Oh no, yeah, in his last years Tolkien did a complete 180 on this, he changed a bunch of Silm stuff to be explicitly anti-England. The most obvious was Angband > England, but we also have Gothmog > George III and Morgoth > Elizabeth I for some reason. It's all there in NoME; part 2, I think.
Anyway!
One is ancient, ever-new
One lurks deep in shadow black
One came from stone and stone followed
One rides high but falls swift
One lies low amid the loam
But which am I?
Yeah I can't make it rhyme, sorry. (That's not a clue.)
