Beowulf

Blessed is he

who after death

can approach

      The LORD

and find friendship

in the Father's embrace.

Lines 187-188

Beowulf

The Truth is clear

Almighty God rules

over mankind and

always has.

Lines 700-702

Beowulf

...

May one so valiant

and venturesome

come unharmed

through

the clash of battle ... 


Lines 299 - 300

Beowulf

                        ... no weapons, therefore,

for either this night: unarmed he shall face me

if face me he dares. And may the Divine Lord

in His wisdom grant the Glory of Victory

to whichever side He sees fit.
