So. The Spear-Danes in days gone by
and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.
. . .
There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes,
a wrecker of mead-benches, rampaging among foes.

A foundling to start with, he would flourish later on
. . .
In the end each clan on the outlying coasts
beyond the whale-road had to yield to him
and begin to pay tribute. That was one good king.
A.
He was a fierce warrior.
B.
He took pleasure in destruction.
C.
He was disliked by both friends and enemies.
D.
He loathed social gatherings such as feasts.
