Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 54 words
A help unto heroes. Heremod became not 60 Such to the Scyldings, successors of Ecgwela; He grew not to please them, but grievous destruction, 59 And diresome death woes to Danemen attracted; He slew in anger his table companions, Trustworthy counsellors, till he turned off lonely 65 From world joys away, wide famous ruler.
