Through slaughter-reek strode he to succor his chieftain, his battle-helm bore, and brief words spake: "Beowulf dearest, do all bravely, as in youthful days of yore thou vowedst that while life should last thou wouldst let no wise thy glory droop! Now, great in deeds, atheling steadfast, with all thy strength shield thy life! I will stand to help thee."

- Beowulf
