I don't see the difference between adoration and worship, I'm afraid. I was responding to Lalaith's turn of phrase. But either way, I would stop at "revere and honor"-- and leave out both the adoration and the worship.

My take on Goldberry In Frodo's Eyes has been discussed elsewhere...

For starters, 22 and 5 are related. So are 18 and 14, if remotely.
