Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 71 words
Biding with Finn the blood tainted winter, 5 Wholly unsundered;1 of fatherland thought he Though unable to drive the ring stemmd vessel 40 Oer the ways of the waters; the wave deeps were tossing, Fought with the wind; winter in ice bonds Closed up the currents, till there came to the dwelling 10 A year in its course, as yet it revolveth, If season propitious one alway regardeth, World cheering weathers.
