| Will you go back to your hole and swear, on your honour as a firedrake, to listen quietly? |
| But, fast as the Remora stole forward, the firedrake came quicker yet, flying and clashing his fiery wings. |
| He declined to say exactly where or how he killed the firedrake. |
| Then off he flew, and soon he reached the volcano of the firedrake. |
| Therefore to send me after the firedrake were both dangerous and unnecessary. |
| In the poem, Beowulf fights a firedrake that has been destroying the area. |
