waited with Hrothgar, watching the
flood,that the tossing waters turbid
grew,blood-stained the mere. Old

, Read this excerpt from Beowulf, in B. insulting
which Unferth, one of Hrothgar's
warriors, addresses Beowulf.
Art thou that Beowulf with Breca did
struggle,On the wide sea-currents at
swimming contended,Where to
humor your pride the ocean ye
tried,'Twas mere folly that actuated
you both to risk your lives on the
ocean. From vainest vaunting
adventured your bodies In care of
the waters?...In the water's
possession,Ye toiled for a seven-
night; he at swimming outdid thee,In
strength excelled thee....The pledge
that he made thee Breca outdid you
entirely. The son of Beanstan hath
soothly accomplished.Then I ween
thou wilt find thee less fortunate
issue,Much more will Grendel outdo
you, if you vie with him in prowess.
