I have meted out judgment and justice; feuds I sought not, nor falsely swore ever on oath. For all these things, though mortally wounded, glad am I. No sin shall keep me from the heavenly company of my forebears. Now our folk may look for waging of war, when to our old foes, the Frisians and Franks, the fall of the King is known. Such is the feud, the hatred of men, I doubt not that the Swedes will seek us out for the fall of their friends, the Scylfings, when once they learn that our lord lies lifeless, who protected us from all dangers. The oaths that I have sworn, these I have kept. Now I pray thee, Wiglaf, go and gaze on the treasure. The Worm lies dead, and that which he guarded for many ages of man is his no more. Go quickly then, for I would fain see this treasure before I die. With better contentment shall I depart, knowing how great are the riches that I have won. Now haste is best, that we go to gaze on our great lord and bear the hero to the funeral pyre, No tokens merely shall burn with him, but wealth of jewels treasure at last with his life obtained - the flames shall eat it. No earl shall carry memorial jewel; no maiden fair shall wreathe her neck. Nay, sad in spirit and shorn of her gold, oft shall she pass o'er paths of exile, now that our lord all laughter has laid aside.]]> 2022-11-22 15:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394385527 drostnat000 https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394387068 2022-11-22 16:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394387068 drostnat000 https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394387466 2022-11-22 16:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394387466 drostnat000 https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394389905 The graphic novel has the ability to show more emotions than a book, but this passage really shows the sorrow that Beowulf is going through, how he knows that he has no kin and his wealth is sure to disappear and his kingdom is no longer safe from the other Scandinavian countries. ]]> 2022-11-22 16:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/drostnat000/5ppmlmrgcwnk77wd/wish/2394389905
