1Then there arose an uproar and the sound of mourning in Heorot.
2Sweet was the minstrel's song, and the warriors were happy in Heorot.
3The king named the hall Heorot, and here was every one made welcome.
4Once more there is joy in Heorot, songs, speeches, the liberal giving of gifts.
5And so the king departed, and silence fell over Heorot.
6The Heorot bees were like small model aeroplanes in flight.
7Hrothgar receives him joyfully, and after a splendid banquet gives Heorot into his charge.
8When dusky night fell over Heorot, the king uprose.
9In honor of the victory, Hrothgar gave to Beowulf many presents and a banquet in Heorot.
10They relieve him of helmet and byrnie, and swing away in a triumphal procession to Heorot.
11Beowulf stated his mission, and he and his companions determined to remain in Heorot all night.
12Great was the sorrow in Heorot when in the morning twilight the deed of Grendel became known.
13Then was there a cry in Heorot.
14Then Beowulf rejoiced at his night's work, wherein he had freed Heorot forever from the fiend's ravages.
15Heorot was left deserted and silent.
16Fair and gracious were the thanks that Hrothgar gave to Beowulf, and great was the feast prepared in Heorot.
