without/restraint/

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 05-26-2008, 08:34 PM

Melko hath devised undue/_e_t_/, and fires without restraint,
and yet hath not/_r_e_/up thy/_e_i_e/ nor utterly /quelled/the/_u_i_/of thy seas. _a_h_r/_e_o_d/_o_/the/height/and glory of the clouds
and the magic that dwells in mist and vapours;
listen to the whisper of rains upon the earth.

Goldberry1 · 05-27-2008, 02:49 PM

"tests" and "dried" for the first two missing words?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 05-28-2008, 09:41 AM

No to tests but Yes to dried.

***Varnafindë*** · 06-29-2008, 06:41 AM

On the bottom of the last page, Curufin suggested Eru as the speaker. Was she right? (I guess she would be ...)

A few new suggestions:

Melko hath devised undue /heats/, and fires without restraint,
and yet hath not dried up thy/_e_i_e/ nor utterly /quelled/the/_u_i_/of thy
seas. Rather/_e_o_d/for/the/height/and glory of the clouds
and the magic that dwells in mist and vapours;
listen to the whisper of rains upon the earth.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 07-09-2008, 03:43 PM

"heats" and "Rather" are correct but "for" is not.

The speaker is correct. Iluvatar in the text quoted, but Eru is acceptable I think.

***Varnafindë*** · 07-10-2008, 09:03 AM

Rather/behold/now/the/height/and glory of the clouds

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 07-10-2008, 02:58 PM

Very good. Just two more words:
..yet hath not dried up thy/_e_i_e/ nor utterly /quelled/the/_u_i_/of thy
seas...

Curufin · 07-14-2008, 03:56 PM

music

***Varnafindë*** · 07-26-2008, 06:51 PM

I'm not staying away for fear of having to do the next game.
I just honestly don't get the last word.
It is the last one now, isn't it - I guess that Curufin's guess is correct?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 07-28-2008, 08:42 AM

The word "music" is correct.

"...yet hath not dried up thy /_e_i_e/ nor utterly quelled the music of thy
seas..."

One more word. I want to give a hint and I wish I could think of one.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-06-2008, 10:45 AM

Bump for the hint above...

***Earniel*** · 08-06-2008, 04:41 PM

Desire?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-06-2008, 08:44 PM

It is 'desire.' Your go.

***Earniel*** · 08-07-2008, 05:17 AM

Oh, was it the last thing? Very well.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-07-2008, 09:40 AM

I've taken some stabs here that don't seem to make much sense, but it's a start.

Counsel cunning-wise,
O king! Yet if many ever
last not /_h_i_/ power, 'twere well for thee
that never /f_i_e_/his/_r_a_t_y/./
Well now then, but you try while
a /_a_k/_o_m/and a /_a_d_r_n_/will.

***Earniel*** · 08-07-2008, 10:38 AM

Well, you've found the parts that I thought the hardest. Here is what's correct so far:

"Counsel cunning-wise,
O king! Yet if m_n_/e_e_
l_s_/ not /_h_i_/ power, 'twere well for thee
that _e_e_ /f_i_e_/his/_r_a_t_y/./
Well _o_/ t_e_, but _o_/ t_y/ _h_l_/
a /_a_k/_o_m/and a /_a_d_r_n_/w_l_."

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 08-07-2008, 11:54 AM

Third line: lost not their power?
Fifth: but now thy shall?

***Varnafindë*** · 08-07-2008, 01:57 PM

Fourth line: his/errantry ?
