Beowulf It Down!
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft dining on whole wheat bread
cooked buffalo taken from squadroned foes,
Since erst he lay, condimentless,
Nor fruits that so pose
till before him the folk, both far and near,
who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate,
gave him gifts: a good king he!
But yet to be paid for the Ebayed (tm) thing.
