Question
 
Hey, I picked up the Two Towers yesterday and started reading. I haven't read any LotR in a long time so maybe I'm just forgetting something. In Herbs and Stewed Rabbits, Foromir, Frodo and the rest speak of a rhyme. I don't remember any rhyme. Could some one please clue me in? Thanks.

They speak of the riddle which brought Boromir to Rivendell:

Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spells.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.


Does this ring a bell? I'd add more details, but I haven't got a copy of FotR with me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the riddle. Just one more thing, does any one know where in the book it is?

Book II, Chapter II: The Council of Elrond. Boromir recites it when relating the dream experienced by himself and Faramir.

Ah, thank you, now I remember.
