Beowulf · J. Lesslie (John Lesslie) Hall translation

Note 3
XLII. WIGLAF’S SAD STORY.—THE HOARD CARRIED OFF.

For ‘strude’ in H.-So., S. suggests ‘stride.’ This would require ‘ravage’ (v. 16) to be changed to ‘tread.’

ITS PLACE IN THE BOOK

Punished with plagues, who this place should e’er ravage.3
