Sword-bales the deadly at his very own dwelling,

When the grim grip of war Guthlaf and Oslaf

After the sea-fare lamented with sorrow

And wyted him deal of their woes; nor then might he

In his breast hold his wavering heart. Was the hall dight

With the lives of slain foemen, and slain eke was Finn

The King 'midst of his court-men; and there the Queen, taken,

The shooters of the Scyldings ferry'd down to the sea-ships,

And the house-wares and chattels the earth-king had had,

E'en such as at Finn's home there might they find,
