Read the passage from Beowulf.
At last for the Danemen,
When the slaughter was over, their wish was
accomplished.
The comer-from-far-land had cleansed then of evil,
Wise and valiant, the war-hall of Hrothgar,
Saved it from violence. He joyed in the night-work,
In repute for prowess; the prince of the Geatmen
For the East-Danish people his boast had
accomplished,
Bettered their burdensome bale-sorrows fully . . .
