Thirteen days he rode, no rest did he take, til a nymphs abode he entered, beside a lake.
Thirteen days he rode, no rest did he take, til a nymphs abode he entered, side 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!”
Came the reply, “Please grant us respite. Long have we traveled; surely see thee our plight!”
“That, I consider, is your case, but to earn my favor, lets 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.
But in a flashing streak, a gallop sleek, rider and horse past the wind did squeak.
In augmented time, back and forth they sped, until at last, fleet elf landed ahead.
In augmented time, back and forth they sped, til 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 nymphs reprieve.
