Elrond, the herald of Gil-Galad:
"He was not afraid to die, o Brave Sir Gil-Galad.
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Gil-Galad!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken.
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away,
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Gil-Galad!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out,
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged,
And-What!? I'm not going to say that!!"
