Mighty and canny, / Hygelac's kinsman was keenly watching / for the first move the monster would make. / Nor did the creature keep him waiting / but struck suddenly and started in; / he grabbed and mauled a man on his bench, / bit into his bone-lappings, bolted down his blood / and gorged on him in lumps, leaving the body / utterly lifeless, eaten up / hand and foot. Venturing closer, / his talon was raised to attack Beowulf / where he lay on the bed, he was bearing in / with open claw when the alert hero's / comeback and armlock forestalled him utterly. |
