  • Mighty warriors

  • "So Beowulf Chose the mightiest men he could find, The bravest and best of the Geats, fourteen In all, and led them down to their boat; He knew the sea, would point the prow Straight to that distant Danish shore. . .
  • tragic fate of the courages
  • "you have come bravely and are welcome. Now go to him as you are, in your armor and helmets, But leave your battle-shields here, and your spears,Let them lie waiting for the promises your wordsMay make.”
  • Celebration of a hero
  • "he silvery metal of his mail shirt Gleaming with a smith’s high art, he greeted...The Danes’ great lord:... sailors Have brought us stories of Herot, the best Of all mead-halls"
  • "How many times have my men, glowing With courage drawn from too many cups Of ale, sworn to stay after dark And stem that horror with a sweep of their swords... morning, this mead-hall... would be drenched with blood,"
