BEOWULF (Prologue in Old English)

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum, þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon,

hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon. Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,

5 monegum mægþum,         meodosetla ofteah,

egsode eorlas.         Syððan ærest wearð feasceaft funden,         he þæs frofre gebad,

weox under wolcnum,         weorðmyndum þah, oðþæt him æghwylc         þara ymbsittendra

10 ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,

gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning! Ðæm eafera wæs         æfter cenned,

geong in geardum,         þone god sende folce to frofre;         fyrenðearfe ongeat

15 þe hie ær drugon         aldorlease

lange hwile.         Him þæs liffrea, wuldres wealdend,         woroldare forgeaf;

Beowulf wæs breme         (blæd wide sprang), Scyldes eafera         Scedelandum in.

Swa sceal geong guma         gode gewyrcean, fromum feohgiftum         on fæder bearme,

þæt hine on ylde         eft gewunigen wilgesiþas,         þonne wig cume,

þenden wordum weold         wine Scyldinga; leof landfruma         lange ahte.
