I from that onfall bore ever unceasing

Mickle mood-care; herefor be thanks to the Maker,

To the Lord everlasting, that in life I abided,

Yea, that I on that head all sword-gory there,

Now the old strife is over, with eyen should stare.

Go fare thou to settle, the feast-joyance dree thou,

O war-worshipp'd! unto us twain yet there will be

Mickle treasure in common when come is the morning.

Glad of mood then the Geat was, and speedy he gat him

To go see the settle, as the sage one commanded.
