Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 80 words
The fiercest of feuds thy father engaged in, 5 Heatholaf killed he in hand to hand conflict Mid Wilfingish warriors; then the Wederish people For fear of a feud were forced to disown him. Thence flying he fled to the folk of the South Danes, 18 The race of the Scyldings, oer the roll of the waters; 10 I had lately begun then to govern the Danemen, The hoard seat of heroes held in my youth, Rich in its jewels.
