Uuh, I've never done this before...

... let's give a try...

Look over the pond: you see boundary and behind it one sheep standing, followed by the first of nightingales




EDIT: I'm going away for about ten days, so you'll have to wait till I come back...

Pipe Wild guesswork

At first glance I'd say it's Linaewen. A ewe is obviously there, followed by the first of 'nightingales' (n), but I'm still not sure where the boundary comes from. The whole, of course, is Sindarin for 'Lake of Birds'. One might call it a pond at a pinch.

Wild Guesswork? I'm sure you're dead on, Squatter.
For one thing, boundary could be 'line' (or if needed, 'lin') which fits quite nicely with your answer.

Bilbo's Mithril coat?

MItril more valuable than jewels
and it is mined from the earth Worldly

And unsuitable....
for choral piece... oh I got this one the elf king sasy "Bilbo you are more worthy to wear that suit than some that have looked more comely in it"

Unsuitable for choral piece or more great persons the greater of course being those in great tales and songs "Choral piece"

Mithril Coat
