Beowulf maþelode, | bearn Ecgþeowes:
"Ne sorga, snotor guma; | selre bið æghwæm
þæt he his freond wrece, | þonne he fela murne.
Ure æghwylc sceal | ende gebidan
worolde lifes; | wyrce se þe mote
domes ær deaþe; | þæt bið drihtguman

Aris, rices weard, | uton raþe feran
Grendles magan | gang sceawigan.
Ic hit þe gehate, | no he on helm losaþ,
ne on foldan fæþm, | ne on fyrgenholt,
ne on gyfenes grund, | ga þær he wille.
ðys dogor þu | geþyld hafa
weana gehwylces, | swa ic þe wene to."
Ahleop ða se gomela, | gode þancode,

Ofereode þa | æþelinga bearn
steap stanhliðo, | stige nearwe,

He feara sum | beforan gengde

Flod blode weol | (folc to sægon),
hatan heolfre. | Horn stundum song
fuslic fyrdleoð. | Feþa eal gesæt.
Gesawon ða æfter wætere | wyrmcynnes fela,
sellice sædracan, | sund cunnian,
swylce on næshleoðum | nicras licgean,
ða on undernmæl | oft bewitigað
sorhfulne sið | on seglrade,

sundes þe sænra, | ðe hyne swylt fornam.
Hræþe wearð on yðum | mid eoferspreotum

Scolde herebyrne | hondum gebroden,

syðþan he hine to guðe | gegyred hæfde.
