"Hero of war" (line 24) is an example of which characteristic of Old English poetry? Beowulf has now defeated Grendel and Grender's mother. Hrothgar is delivering a speech to
Beowulf
"UNDER harness his heart then is hit indeed
by sharpest shafts, and no shelter avails
from foul behest of the hellish fiend.
Him seems too little what long he possessed.
(5) Greedy and grim, no golden rings
he gives for his pride: the promised future
forgets he and spurns, with all God has sent him,
Wonder Wielder, of wealth and fame.
Yet in the end it ever comes
(10) that the frame of the body fragile yields.
fated falls and there follows another
who joyously the jewels divides.
the royal riches, nor recks of his forebear.
Ban then, such baleful thoughts. Beowulf dearest.
(15) best of men, and the better part choose,
profit eternal; and temper thy pride,
warrior famous! The flower of thy might
lasts now a while: but erelong it shall be
that sickness or sword thy strength shall minish,
(20) or fang of fire, or flooding billow,
or bite of blade, or brandished spear,
or odious age: or the eyes' clear beam
wax dull and darken: Death even thee
in haste shall o'erwhelm, thou hero of war!"
