Ye Gods who girt your guarded realms

with moveless pinnacles, mountains pathless,
o'er shrouded shores sheer uprising
of the Bay of Fary on the borders of the World!
Ye Men unmindful of the mirth of yore,
wars and weeping in the worlds of old,
of Morgoth's might remembering nought!
Lo! Hear what Elves with ancient harps,
lingering forlorn in lands untrodden,
fading faintly down forest pathways,
in shadowy isles on the Shadowy Seas,
sing still in sorrow of the son of Hrin,
how his webs of doom were woven dark
with Niniel's sorrow: names most mournful.

A! Hrin Thalion in the hosts of battle

was whelmed in war, when the white banners
of the ruined king were rent with spears,
in blood beaten; when the blazing helm
of Finweg fell in flame of swords,
and his gleaming armies' gold and silver
shields were shaken, shining emblems
in darkling tide of dire hatred,
the cruel Glamroth's countless legions,
were lost and foundered their light was quenched!
That field yet now the folk name it
Nirnaith Ornoth, Unnumbered Tears:
the seven chieftans of the sons of Men
fled there and fought not, the folk of the Elves
betrayed with treason. Their troth alone
unmoved unremembered in the mouths of Hell
Thalion Erithmrod and his thanes renowned.
Torn and trampled the triple standard
of the house of Hithlum was heaped with slain.
In host upon host from the hills swarming
with hideous arms the hungry Orcs
enmeshed his might, and marred with wounds
pulled down the proud Prince of Mithrim.
At Bauglir's bidding they bound him living;
to the halls of Hell neath the hills builded,
to the Mountains of Iron, mournful, gloomy,
they led the lord of the Lands of Mist,
Hrin Thalion, to the throne of hate
in halls upheld with huge pillars
of black basalt. There bats wandered,
worms and serpents enwound the columns;
there Bauglirs breast was burned within
with blazing rage, baulked of purpose:
from his trap had broken Turgon the mighty,
Fingolfin's son; Fanor's children,
the makers of the magic and immortal gems.
For Hrin standing storm unheeding
unbent in battle, with bitter laughter
his axe wielded as eagles wings
the sound of its sweep, swinging deadly;
as livid lightning it leaped and fell,
as toppling trunks of trees riven
his foes had fallen. Thus fought he on,
where blades were blunted and in blood foundered
the Men of Mithrim; thus a moment stemmed
with sad remnant the raging surge

of ruthless Orcs, and the rear guarded,

that Turgon the terrible towering in anger
a pathway clove with pale falchion
from swirling slaughter. Yea! his swath was plain
through the hosts of Hell, as hay that is laid
on the lea in lines, where long and keen
goes sweeping scythe. Thus seven kindreds,
a countless company, that king guided
through darkened dales and drear mountains
out of the ken of his foes he comes no more
in the tale of Trin. Triumph of Morgoth
thus to doubt was turned, dreams of vengeance,
thus his mind was moved with malice fathomless,
thoughts of darkness, when the Thalion stood
bound unbending, in his black dungeon.

Pent i Chr 'oeol Angbanda: Thala Hrin,

Ah ista i enethen, egor boe narannen

Said the dread Lord of Hell: Dauntless Hrin,

stout, steel-handed, stands before me
yet quick a captive, as a coward might be!
Then he knows my name, or needs be told
what hope he has in the halls of iron?
The bale most bitter, Balrogs' torment!

Then Hrin answered, Hithlums chieftain

his shining eyes with sheen of fire
in wrath were reddened: O ruinous one,
by fear unfettered I have fought thee long,
nor dread thee now, not thy demon slaves,
fiends and phantoms, thou foe of Gods!
His dark tresses, drenched and tangled,
that fell o'er his face he flung backward,
in the eye he looked of the evil Lord
since that day of dread to dare his glance
has no mortal Man had might of soul.
There the mind of Hrin in a mist of dark
neath gaze unfathomed groped and foundered,
yet his heart yielded not nor his haughty pride.
But Lungorthin Lord of Balrogs
on the mouth smote him, and Morgoth smiled:
Nay, fear when thou feelest, and when the flames lick thee
and the whistling whips thy white body
and wilting flesh weal and torture!
Then hung they helpless Hurin dauntless
in chains by fell enchantments forged
that with fiery anguish his flesh devoured,
yet loosed not lips locked in silence
to pray for pity. Thus prisoned saw he
on the sable walls the sultry glare
of far-off fires fiercely burning
down deep corridors and dark archways
in the blind abysses of those bottomless halls;
the throb and thunder of the thudding forges
brazen clangour; belched and spouted
flaming furnaces; their faces sad
through the glooms glided as the gloating Orcs
their captives herded under cruel lashes.
Many a hopeless glance on Hrin fell,
for his fearless torment many tears were spilled.

Lo! Morgoth remembered the mighty doom,

the weird of old, that the Elves in woe,
in ruin and wrack by the reckless hearts
of mortal Men should be enmeshed at last;
that treason alone of trusted friend
should master the magic whose mazes wrapped
the children of Cr, cheating his purpose,
from defeat fending Fingolfin's son,
Turgon the terrible, and the troth brethren
the sons of Fanor, and secret, far,
homes hid darkly in the hoar forest
where Thingol was throned in the Thousand Caves.
Then the Lord of Hell lying-hearted
to where Hurin hung hastened swiftly,
and the Balrogs about him brazen-handed
with flails of flame and forged iron
there laughed as they looked on his lonely woe;
but Bauglir said: O bravest of Men,
'tis fate unfitting for thus fellhanded
warrier warfain that to worthless friends
his sword he should sell, who seek no more
to free him from fetters or his fall avenge.
While shrinking in the shadows they shake fearful
in the hungry hills hiding outcast
their league belying, lurking faithless,
he by evil lot in everlasting
dungeons droopeth doomed to torment
and anguish endless. That thy arms unchained
I had fainer far should a falchion keen
or axe with edge eager flaming
wield in warfare where the wind bloweth
the banners of battle such a brand as might
in my sounding smithies on the smitten anvil
of glowing steel to glad thy soul
be forged and fashioned, yea, and fair harness
and mail unmatched than that marred with flails
my mercy waiving thou shouldst moan enchained
neath the brazen Balrogs' burning scourges:
who art worthy to win reward and honour
as a captain of arms when cloven is mail
and shields are shorn, when they shake the hosts
of their foes like fire in fell onset.
Lo! receive my service; forswear hatred,
ancient enmity thus ill-counselled
I am a mild master who remembers well
his servants' deeds. A sword of terror
thy hand should hold, and a high lordship
as Bauglir's champion, chief of Balrogs,
to lead o'er the lands my loud armies,
whose royal array I already furnish;
on Turgon the troll (who turned to flight
and left thee alone, now leaguered fast
in waterless wastes and weary mountains)
my wrath to wreak, and on redhanded
robber-Gnomes, rebels, and roaming Elves,
that forlorn witness the Lord of the World
defy in their folly they shall feel my might.
I will bid men unbind thee, and thy body comfort!
Go follow their footsteps with fire and steel,
with thy sword go search their secret dwellings;
when in triumph victorious thou returnest hither,
I have hoards unthought of. But Hurin Thalion
suffered no longer silent wordless;

Avo garo in estilin ln na delu Bauglir;

through clenched teeth in clinging pain,

O accursed king, cried unwavering,
thy hopes build not so high Bauglir;
no tool am I for thy treasons vile,
who tryst not troth ever true holdest
seek traitors elsewhere.

Th danannant dangweth
Morgoth bessannen i noeth n dornen:
Althann, penindas gi sf; i nautheg mista;

Then returned answer

Morgoth amazed his mood hiding:
Nay, madness holds thee; thy mind wanders;
my measureless hoards are mountains high
in places secret piled uncounted
agelong unopened; Elfin silver
and gold in the gloom there glister pale;
the gems and jewels once jealous warded
in the mansions of the Gods, who mourn them yet,
are mine, and a meed I will mete thee thence
of wealth to glut the Worm of Greed.

A Hrin, glingol, pent dangweth dhelu:

Polodh 'elio os i ist n ir tiridh po 'd,

Then Hurin, hanging, in hate answered:

Canst not learn of thy lore when thou look'st on a foe,
O Bauglir unblest? Bray no longer
of the things thou hast thieved from the Three Kindreds!
In hate I hold thee. Thou art humbled indeed
and thy might is minished if thy murderous hope
and cruel counsels on a captive sad
must wait, on a weak and weary man.
To the hosts of Hell his head then he turned:
Let thy foul banners go forth to battle,
ye Balrogs and Orcs; let your black legions
go seek the sweeping sword of Turgon.
Through the dismal dales you shall be driven wailing
like startled starlings from the stooks of wheat.
Minions miserable of master base,
your doom dread ye, dire disaster!
The tide shall turn; your triumph brief
and victory shall vanish. I view afar
the wrath of the Gods roused in anger.
Then tumult awoke, a tempest wild
in rage roaring that rocked the walls;
consuming madness seized on Morgoth,
yet with lowered voice and leering mouth
thus Thalion Erithmrod he threatened darkly:
Thou hast said it! See how my swift purpose
shall march to its mark unmarred of thee,
nor thy aid be asked, overweening
mortal mightless. I command thee gaze
on my deeds of power dreadly proven.
Yet if little they like thee, thou must look thereon
helpless to hinder or thy hand to raise,
and thy lidless eyes lit with anguish
shall not shut for ever, shorn of slumber
like the Gods shall gaze there grim, tearless,
on the might of Morgoth and the meed he deals
to fools who refuse fealty gracious.

Na Thangorodrim i Thalion tungen,

To Thangorodrim was the Thalion borne,

that mountain that meets the misty skies
on high over the hills that Hithlum sees
blackly brooding on the borders of the North.
There stretched on the stone of steepest peak
in bonds unbreakable they bound him living;

there the lord of woe in laughter stood,

there cursed him for ever and his kindred all
that should walk and wander in woes shadow
to a doom of death and dreadful end.
There the mighty man unmoved sat,
but unveiled was his vision that he viewed afar
with eyes enchanted all earthly things,
and the weird of woe woven darkly
that fell on his folk a fiend's torment.
