Grendel reaches Heorot: Beowulf 710–714
Old English verse Liuzza's prose
Ðá cóm of móre     under misthleoþum     Then from the moor, in a blanket of mist,
Grendel gongan·     godes yrre bær·     Grendel came stalking — he bore God's anger;
mynte se mánscaða     manna cynnes     the evil marauder meant to ensnare[a]
sumne besyrwan     in sele þám héan·     some of human-kind in that high hall.
