! [[Old English]] verse !! Morris's translation
|-
| Ðá cóm of móre &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; under misthleoþum || &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Came then from the moor-land, all under the mist-bents,
|-
| Grendel gongan· &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; godes yrre bær· || &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grendel a-going there, bearing God's anger.
|-
| mynte se mánscaða &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; manna cynnes || &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The scather the ill one was minded of mankind
|-
| sumne besyrwan &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in sele þám héan· || &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To have one in his toils from the high hall aloft.
