The personal qualities that Danes value is bold, trusting, and sincere man.
Explanation:
Beowulf is an epic written in Old English and one of the surviving text of that era. The epic narrates the story of Beowulf, a warrior.
In lines 151-171, the speaker is suggesting the threats that Dane soil has faced. These lines suggests that Danes have faced threats of pirates and raiders trying to sneak their shores to enter into land.
The personal qualities that Danes value is that of boldness, trustworthiness, sincerity, and helpfulness. These qualities can be traced in these lines, when the speaker enquires of the travellers that how did they dared to come to their shores without any permission of any people.
In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.
So, I would say that the ironic parts are:
Exultation is the going
Of an inland soul to sea, -
Past the houses, past the headlands,
<span>Into deep eternity!</span>
