He said, "The men of the banquet-house rose and cast them down backwards." I said, "Who buried them?" God said, "The men who cast them down." I said, "How came it that they threw them down, and then set marble over them?" God said, "Because the bones cried out, they covered them." And among the grass and weeds I saw an unburied body lying; and I asked God why it was.
And when I looked downward I saw great stones lie shattered; and the desert sand had half covered them over. I said to God, "There is writing on them, but I cannot read it." And God blew aside the desert sand, and I read the writing: "Weighed in the balance, and found " but the last word was wanting. And I said to God, "It was a banquet-house?" God said, "Ay, a banquet-house."
In course of time the banquet-house was built and towered aloft, high and battlemented. Then Hrothgar gave it the name of Heorot, and called his guests to the banquet, and gave them gifts of rings and other treasures; and afterwards every day the joyous sound of revelry rang loud in the hall, with the music of the harp and the clear notes of the singers.
He cried, "For this fair banquet-house we thank thee, Lord." And all the men and women said "We thank thee, Lord." "Thine is this house, dear Lord." "Thine is this house." "For us hast thou made it." "For us." "Oh, fill our jars with wine, dear Lord." "Our jars with wine." "Give peace and plenty in our time, dear Lord."
