Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 70 words
Mighty achievements, many things hidden, 40 The strife of the Wlsing, the wide going ventures The children of men knew of but little, The feud and the fury, but Fitela with him, When suchlike matters he minded to speak of, Uncle to nephew, as in every contention 45 Each to other was ever devoted. A numerous host of the race of the scathers They had slain with the sword edge.
