ða com of more | under misthleoþum
Grendel gongan, | godes yrre bær;
mynte se manscaða | manna cynnes
sumne besyrwan | in sele þam hean.
Wod under wolcnum | to þæs þe he winreced,
goldsele gumena, | gearwost wisse,
fættum fahne. | Ne wæs þæt forma sið
þæt he Hroþgares | ham gesohte;
næfre he on aldordagum | ær ne siþðan
heardran hæle, | healðegnas fand.
Com þa to recede | rinc siðian,
dreamum bedæled. | Duru sona onarn,
fyrbendum fæst, | syþðan he hire folmum æthran;
onbræd þa bealohydig, | ða he gebolgen wæs,
recedes muþan. | Raþe æfter þon
on fagne flor | feond treddode,
eode yrremod; | him of eagum stod
ligge gelicost | leoht unfæger.
Geseah he in recede | rinca manige,
swefan sibbegedriht | samod ætgædere,
magorinca heap. | þa his mod ahlog;
mynte þæt he gedælde, | ærþon dæg cwome,
atol aglæca, | anra gehwylces
lif wið lice, | þa him alumpen wæs
wistfylle wen. | Ne wæs þæt wyrd þa gen
þæt he ma moste | manna cynnes
ðicgean ofer þa niht. | þryðswyð beheold
mæg Higelaces, | hu se manscaða
under færgripum | gefaran wolde.
Ne þæt se aglæca | yldan þohte,
ac he gefeng hraðe | forman siðe
slæpendne rinc, | slat unwearnum,
bat banlocan, | blod edrum dranc,
synsnædum swealh; | sona hæfde
unlyfigendes | eal gefeormod,
fet ond folma. | Forð near ætstop,
nam þa mid handa | higeþihtigne
rinc on ræste, | ræhte ongean
feond mid folme; | he onfeng hraþe
inwitþancum | ond wið earm gesæt.
Sona þæt onfunde | fyrena hyrde
þæt he ne mette | middangeardes,
eorþan sceata, | on elran men
mundgripe maran. | He on mode wearð
forht on ferhðe; | no þy ær fram meahte.
Hyge wæs him hinfus, | wolde on heolster fleon,
secan deofla gedræg; | ne wæs his drohtoð þær
swylce he on ealderdagum | ær gemette.
Gemunde þa se goda, | mæg Higelaces,
æfenspræce, | uplang astod
ond him fæste wiðfeng; | fingras burston.
Eoten wæs utweard; | eorl furþur stop.
Mynte se mæra, | þær he meahte swa,
widre gewindan | ond on weg þanon
fleon on fenhopu; | wiste his fingra geweald
on grames grapum. | þæt wæs geocor sið
þæt se hearmscaþa | to Heorute ateah.
Dryhtsele dynede; | Denum eallum wearð,
ceasterbuendum, | cenra gehwylcum,
eorlum ealuscerwen. | Yrre wæron begen,
reþe renweardas. | Reced hlynsode.
þa wæs wundor micel | þæt se winsele
wiðhæfde heaþodeorum, | þæt he on hrusan ne feol,
fæger foldbold; | ac he þæs fæste wæs
innan ond utan | irenbendum
searoþoncum besmiþod. | þær fram sylle abeag
medubenc monig, | mine gefræge,
golde geregnad, | þær þa graman wunnon.
þæs ne wendon ær | witan Scyldinga
þæt hit a mid gemete | manna ænig,
betlic ond banfag, | tobrecan meahte,
listum tolucan, | nymþe liges fæþm
swulge on swaþule. | Sweg up astag
niwe geneahhe; | Norðdenum stod
atelic egesa, | anra gehwylcum
þara þe of wealle | wop gehyrdon,
gryreleoð galan | godes ondsacan,
sigeleasne sang, | sar wanigean

se þe manna wæs | mægene strengest
on þæm dæge | þysses lifes.
