“i remember the time when, tasting the mead-cup,
we promised in the hall the lord of us all
who gave us these ring-treasures, that this battle-equipment,
swords and helmets, we’d certainly quite him,
should need of such aid ever befall him:
how we have forfeited our liegelord’s confidence!
in the war-band he chose us for this journey spontaneously,
stirred us to glory and gave me these jewels,
since he held and esteemed us trust-worthy spearmen,
hardy helm-bearers, though this hero-achievement
our lord intended alone to accomplish,
ward of his people, for most of achievements,
doings audacious, he did among earth-folk.
our lord is in sore need of us.
the day is now come when the ruler of earthmen
needeth the vigor of valiant heroes:
let us wend us towards him, the war-prince to succor,
while the heat yet rageth, horrible fire-fight.”

through the bale-smoke he stalked then,
went under helmet to the of his chieftain,
briefly discoursing: “beowulf dear,
perform thou all fully, as thou formerly saidst,
in thy youthful years, that while yet thou livedst
thou wouldst let thine honor not ever be lessened.
thy life thou shalt save, mighty in actions,
atheling undaunted, with all of thy vigor;
he monster advances on them.
i’ll give thee assistance.”

Read the excerpt from act 1 of a doll's house. helmer: nora! [goes up to her and takes her playfully by the ear.] the same little featherhead! suppose, now, that i borrowed fifty pounds today, and you spent it all in the christmas week, and then on new year's eve a slate fell on my head and killed me, and— nora: [putting her hands over his mouth]. oh! don't say such horrid things. helmer: still, suppose that happened, —what then? nora: if that were to happen, i don't suppose i should care whether i owed money or not. helmer: yes, but what about the people who had lent it? nora: they? who would bother about them? i should not know who they were. helmer: that is like a woman! but seriously, nora, you know what i think about that. no debt, no borrowing. there can be no freedom or beauty about a home life that depends on borrowing and debt. we two have kept bravely on the straight road so far, and we will go on the same way for the short time longer that there need be any struggle. nora: [moving towards the stove]. as you , torvald. how does the interaction between helmer and nora advance the plot? nora realizes that helmer will completely disapprove of her having borrowed money, so she has to continue to keep it a secret from him. nora realizes that she and helmer have the same ideas about financial issues, and the conversation brings them closer together later in the play. helmer realizes that nora is more responsible with money than he originally thought, and he trusts her more with finances later in the play. nora realizes that helmer knows a lot more about borrowing and lending, and she will seek his input later when she needs it.
