Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 80 words
Since Hama off bore the Brosingmens necklace, The bracteates and jewels, from the bright shining city,1 Eormenrics cunning craftiness fled from, 10 Chose gain everlasting. Geatish Higelac, Grandson of Swerting, last had this jewel When tramping neath banner the treasure he guarded, The field spoil defended; Fate offcarried him When for deeds of daring he endured tribulation, 15 Hate from the Frisians; the ornaments bare he Oer the cup of the currents, costly gem treasures, Mighty folk leader, he fell.
