Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 80 words
Beowulf donned then his battle equipments, Cared little for life; inlaid and most ample, The hand woven corslet which could cover his body, 60 Must the wave deeps explore, that war might be powerless To harm the great hero, and the hating ones grasp might Not peril his safety; his head was protected By the light flashing helmet that should mix with the bottoms, Trying the eddies, treasure emblazoned, 65 Encircled with jewels, as in seasons long past The weapon.
