THEN sank they to sleep With sorrow one bought	A
his rest of the evening as ofttime had happened	B
when Grendel guarded that golden hall	C
evil wrought till his end drew nigh	D
slaughter for sins 'Twas seen and told	E
how an avenger survived the fiend	F
as was learned afar The livelong time	G
after that grim fight Grendel's mother	H
monster of women mourned her woe	I
She was doomed to dwell in the dreary waters	J
cold sea courses since Cain cut down	K
with edge of the sword his only brother	H
his father's offspring outlawed he fled	L
marked with murder from men's delights	M
warded the wilds There woke from him	N
such fate sent ghosts as Grendel who	O
war wolf horrid at Heorot found	P
a warrior watching and waiting the fray	Q
with whom the grisly one grappled amain	K
But the man remembered his mighty power	H
the glorious gift that God had sent him	N
in his Maker's mercy put his trust	R
for comfort and help so he conquered the foe	I
felled the fiend who fled abject	S
reft of joy to the realms of death	T
mankind's foe And his mother now	K
gloomy and grim would go that quest	U
of sorrow the death of her son to avenge	V
To Heorot came she where helmeted Danes	W
slept in the hall Too soon came back	X
old ills of the earls when in she burst	Y
the mother of Grendel Less grim though that terror	H
e'en as terror of woman in war is less	Z
might of maid than of men in arms	A2
when hammer forged the falchion hard	B2
sword gore stained through swine of the helm	C2
crested with keen blade carves amain	K
Then was in hall the hard edge drawn	K
the swords on the settles and shields a many	K
firm held in hand nor helmet minded	D2
nor harness of mail whom that horror seized	E2
Haste was hers she would hie afar	F2
and save her life when the liegemen saw her	H
Yet a single atheling up she seized	E2
fast and firm as she fled to the moor	G2
He was for Hrothgar of heroes the dearest	R
of trusty vassals betwixt the seas	H2
whom she killed on his couch a clansman famous	I2
in battle brave Nor was Beowulf there	J2
another house had been held apart	K2
after giving of gold for the Geat renowned	P
Uproar filled Heorot the hand all had viewed	L2
blood flecked she bore with her bale was returned	M2
dole in the dwellings 'twas dire exchange	N2
where Dane and Geat were doomed to give	O2
the lives of loved ones Long tried king	P2
the hoary hero at heart was sad	Q2
when he knew his noble no more lived	R2
and dead indeed was his dearest thane	K
To his bower was Beowulf brought in haste	S2
dauntless victor As daylight broke	T2
along with his earls the atheling lord	U2
with his clansmen came where the king abode	V2
waiting to see if the Wielder of All	C
would turn this tale of trouble and woe	I
Strode o'er floor the famed in strife	W2
with his hand companions the hall resounded	V2
wishing to greet the wise old king	P2
Ingwines' lord he asked if the night	V2
had passed in peace to the prince's mind	V2
