Kennedy's translation of Beowulf is presented in its entirety, after very brief introductory notes on Old English literature (115-16) and on Beowulf itself (116).

The translation begins:

[The Danish Court and the Raids of Grendel]

Lo! The Old English section is preceded by Early Celtic and Early Anglo-Latin sections, and is followed by sections on Later Celtic, Later Latin, Medieval Literary Theory, French, and Middle English.

    And ends:

    Then round the mound rode the brave in battle,
    The sons of warriors, twelve in a band,
    Bemoaning their sorrow and mourning their king.
    They sang their dirge and spoke of the hero
    Vaunting his valor and venturous deeds.
    So is it proper a man should praise
    His friendly lord with a loving heart,
    When his soul must forth from the fleeting flesh.
    So the folk of the Geats, the friends of his hearth,
    Bemoaned the fall of their mighty lord;
    Said he was kindest of worldly kings,
    Mildest, most gentle, most eager for fame.

A good king he!

we have listened to many a lay
Of the Spear-Danes' fame, their splendor of old,
Their mighty princes, and martial deeds!
Many a mead-hall Scyld, son of Sceaf,
Snatched from the forces of savage foes.
From a friendless foundling, feeble and wretched,
He grew to a terror as time brought change.
He throve under heaven in power and pride
Till alien peoples beyond the ocean
Paid toll and tribute.
