| Old English verse | Liuzza's prose |
|---|---|
| Ðá cóm of móre under misthleoþum | Then from the moor, in a blanket of mist, |
| Grendel gongan· godes yrre bær· | Grendel came stalking — he bore God's anger; |
| mynte se mánscaða manna cynnes | the evil marauder meant to ensnare[a] |
| sumne besyrwan in sele þám héan· | some of human-kind in that high hall. |
