Apologies to the US peeps

Hwæt! We Gárde-
na in geár-dagum, þéod-cyninga
þrym ge-frúnon, hú ðá æþelingas ellen
fre-medon!

-Beowulf, ca. 750 A.D.

You sure that was Beowulf Dalektek?, I think that was the Queen’s speech last Christmas when she’d been knocking back the Queen Mother’s brandy!!!
Anyway, I didn’t understand a word of it, how can Beowulf be a classic when it’s written in Urdu?…can you translate?
