...eant. “Hid” may well mean here “took while in hiding.”
{40b} That is “one and a few others.” But Beowulf seems to be indicated.
{40c} Ten Brink points out the strongly heathen character of this part of the epic. Beowulf’s end came, so the old tradition ran, from his unwitting interference with spell-bound treasure.

...ckless and dangerous!
To court destruction with taunts—with invitations!
To ascend—to leap to the heavens of the love indicated to me!
