BEOWULFPRELUDE OF THE FOUNDER OF THE DANISH HOUSE
Lo, praise of the prowess of people-kingsof spear-armed Danes, in days long sped, we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore,awing the earls. Since erst he lay friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him:for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve,till before him the folk, both far and near, who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,gave him gifts: a good king he!To him an heir was afterward born,a son in his halls, whom heaven sentto favor the folk, feeling their woethat erst they had lacked an earl for leader
