You are SUCH a riot Bethberry!
Let's ask out popinjay critic to translate Beowulf from Anglo-Saxon into modern English shall we? I betcha he can't do it! Tolkien did. Heh, If he were still alive to day I'd write him a sweet little letter saying that it's because of him that I am now learning Anglo-Saxon very well (Even though I get wierd looks when I read Anglo-Saxon dictionaries and Primers).
As for Epic Poetry:
THe lay of Lethien (oh yeah)
Bilbo's song of Earendil (That's a phenomenon in itself)
Legolas' Lay of Niphredil.
ohh! Don't forget Galadreil's Quenya song as the fellowship leaves Lorien, ask anoyone else to write something like that.
The Lament of Gil-Galad, I'll ad mit that one makes me cry every time.
Rotten orc minded fools!
