*grin* There's an entire series of Greek tragedies with an introduction that says poetry should be translated only by poets. I'm not sure how I feel about that, myself.
I have another two off-the-Internet translations of Beowulf around here somewhere, the "Lo!" version and another one. I would love to be able to read the original. Some day!
