Beowulf 35

Should I lay down my life in lending thee assistance

HallEnglish
When my earth-joys were over, thou wouldst evermore serve me In stead of a father; my faithful thanemen, My trusty retainers, protect thou and care for, Fall I in battle: and, Hrothgar belovèd,
{and send Higelac the jewels thou hast given me}
