"No sorga, snotor guma!  Selre bið æghwæm
Grieve not, wise sir. It is always better
þæt he his freond wrece, þonne he fela murne.
to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.
Ure æghwylc sceal ende gebidan
For every one of us, living in this world
worolde lifes; wyrce se þe mote
means waiting for our end. Let whoever can
domes ær deaþe; þæt bið driht-guman
win glory before death. When a warrior is gone
unlifgendum æfter selest."
that will be his best and only bulwark.

-- Beowulf, ll. 1384 - 1390, trans. Seamus Heaney
