beloved co-legeremen-his last salutation:

o brand would i bear, no blade for the dragon,
wist i a way my word-boast to accomplish
else with the monster, as with grendel i did it.
but fire in the battle hot i expect there,
furious flame-burning, so i fixed on my body

ill not flee from a foot-length, the foeman uncanny.
as the wali betall us as fate decreeth,
