Answer:

  • 1. I braved in my youth-days battles unnumbered; Still
  • 4. Wist I a way my word-boast to ’complish Else with the monster, as with Grendel I did it;
  • 6. Furious flame-burning: so I fixed on my body Target and war-mail. The ward of the barrow I’ll not flee from a foot-length, the foeman uncanny. At the wall ’twill befall us as Fate decreeth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beowulf is the main character in an old English poem of the same name. He is a brave character with many heroic deeds under his belt. When he was just a youth, he had already fought so many battles.

He then went to Denmark and saved the people there from a monster named Grendel. In his old age, Beowulf becomes king and his kingdom is attacked by a dragon which he kills. These are the things he brags about above.
