"Now is the time to show our valor! Let us go and help our chief where the heat is about him, glowing and grim." (Hinds np)
"And in its vault they heaped the hoard - glittering spoils they had taken from the Worm's lair - trusting it to the ground, gold in the earth useless to men as of of yore it was." (Hinds np)
These quotes are from the battle with the dragon. The first is discussing when Beowulf's men go and help fight when they see Beowulf in need. They do not want their king to die so they will do anything to help him. In the second quote, Beowulf dies after he kills the dragon and his men bury him with all the dragon's treasures instead of keeping them and using them to trade, they use them as an honor to Beowulf. This shows that Beowulf had an impact on them and that he was someone that people respected and honored.
