"Grendel attacked during the night. Following an evening of mead drinking, the
Danish warriorswere fast asleep. Grendel seized thirty of them, then carried
them back to his lair. At dawn the survivors discovered their great loss. They
saw the monster's tracks leading away from Heorot, but it was too late to save
his victims. These loathsome attacks continued for twelve winters. Night after
night Grendel haunted the misty moors, pursuing his victims. Nor was anyone
safe in Heorot, where he attacked at will. Many of the grief-stricken Danes,
seeing no other source of help, returned to their old heathen faith. Woe unto
him who thus rejects the Lord."
