I am under the impression that the lines of the Ring Verse, except the line on the Ring itself, were the creations of the elves after the fact, not actually said by Sauron.
And the Nazgul's bodies didn't rot away: they faded into the wraith world, still being existent as was Frodo's when he wore the Ring.
