Grendel reaches Heorot: Beowulf 710–714
Old English verseLiuzza'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
sumne besyrwan     in sele þám héan·    some of human-kind in that high hall.
