Old English verse | Liuzza's prose |
---|---|
Ðá cóm of móre under misthleoþum | Then from the moor, in a blanket of mist, |
Grendel gongan· godes yrre bær· | Grendel came stalking — he bore God's anger; |
mynte se mánscaða manna cynnes | the evil marauder meant to ensnare[a] |
sumne besyrwan in sele þám héan· | some of human-kind in that high hall. |
