Now men and women came to cleanse the Hall, And soon restored its beauty of design* Its tapestry and gold, its polished wood, Its ivory, its fine mosaic floor, And all the splendor of its furniture, Were made as though the ogre had not lived. LXIV. Then Hrothgar gave to Beowulf a flag With decorated cloth ; a coat-of-mail Inlaid with gold, a fine-wrought silver casque, A jewelled sword, with belt, and spurs of gold ; Eight earls led in eight horses for the youth, Luxuriously saddled and bedight.... Then went the King and brought his own war horse, The finest steed in England, and gave all To Beowulf in gratitude of heart. LXV. The Queen brought Beowulf a velvet robe, And fastened round his neck her carcanet With diamonds more brilliant than the stars. LXVI. Then freaware took Beowulf s great hand, And tried to speak the fulness of her heart ; 66 OF THF f UNIVERSITY J OF ^MTO_Rg^ GRENDEL But found that only tears could tell her thanks* She took a fragrant flower from her breast And gave to him ; and heard his whispered vow That it was far more precious than all else* LXVIL Then all to supper and the mead-cup s mirth* LXVIII* When Hrothgar and his court withdrew for sleep* The knights and men pushed tables to the wall And laid their beds upon the polished floor* Beside them were their good swords and their shields* Their helmets and their coats of ringed mail* They drank themselves to sleep all armed for war; For such the custom of the country was* That sleeping or awake* in court or field* The King s men were prepared to fight his wars* 67 BOOK IV.
