Beowulf.  A shining young warrior has crossed the water and saved the Danish people from a dreadful monster and his scarcely less dreadful mother.  As the Danes honour Beowulf with feasting, gifts and music their aged king offers him some counsel.  Hrothgar has ruled the Danes for fifty years, in times of triumph and adversity, and he wants to make sure his young friend can profit from his own hard-won wisdom.
