Quote 1
"Be acclaimed for strength, for kindly guidance
to these two boys, and your bounty will be sure." (1219-1220)
In this passage, Queen Wealhtheow praises Beowulf for defeating Grendel and asks him to remember the rights of her sons in the Danish kingdom. It's particularly interesting that Wealhtheow equates "strength" with "kindly guidance" – apparently being a strong man and being a wise one are pretty closely associated in this culture.
