Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem - Unknown ยท 75 words
To Hondscio happened a hopeless contention, Death to the doomed one, dead he fell foremost, 45 Girded war champion; to him Grendel became then, To the vassal distinguished, a tooth weaponed murderer, The well beloved henchmans body all swallowed. Not the earlier off empty of hand did The bloody toothed murderer, mindful of evils, 50 Wish to escape from the gold givers palace, But sturdy of strength he strove to outdo me, Hand ready grappled.
