Beowulf rides at once to the Ring Danes!
Passing the valleys of the mountains, the plains: the hero rides breathless and relentlessly. . .
. . . with his warriors he reaches the edge of Rogar’s drawbridge, whose barons crowned the battlements.
Rogar commands Beowulf to swear obedience and allegiance at the tomb of the recently dead Eteow.
“What will I have to do to serve you?”
"Kill Grendel in his lair and free my imprisoned barons!"
"I promise I will fight: the victory will be in the hands of the Lord!"
All the people acclaim the hero, the acclaim usually given to the ungodly, jealous Rogar. . .
Rogar whispers to Ordlaf: "If he does not die he will avenge his father and usurp my throne ... It is necessary that if he defeats the monster, he does not come back ever again ..."
Ermanic has heard the dark plots of the enemy king and shouts: "Beowulf, warriors, Weder Geats, this undertaking is another betrayal!”
The Geats rise in defense of the hero.
"Ermanic, Beowulf is not afraid of that sin!"
"Well, come to drink a farewell cup ..."
Beowulf sits at the table alone and silent, as Gunnar kneels at his feet. . .
"Cousin. . ."
Beowulf embraces him.
