Which character is described in these lines?


"The man-ruler famous,

The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful,

Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen,

When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer,

The spirit accursed: too crushing that sorrow,

Too loathsome and lasting."


Beowulf

Grendel

Hrothgar
