"My lord, the conquering king of the Danes,

bids me announce that he knows your ancestry;

also that he welcomes you here to Heorot

and salutes your arrival from across the sea.

You are free to move forward

to meet Hrothgar, in helmets and armour,

but shields must stay here and spears be stacked

until the outcome of the audience is clear."
