cxc + 462 pp. Adds a substantial Supplement to text of 3rd 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, plus new Supplement (445-61) containing additions to notes, bibliography, and glossary.

The Beowulf text begins:

HWÆT, WĒ GĀR-DEna     in gēardagum,
þēodcyninga     þrym gefrūnon,
hū ðā æþelingas     ellen fremedon!

Oft Scyld Scēfing     sceaþena þrēatum,
monegum mǣgþum     meodosetla oftēah,
egsode eorl[as],     syððan ǣrest wearð
fēasceaft funden;     hē þæs frōfre gebād,
wēox under wolcnum     weorðmyndum þāh,
oð þæt him ǣghwylc     ymbsittendra
ofer hronrāde     hȳran scolde,
gomban gyldan;     þæt wæs gōd cyning! (1)

And ends:

Þā ymbe hlǣw riodan     hildedēore,
æþelinga bearn,     ealra twelfe,
woldon (care) cwīðan,     [ond] kyning mǣnan,
wordgyd wrecan,    ond ymb w(er) sprecan;
eahtodan eorlscipe     ond his ellenweorc
duguðum dēmdon,—     swā hit gedē(fe) bið,
þæt mon his winedryhten     wordum herge,
ferhðum frēoge,     þonne hē forð scile
of līchaman     (lǣded) weorðan.
Swā begnornodon     Gēata lēode
hlāfordes (hry)re,     heorðgenēatas;
cwǣdon þæt hē wǣre     wyruldcyning[a]
manna mildust     ond mon(ðw)ǣrust,
lēodum līðost     ond lofgeornost. (119-20)

Fry construes the description "Edited, with Introduction, Bibliography, Notes, Glossary, and Appendices" as part of the book's title.
