Notes for __Beowulf__

The Images of Grendel:

By the Old English epic //Beowulf//’s Unknown Author’s Cat (Modern English verse translation by the Editor’s Cat)

Brave Beocat, brood kit of Ecgthmeow, Hearth-pet of Hrothgar in whose high halls He mauled without mercy many fat mice, Night did not find napping nor snack-feasting. The wary war-cat, whiskered paw-wielder, Bearer of the burnished neck-belt, gold-braided collar-band, Feller of fleas, fatal, too, to ticks, The work of wonder-smiths, woven with witches’ charms, Sat on the throne-seat his ears like sword-points Upraised, sharp-tipped, listening for peril-sounds, When he heard from the moor-hill howls of the hell-hound, Gruesome hunger-grunts of Grendel’s Great Dane, Deadly doom-mutt, dread demon-dog. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then boasted Beocat, noble battle-kitten, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Bane of barrow-bunnies, bold seeker of nest-booty, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">"If hand of man unhasped the heavy hall-door <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">And freed me to frolic forth to fight the fang-bearing fiend, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I would lay the whelpling low with lethal claw-blows; <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fur would fly and the foe would taste death-food. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">But resounding snooze-noise, stern slumber-thunder, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nose-music of men snoring mead-hammered in the wine-hall, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fills me with sorrow-feeling for Fate does not see fit <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">To send some fingered folk to lift the firm-fastened latch <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">That I might go grapple with the grim ghoul-pooch." <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Thus spake the mouse-shredder, hunter of hall-pests, <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Short-haired Hrodent-slayer, greatest of the pussy-Geats.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> From //Poetry for Cats// by Henry Beard (London: HarperCollins, 1995)
