Something New under the Sun

“Then a thane of Hrothgar who was skilled in word and song, who knew the lays of olden days, sang new words truly bound, began to sound in story all the glory-feat of Beowulf. He stirred his phrases wisely, mixing rhythm with the words, and told a wonder-tale...” Beowulf, 867b-874a.
