HROTHGAR spake helmet of Scyldings	A
Ask not of pleasure Pain is renewed	B
to Danish folk Dead is Aeschere	C
of Yrmenlaf the elder brother	C
my sage adviser and stay in council	D
shoulder comrade in stress of fight	E
when warriors clashed and we warded our heads	A
hewed the helm boars hero famed	F
should be every earl as Aeschere was	A
But here in Heorot a hand hath slain him	G
of wandering death sprite I wot not whither	C
proud of the prey her path she took	H
fain of her fill The feud she avenged	I
that yesternight unyieldingly	D
Grendel in grimmest grasp thou killedst	I
seeing how long these liegemen mine	J
he ruined and ravaged Reft of life	K
in arms he fell Now another comes	A
keen and cruel her kin to avenge	L
faring far in feud of blood	I
so that many a thane shall think who e'er	C
sorrows in soul for that sharer of rings	A
this is hardest of heart bales The hand lies low	D
that once was willing each wish to please	A
Land dwellers here and liegemen mine	J
who house by those parts I have heard relate	I
that such a pair they have sometimes seen	M
march stalkers mighty the moorland haunting	N
wandering spirits one of them seemed	I
so far as my folk could fairly judge	O
of womankind and one accursed	I
in man's guise trod the misery track	P
of exile though huger than human bulk	Q
Grendel in days long gone they named him	G
folk of the land his father they knew not	I
nor any brood that was born to him	G
of treacherous spirits Untrod is their home	R
by wolf cliffs haunt they and windy headlands	A
fenways fearful where flows the stream	S
from mountains gliding to gloom of the rocks	A
underground flood Not far is it hence	A
in measure of miles that the mere expands	A
and o'er it the frost bound forest hanging	N
sturdily rooted shadows the wave	T
By night is a wonder weird to see	A
fire on the waters So wise lived none	U
of the sons of men to search those depths	A
Nay though the heath rover harried by dogs	A
the horn proud hart this holt should seek	V
long distance driven his dear life first	I
on the brink he yields ere he brave the plunge	W
to hide his head 'tis no happy place	A
Thence the welter of waters washes up	X
wan to welkin when winds bestir	C
evil storms and air grows dusk	Y
and the heavens weep Now is help once more	C
with thee alone The land thou knowst not	I
place of fear where thou findest out	I
that sin flecked being Seek if thou dare	C
I will reward thee for waging this fight	I
with ancient treasure as erst I did	I
with winding gold if thou winnest back	P
