Actually the form with "did" matches almost exactly the form of one of the lines in "The Flight of the Noldoli:"
Quote:
|
a shuddering fear __ and shapeless night

Perhaps we should drop the "-ly" rather than the "did" to make it match completely the form of the "Tolkienian" verse:
Quote:
|
the tormenting Orcs __ did taunting scorn.
