Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 71 words
Ecglafs kinsman minded not soothly, 80 Exulting in strength, what erst he had spoken Drunken with wine, when the weapon he lent to A sword hero bolder; himself did not venture Neath the strife of the currents his life to endanger, 51 To fame deeds perform; there he forfeited glory, 85 Repute for his strength. Not so with the other When he clad in his corslet had equipped him for battle.
