cxc + 444 pp. 3rd revised edition. Klaeber published his edition as "Fr. Klaeber" (not determining between the English form of his name, Frederick, and his birth name, Friedrich). Old English text preceded by very full Introduction and followed by notes, text of The Fight at Finnsburg, notes to the latter, appendices, and glossaries for both poems. Material from the 1928 2nd edition's Supplement has for this edition been incorporated into the above.
The Beowulf text begins:
HWÆT, WĒ GĀR-DEna in gēardagum,
þēodcyninga þrym gefrūnon,
hū ðā æþelingas ellen fremedon!
Oft Scyld Scēfing sceaþena þrēatum,

oð þæt him ǣghwylc ymbsittendra
ofer hronrāde hȳran scolde,

And ends:
Þā ymbe hlǣw riodan hildedēore,
æþelinga bearn, ealra twelfe,
woldon (care) cwīðan, [ond] kyning mǣnan,
wordgyd wrecan, ond ymb w(er) sprecan;
