Beowulf, lines 43-52
NO LESS WAS LOADED ON HIM THERE
OF THE PEOPLE'S TREASURE THAN THEY GOT WHO
SENT HIM OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE
TO GO ALONE OVER ON THE SEAS
AS A BABY
THEY HOISTED A GOLDEN FLAG
HIGH OVER HIS HEAD AND CUT HIM ADRIFT
GIVEN TO THE OCEAN. THEIR HEART ACHED
THEIR BRAINS HURT
NO MAN CAN KNOW
HOW TO SAY TRUTHFULLY
NO HALL-COUNSELLOR
NO WARRIOR UNDER HEAVEN
WHO FOUND HIM.
