THEN from the moorland by misty crags	A
with God's wrath laden Grendel came	B
The monster was minded of mankind now	C
sundry to seize in the stately house	A
Under welkin he walked till the wine palace there	D
gold hall of men he gladly discerned	E
flashing with fretwork Not first time this	A
that he the home of Hrothgar sought	F
yet ne'er in his life day late or early	G
such hardy heroes such hall thanes found	H
To the house the warrior walked apace	A
parted from peace the portal opended	H
though with forged bolts fast when his fists had	H
struck it	H
and baleful he burst in his blatant rage	I
the house's mouth All hastily then	J
o'er fair paved floor the fiend trod on	K
ireful he strode there streamed from his eyes	A
fearful flashes like flame to see	G
	-
He spied in hall the hero band	H
kin and clansmen clustered asleep	L
hardy liegemen Then laughed his heart	H
for the monster was minded ere morn should dawn	M
savage to sever the soul of each	N
life from body since lusty banquet	H
waited his will But Wyrd forbade him	O
to seize any more of men on earth	P
after that evening Eagerly watched	H
Hygelac's kinsman his cursed foe	Q
how he would fare in fell attack	R
Not that the monster was minded to pause	A
Straightway he seized a sleeping warrior	S
for the first and tore him fiercely asunder	S
the bone frame bit drank blood in streams	A
swallowed him piecemeal swiftly thus	A
the lifeless corse was clear devoured	H
e'en feet and hands Then farther he hied	H
for the hardy hero with hand he grasped	H
felt for the foe with fiendish claw	T
for the hero reclining who clutched it boldly	G
prompt to answer propped on his arm	U
Soon then saw that shepherd of evils	A
that never he met in this middle world	H
in the ways of earth another wight	H
with heavier hand gripe at heart he feared	H
sorrowed in soul none the sooner escaped	H
Fain would he flee his fastness seek	V
the den of devils no doings now	C
such as oft he had done in days of old	H
Then bethought him the hardy Hygelac thane	W
of his boast at evening up he bounded	H
grasped firm his foe whose fingers cracked	H
The fiend made off but the earl close followed	H
The monster meant if he might at all	X
to fling himself free and far away	Y
fly to the fens knew his fingers' power	S
in the gripe of the grim one Gruesome march	Z
to Heorot this monster of harm had made	H
Din filled the room the Danes were bereft	H
castle dwellers and clansmen all	X
earls of their ale Angry were both	A2
those savage hall guards the house resounded	H
Wonder it was the wine hall firm	B2
in the strain of their struggle stood to earth	P
the fair house fell not too fast it was	A
within and without by its iron bands	A
craftily clamped though there crashed from sill	C2
many a mead bench men have told me	G
gay with gold where the grim foes wrestled	H
So well had weened the wisest Scyldings	A
that not ever at all might any man	D2
that bone decked brave house break asunder	S
crush by craft unless clasp of fire	S
in smoke engulfed it Again uprose	A
din redoubled Danes of the North	E2
with fear and frenzy were filled each one	F2
who from the wall that wailing heard	H
God's foe sounding his grisly song	G2
cry of the conquered clamorous pain	W
from captive of hell Too closely held him	O
he who of men in might was strongest	H
in that same day of this our life	H2
