The cup was carried to him, kind words
spoken in welcome and a wealth of wrought gold
graciously bestowed: two arm bangles,
a mail-shirt and rings, and the most resplendent
torque of gold I ever heard tell of
anywhere on earth or under heaven.
– Beowulf, Seamus Heaney (trans.)
Lines 1191-1196: Beowulf is presented with gold, armor and other rewards by King Hroghgar.
