Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 70 words
25 Oer the ale vessel promised warriors in armor They would willingly wait on the wassailing benches A grapple with Grendel, with grimmest of edges. Then this mead hall at morning with murder was reeking, The building was bloody at breaking of daylight, 30 The bench deals all flooded, dripping and bloodied, The folk hall was gory. I had fewer retainers, Dear beloved warriors, whom death had laid hold of.
