Beowulf - the Funeral of Scyld Scefing
Modern English
The Funeral of Scyld Scefing spoken by Dr Tony Hunt,
St Peter's College, University of Oxford
Forth he fared at the fated moment,
sturdy Scyld to the shelter of God.
Then they bore him over to ocean's billow,
loving clansmen, as late he charged them,
while wielded words the winsome Scyld,
the leader beloved who long had ruled . . .
