Wiglaf, son of Weohstan, spoke: "Often when one man follows his own will many are hurt. This happened to us. Nothing we advised could ever convince the prince we loved, our land's guardian, not to vex the custodian of the gold, let him lie where he was long accustomed, lurk there under earth until the end of the world. He held to his high destiny. The hoard is laid bare, but at a grave cost; it was too cruel a fate that forced the king to that encounter. I have been inside and seen everything amassed in the vault. I managed to enter although no great welcome awaited me under the earthwall. I quickly gathered up a huge pile of the priceless treasures handpicked from the hoard and carried them here where the king could see them. He was still himself, alive,aware,and in spite of his weakness he had many requests. He wanted me to greet you and order the building of a barrow that would crown the site of his pyre, serve as his memorial, in a commanding position, since of all men to have lived and thrived and lorded it on earth his worth and due as a warrior were the greatest. Now let us again go quickly and feast our eyes on that amazing fortune heaped under the wall. I will show the way and take you close to those coffers packed with rings and bars of gold. Let a bier be made and then let us bring the body of our lord, the man we loved, to where he will lodge for a long time in the care of the almighty"

The son of Weohstan called Wiglaf said "When a guy tries to be all manly people around him get hurt and we know it because it happened to us. We can never convince our lovely prince, who protects us not to annoy the gold protectors and let him rest in peace for it was his destiny and rest under ground until the earth disappears. He helped us a lot, and the gold will be laid with him but at the grave; it was very harsh a fate that made our king to suffer. I saw everything inside where we met. I just went in even though no one welcomed me underground. I quickly made a pile of the useless treasures that we picked from the stack of money and brought here where the king can see them. He didn't really change, he was still alive and aware of his weakness and he asked us to do something. He told me to greet you and buy the barrow that can bring people on the day of his death ceremony, to see him for the last time and remember him and commanding that all men that have to live and respected him he was the best warrior in the world. Now lets move on and go to the ceremony to see the memorial and making the grave. I will take you there and take you to the secret box that has rings and gold bars, make the bier and get ready to go out and we will have to hold the body of our lord, who we loved, to where he will be buried and stay there for a long time with Almighty taking care of it
