Beowulf

So becomes it a youth to quit him well with his father’s friends, by fee and gift, that to aid him, aged, in after days, come warriors willing, should war draw nigh, liegemen loyal: by lauded deeds shall an earl have honor in everyclan.

一个年轻人应该好好地与父亲的朋友相处，通过礼物和恩惠，以便在年老时，当战争来临时，有愿意帮助他的战士，忠诚的臣民：通过被赞扬的行为，一个伯爵将在每个氏族中获得荣誉。

High o’er his head they hoist the standard, a gold-wove banner; let billows take him, gave him to ocean.

他们在他的头顶高高举起一面金丝织成的旗帜；让波涛带走他，将他交给海洋。
