Old English
In off the moors, down through the mist bandsGod-cursed Grendel came greedily loping.
The bane of the race of men roamed forth,
hunting for a prey in the high hall.Under the cloud-murk he moved towards it until it shone above him, a sheer keepof fortified gold.

Beowulf in Old English
He saw many men in the mansion, sleeping, a ranked company of kinsmen and warriors quartered together. And his glee was demonic,picturing the mayhem: before morning he would rip life from limb and devour them, feed on their flesh; but his fate that night was due to change, his days of ravening had come to an end.

An Anglo Saxon RiddleOn earth this warrior is strangely born
Of two dumb creatures, drawn gleaming Into the world, bright and useful to men. It is tended, kept, covered by women--
Strong and savage, it serves well, A gentle slave to firm masters
Who mind its measure and feed it fairly With a careful hand. To these it brings Warm blessings; to those who let it run
Wild it brings a grim reward.

An Anglo Saxon RiddleI saw a silvery creature scurrying
Home, as lovely and light as heavenItself, running with stolen treasure
Between its horns. It hoped, by deceitAnd daring and art, to set an arbor There in that soaring castle. Then,
A shining creature, known to everyoneOn earth, climbed the mountains and cliffs,
Rescued his prize, and drove the wilyImposter back to darkness. It fled
To the west, swearing revenge. The morningDust scattered away, dew
Fell, and the night was gone. And no oneKnew where the soft-footed thief had vanished.
