  12. From Beowulf Pg. 647 All of that race from the earth. I swam In the blackness of night, hunting monsters Out of the ocean, and killing them one By one; death was my errand and the fate They had earned. Now Grendel and I are called Together, and I’ve come. Grant me, then,  Lord and protector of this noble place, A single request! I have come so far, Oh shelterer of warriors and your people’s loved friend, That this one favor you should not refuse me— That I, alone and with the help of my men, May purge all evil from this hall. I have heard, Too, that the monster’s scorn of men Is so great that he needs no weapons and fears none. Nor will I. My lord Higlac  Might think less of me if I let my sword Go where my feet were afraid to, if I hid Behind some broad linden shield: My hands Alone shall fight for me, struggle for life Against the monster. God must decide Who will be given to death’s cold grip.  “Hail, Hrothgar!  Higlac is my cousin and my king; the days  Of my youth have been filled with glory. Now Grendel’s  Name has echoed in our land: Sailors Have brought us stories of Herot, the best  Of all mead-halls, deserted and useless when the moon   Hangs in skies the sun had lit,  Light and life fleeing together.  My people have said, the wisest, most knowing  And best of them, that my duty was to go to the Danes’   Great king. They have seen my strength for themselves,  Have watched me rise from the darkness of war,  Dripping with my enemies’ blood. I drove  Five great giants into chains, chased
