Ic him þenode
Deoran sweorde, swa hit gedefe wæs
Næs hie ðære fylle gefean hæfdon,
...fean hæfdon
Manfordædlan, þæt hie me þegon
Symbel ymbsæton sægrunde neah
Ac on mergenne mecum wunde
Ac on mergenne mecum wunde
Be yðlafe uppe lægon
Sweordum aswefede
MIT Translation pf Beowulf (https://www.mit.edu/~jrising/webres/beowulf.pdf):
560 With thrust of my sword,
the darling, I dealt them due return!
Nowise had they bliss from their booty then
to devour their victim, vengeful creatures,
seated to banquet at bottom of sea;
but at break of day, by my brand sore hurt,
on the edge of ocean up they lay,
put to sleep by the sword.

897 The dragon died in its blood.
Thus had the dread-one by daring achieved
over the ring-hoard...
The dragon died in its blood.
Thus had the dread-one by daring achieved
over the ring-hoard...
to rule at will
himself to pleasure
a sea-boat he loaded
and bore on its bosom the beaming gold,
son of Waels
