They have seen my strength for themselves, Have watched me rise from the darkness of war, Dripping with my enemies' blood. I drove Five great giants into chains, chased All of that race from the earth. I swam In the blackness of night, hunting monsters Out of the ocean, and killing them one By one; death was my errand and the fate They had earned."

Still body, clutched at Beowulf with his claws,

Grasped at a strong-hearted wakeful sleeper

That shepherd of evil, guardian of crime, Knew at once that nowhere on earth

Had he met a man whose hands were harder

But Higlac's follower remembered his final Boast

and, standing erect, stopped

The monsters flight

Of him who of all the men on earth

Was the strongest.

That mighty protector of men

Had been served as he'd boasted he'd serve them: Beowulf, a prince of the geats, had killed Grendel, Ended the grief, the sorrow, the suffering

Day and night the two of you struggled in the grip of the icy ocean. But Breca reached home before you. You won't last long if you dare to wait for Grendel to meet him face to face.'
