“Attend

Across the gannets bath came the men of the north
To the caves of Redhoof, home of the green orc.
Seeking vengeance for the neck of Wiglaf
For the pain to the hearthman

Grendel the Mighty, foe of the green orc
Struck down Slowslunk, brought him low to the earth
It was but the start of the accounting.
Waels the Proud, Waels the violent
Inspired by the claws of Grendel the reaver
Drove Groth from the field, laid him on the sward.
Next stood Yrmenlaf, beloved of Beowulf
Witter Dwarfeater was fed to the turf
Was driven to the ground.
Big Fat Pete stood his ground,
All who opposed him were laid upon the turf
Up came Grendel, Full of woe
Pete stood before him Hard under helmet
Grim of purpose, Each laid the other low
Grendel was Stunned, but his claw struck true
Big Fat Pete fell, to rise no more.
Next proud Yrmenlaf Laid Hurf low
Brought him to his knees
Yrmenlaf exulted in the victory
Eofor and Hrothgar brothers in victory
Each scoring, each held in equal esteem.
The skalds will sing of this victory
In the Hall of Herot
