But a warrior of Hygelac’s heard of Grendel’s doings; he was the strongest of men alive in that day‚ mighty and noble. That man called for a ship‚ said he would cross the ocean and help the king who needed help. Wise men urged him to that adventure though he was dear to them. They examined omens and whetted him on.
