that he heard each day the din of revel	C2
high in the hall there harps rang out	D2
clear song of the singer He sang who knew	E2
tales of the early time of man	F2
how the Almighty made the earth	O
fairest fields enfolded by water	H
set triumphant sun and moon	G2
for a light to lighten the land dwellers	A
and braided bright the breast of earth	O
with limbs and leaves made life for all	W
of mortal beings that breathe and move	H2
So lived the clansmen in cheer and revel	C2
a winsome life till one began	F2
to fashion evils that field of hell	I2
Grendel this monster grim was called	J2
march riever mighty in moorland living	X
in fen and fastness fief of the giants	A
the hapless wight a while had kept	K2
since the Creator his exile doomed	L2
On kin of Cain was the killing avenged	M2
by sovran God for slaughtered Abel	C2
Ill fared his feud and far was he driven	N2
for the slaughter's sake from sight of men	Q
Of Cain awoke all that woful breed	O2
Etins and elves and evil spirits	A
as well as the giants that warred with God	P2
weary while but their wage was paid them	Q2
