Then Taur-na-Fuin entangled my feet / in its mazes enmeshed; and madness took me / that I wandered witless, unwary stumbling / and beating the boles of the brooding pines / in idle anger -- and the Orcs heard me. / They were camped in a clearing, that close at hand / by mercy I missed. Their marching road / is beaten broad through the black shadows / by wizardry warded from wandering Elves; / but dread they know of the Deadly Nightshade, / and in haste only do they hie that way.

for by him [Túrin] was holden the hand of ruin / from Thingol's folk, and Thû feared him -- / Thû who was thronéd as thane most mighty / neath Morgoth Bauglir; whom that mighty one bade / 'Go ravage the realm of the robber Thingol, / and mar the magic of Melian the Queen.'

Thus his [Túrin's] prowess was proven and his praise was noised / and beyond his years he was yielded honour, / for by him was holden the hand of ruin / from Thingol's folk, and Thû feared him, / and wide wandered the word of Túrin: / 'Lo! we deemed as dead the dragon of the North, / but high o'er the host its head uprises, / its wings are spread! Who has waked this spirit / and the flame kindled of its fiery jaws? / Or is Húrin of Hithlum from Hell broken?' / And Thû who was throned as thane mightiest / neath Morgoth Bauglir, whom that master bade / 'go ravage the realm of the robber Thingol / and mar the magic of Melian the Queen', / even Thû feared him, and his thanes trembled.
