THE fall of his lord he was fain to requite	A
in after days and to Eadgils he proved	A
friend to the friendless and forces sent	A
over the sea to the son of Ohtere	B
weapons and warriors well repaid he	C
those care paths cold when the king he slew	D
Thus safe through struggles the son of Ecgtheow	E
had passed a plenty through perils dire	B
with daring deeds till this day was come	F
that doomed him now with the dragon to strive	G
With comrades eleven the lord of Geats	H
swollen in rage went seeking the dragon	I
He had heard whence all the harm arose	H
and the killing of clansmen that cup of price	H
on the lap of the lord had been laid by the finder	B
In the throng was this one thirteenth man	J
starter of all the strife and ill	K
care laden captive cringing thence	H
forced and reluctant he led them on	L
till he came in ken of that cavern hall	M
the barrow delved near billowy surges	H
flood of ocean Within 'twas full	N
of wire gold and jewels a jealous warden	I
warrior trusty the treasures held	A
lurked in his lair Not light the task	O
of entrance for any of earth born men	P
Sat on the headland the hero king	Q
spake words of hail to his hearth companions	H
gold friend of Geats All gloomy his soul	R
wavering death bound Wyrd full nigh	S
stood ready to greet the gray haired man	J
to seize his soul hoard sunder apart	A
life and body Not long would be	C
the warrior's spirit enwound with flesh	T
Beowulf spake the bairn of Ecgtheow	E
Through store of struggles I strove in youth	E
mighty feuds I mind them all	M
I was seven years old when the sovran of rings	H
friend of his folk from my father took me	C
had me and held me Hrethel the king	Q
with food and fee faithful in kinship	U
Ne'er while I lived there he loathlier found me	C
bairn in the burg than his birthright sons	H
Herebeald and Haethcyn and Hygelac mine	V
For the eldest of these by unmeet chance	H
by kinsman's deed was the death bed strewn	W
when Haethcyn killed him with horny bow	X
his own dear liege laid low with an arrow	B
missed the mark and his mate shot down	Y
one brother the other with bloody shaft	A
A feeless fight and a fearful sin	Z
horror to Hrethel yet hard as it was	H
unavenged must the atheling die	S
Too awful it is for an aged man	J
to bide and bear that his bairn so young	A2
rides on the gallows A rime he makes	H
sorrow song for his son there hanging	Q
as rapture of ravens no rescue now	X
can come from the old disabled man	J
Still is he minded as morning breaks	H
of the heir gone elsewhere another he hopes not	A
he will bide to see his burg within	Z
as ward for his wealth now the one has found	A
doom of death that the deed incurred	A
Forlorn he looks on the lodge of his son	I
wine hall waste and wind swept chambers	H
reft of revel The rider sleepeth	E
the hero far hidden no harp resounds	H
in the courts no wassail as once was heard	A
