An excellent atheling! After was borne himA son is born to him, who receives the name of Beowulf—a name afterwards made so famous by the hero of the poem.

Whom God-Father sent to solace the people. He had marked the misery malice had caused them, That reaved of their rulers they wretched had erstwhile Long been afflicted. The Lord, in requital, Wielder of Glory, with world-honor blessed him. Famed was Beowulf, far spread the glorySource(s)
