Summarize: Art thou that Beowulf who
contended with Breca in
swimming on the open sea? 'Twas
indeed foolhardy, yet no man
could turn you from your
adventure. Seven days and nights
ye toiled, one against the other,
but in the end he prevailed, for he
had the greater strength.
The waves cast him ashore on the
land of the Hearthoram, whence
he journeyed back to his own
kingdom. So I predict a worse
adventure for thee - though
doubtless thou art a sturdy warrior
in the shock of battle - if thou
dare to await Grendel's coming
through the watch of night.
