Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 80 words
By cramming discovered.1 The quarrel she wreaked then, That last night igone Grendel thou killedst 15 In grewsomest manner, with grim holding clutches, Since too long he had lessened my liege troop and wasted My folk men so foully. He fell in the battle With forfeit of life, and another has followed, A mighty crime worker, her kinsman avenging, 20 And henceforth hath stablished her hatred unyielding,2 As it well may appear to many a liegeman, Who mourneth in spirit.
