I didn't even realize until I saw this how much this parallels Beren's accusation to Finrod. I guess Thingol doesn't use quite the same words as Beren to describe the countless joy in Russian, but
still. No wonder Beren is so bitter: "you're just like Thingol!"

Is it a "slow sing" on the second line? I think I got to a scansion that works if Line 2 loses it's flurry.
If you want it to have the flurry back, though, all you have to do is add some syllables to Line 3, "and with my dear wife". Depends on how tongue twisty it sounds.

Ooooo, ouch. It's not just her fancy on the table anymore. No wonder Thingol is so ****ed off.

perfect. The rock of ever-calm wisdom.

If I am reading it correctly, I am getting FI-re AND wa-TER. What about FIRE and WA-ter COOL (clear? cold?)? --- assuming I read that correctly.
Hahaha Thingol ranting about Beren! Perfect! And another brilliant Melian to follow.

So we know that love can be stronger than rules.

I just had a snarky thought about how snarky Melian would be if she outright said "You should know that love etc".
But I think her character is a little more neutral and respectful. She doesn't get snarky unfortunately.
