The excerpt you mentioned is from the epic poem "Beowulf." In these lines, Wiglaf addresses his comrades after Beowulf's battle with the dragon. He criticizes them for abandoning their leader in his time of need and describes their inaction.

Wiglaf expresses disappointment in his comrades, emphasizing their failure to support Beowulf when he faced the dragon. He criticizes their inability to fulfill their duties as loyal warriors and implies that they did not live up to the heroic ideals expected of them. This part of the speech highlights Wiglaf's frustration with their cowardice and lack of loyalty during the crucial moment of the battle.
