A continuation: Hrothgar's decision to build a palace

Then did Hrothgar war succeeding,
Battle shining, him his friends and kinsmen 
Gladly followed till his band of cohorts 
Grew in size much more and to his mind came 
That a palace he would order, built for greatness, 
men have working more than sons of men had ever heard of 
Yes! and there within he'd all give out to 
Young ones and the old which God him gave as 
His, except the public lands and lives of people.
