Tolkien goes Shakespeare

[Lyra Greenleaf]

what the heck, its been done before, but Aragorn and Arwen as Romeo and Juliet 2!

Aragorn: O Arwen, Arwen, wherefore art thou Arwen?
Deny thy father and refuse thy kindred
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer live in exile.

Arwen: Shall I hear more or shall I speak at this?

Aragorn: 'Tis but thy immortality that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though of the fairer kindred,
What's immortality? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to your self. O be another kindred.
What's in a kindred? He who we know as Fingon
Where he a man he would be valiant still.
So Arwen, were she of mortal-kind
She would still perfection show.


Arwen: I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love and I'll forego my grace,
And henceforth be a mortal maid.
