[7.] Grendel's mother belongs also to the Eoten (giant) race. She is called brimwylf (sea wolf), merewif (sea woman), grundwyrgen (bottom master), etc.
[8.] From Garnett's Beowulf, ll. 1384-1394.

[10.] Beowulf, ll. 2417-2423, a free rendering.
[11.] Lines 2729-2740, a free rendering.
[12.] Morley's version, ll. 2799-2816.

[14.] Probably to the fourth century, though some parts of the poem must have been added later. Thus the poet says (II. 88-102) that he visited Eormanric, who died cir. 375, and Queen Ealhhild whose father, Eadwin, died cir. 561. The difficulty of fixing a date to the poem is apparent. It contains several references to scenes and characters in Beowulf.
[15.] Lines 135-143 (Morley's version).
[16.] A lyric is a short poem reflecting some personal emotion, like love or grief. Two other Anglo-Saxon poems, "The Wife's Complaint" and "The Husband's Message," belong to this class.
