Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 65 words
From vainest vaunting adventured your bodies In care of the waters. And no one was able Nor lief nor loth one, in the least to dissuade you Your difficult voyage; then ye ventured a swimming, 15 Where your arms outstretching the streams ye did cover, The mere ways measured, mixing and stirring them, Glided the ocean; angry the waves were, With the weltering of winter.
