To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor humble her ways, 1930 nor grudged she gifts to the Geatish men, of precious treasure. Not Thryth's pride showed she, folk-queen famed, or that fell deceit.
Was none so daring that durst make bold (save her lord alone) of the liegemen dear 1936 that lady full in the face to look, but forged fetters he found his lot, bonds of death I And brief the respite; soon as they seized him, his sword-doom was spoken, and the burnished blade a baleful murder 1940 proclaimed and closed. No queenly way fo...r woman to practise, though peerless she, that the weaver-of -peace ^ from warrior dear Englische Studien, xxxix, 108 f ., seems a most happy solution of the prob- lem presented hy this passage. The old emendation, — But Thrytho proved, folk-queen fearsome, fell and cruel . . .
was rejected by recent editors because Thrytho is not a likely form of the name. Reading as the translation reads, one has a most likely bit of praise by negative, in the usual manner of this poet, for Hygd, who did not show the cruelty and haughtiness of Thryth, the legendary wife of Off a, king of the Continental Angles.
