The thing that goes against is purPOSE. What about "I no purpose have without you?"
Both sound good, the first more so; I'm not entirely convinced of 'I no purpose have'.

You bet they did. ^_^ I actually deliberately played up the references in this song, such as the irony of a son of Feanor calling Beren "arrogant" and "dispossessed". Luthien is also throwing a lot of shade with:

Your house is lofty, but this is not your land

Because "lofty" is linguistically a synonym for "uppity", and "this" refers not only to Nargothrond, but to Beleriand itself.

I'm going to work on "Wind" now, but a thought threw itself into my mind: we've (I've) dropped the name of Morgoth a few times, when "the Enemy"/"the Foe" wouldn't scan. It's 100% accurate to the Silm, but... for the purposes of the Musical, is it worth changing it to "Sauron" where possible? Obviously not where there's a connection to the Silmarils, but in contexts of "fight the enemy"...?
