Remember the speeches we bravely shared At the meadhall tables – we boasted from the benches That we would be heroes, hard-fighting in battle. Now we'll see who's worthy of his vow, Who'll back up his boast in the rush of battle. I will make known my lineage to all of you: I come from a mighty family of Mercians; My grandfather was Ealhelm, a wise nobleman, A lord and landowner.
Genius. Thank for writing that :)
