...the people’s hall to his heirs,
as does a prosperous man when he departs this life. (ll. 2462b-70)
“Then there was bad blood and strife between the Swedes
and the Geats across the wide water, a common quarrel,
a stern army-conflict, after Hrethel died,
until the sons of Ongentheow became bold and battle-brave,
not wishing to keep their treaties across the sea,
but near Misery Hill, they often waged a terrible
and devious shearing. My kindred allies were avenged

lift of a surprised eyebrow or perhaps from a razor blade
- wings now the shade of early twilight now of state
bad blood.
Now the place is abuzz with trading
in your ankles's remanants bronzes
of sunburnt breastplates dying laughter bruises
rumors of fresh reserves memories of high treason
laundered banners with imprints of the many
who since have risen.
All's overgrown with people. A ruin's a rather stubborn
architectural style. And the hearts's distin...Read more of this...

Still set to scratch a laughter from my lung,
I would not fear the apple nor the flood
Nor the bad blood of spring.

Young Hal went from one to the other,
Telling each as be thought he were right,
And mixing the pudding he roused the bad blood in
Them both till they reckoned they'd fight.
So Will got his army together
And planned an invasion of France,
But HaI chanced to find out what Will had in mind
And sent Robert a line in advance.
The result were when Bill crossed the Channel,
Instead of t'surprise that were meant,
He was met on the shore by Duke Bob and his Normans.
And came b...Read more of this...
