07:00 - Line 1302 - Grief; Hrothgar tells Beowulf of Aeschere's death by Grendel's mother; Hrothgar describes haunt of monsters - a fearful mere; Hrothgar asks for Beowulf's help - promises him rich gifts; Beowulf comforts Hrothgar; We must die: best die in fame; Beowulf vows there will be no refuge for the monster
11:36 - Line 1399 - Hrothgar follows Grendel's tracks. Beowulf accompanies him; They find Aeschere's head on a cliff by the mere; The troop watch the water monsters in the mere; Beowulf shoots one with an arrow; it is then killed with boar-spears and dragged from the mere
