Answer:

This is an excerpt from the epic tale Beowulf, translated by Francis B. Gummere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Beowulf is an epic Anglo-Saxon tale that tells how Heori Beowulf was able to defeat the grendel monster, a cruel demise that was immune to attack by weapons, and his mother who was as cruel and bad as he. Beowulf saved the people from the destruction and dread they experienced when they were under Grendel's yoke, thus achieving, honor, glory and riches.
