The ring-hall bright-beaming. Have joy while thou mayest

In many a meed, and unto thy kinsmen

Leave folk and dominion, when forth thou must fare

To look on the Maker's own making. I know now

My Hrothulf the gladsome, that he this young man

Will hold in all honour if thou now before him,

O friend of the Scyldings, shall fare from the world;

I ween that good-will yet this man will be yielding

To our offspring that after us be, if he mind him

Of all that which we two, for good-will and for worship,
