    The speaker recounts how a brave warrior came to their aid after all hope was lost. The warrior accomplished a deed that the wise ones had previously failed to do by strengthening the folk's defenses against enemies, monsters, and sprites. If the warrior's mother still lives, she can truly thank God for her son, as he displayed great bravery and skill in battle by grappling with a foe, though ultimately the monster escaped, as God did not will the speaker to overcome it.

    Wonder on wonder, Wielder of Glory!

    I had given up all hope, when this brave liegeman came to our aid.
    But lately I reckoned ne’er under heaven
    Comfort to gain me for any of sorrows,
    10
    While the handsomest of houses horrid with bloodstain
    Gory uptowered; grief had offfrightened3
    Each of the wise ones who weened not that ever
    The folk-troop’s defences ’gainst foes they should strengthen,
    ’Gainst sprites and monsters. Through the might of the Wielder
    15
    A doughty retainer hath a deed now accomplished
    Which erstwhile we all with our excellent wisdom
    If his mother yet liveth, well may she thank God for this son.
    Failed to perform. May affirm very truly
    What woman soever in all of the nations
    Gave birth to the child, if yet she surviveth,
    20
    That the long-ruling Lord was lavish to herward
    The enemy’s grapple; I would grant it much rather
    Thou wert able to look at the creature in person,
    Faint unto falling, the foe in his trappings!
    On murder-bed quickly I minded to bind him,
    With firm-holding fetters, that forced by my grapple
    40
    Low he should lie in life-and-death struggle
    ’Less his body escape; I was wholly unable,
    I could not keep the monster from escaping, as God did not will that I should.
