|
||||
Thirteen days he rode, no rest did he take, ‘til a nymph’s abode he entered, beside a lake.

“Lo, Narya!” Came a cry of glee, “Spy thee yonder apple tree?”
|
||||
The response, a neigh, she jumped with delight, then set off in a canter spright.
|
||||
Not a moment passed ‘ere a gusting blast, blew all around, an airy voice cast:
|
||||
“Hold there, thee elf, this grove is mine — no fruit shall I yield you, nor your equine.”
|
||||
Came the reply, “Please grant us respite. Long have we traveled; surely you see our plight!”

“That, I consider, is your case, but to earn my favor, let’s have a race.”
|
||||
To this, the rider did consent, and toward the tree, off they went.
|
||||
A howl, a rush, a flying gale, the wind left the rider back on its tail.
|
||||

|
||||
In augmented time, back and forth they sped, until at last, fleet elf landed ahead.

“Well done,” spake the sprite, as she blew in, “my grace I shall grant thee and all of your kin.”
|

Beirand and Narya thus took their leave, carrying forevermore, the nymph’s reprieve.
