TWINS UNDER THE STARS
Twins under the Stars, ye are glorious and the cloth of majesty ye have worn,
Your deeds in Arda ever-adamant in memory shall remain, for piety was your guide and the Good never ye have forsworn,
Tears have watered your tale and ill fate was usual guest in your home, as in the somber Hither-Lands ye were born,
It doth give grief and fear, were we to remember the elder times of this world, from whence common remembrance hath departed for sure, albeit being much which thou mayest mourn.
Your lineage is legend among realms, shires and diverse tongues, to which thou shalt hearken wise and fain,
Your father, Twins, were of the family that exile from ever-green fields had sought for, and mighty princes of noble heart they were, busy with war and bent by fatigues, and their strife from our lays is clearly not to wane,
From your magnificent father ye were also endowed with the bloodline of resilient Men, of whom many had been of the most gallant kind and in the opposite side of anything foul they had always lain,
The very father is herald of hope and for the pardon of the Powers the impossible he hath done, voyaging hither and yonder beyond the skies of the world, beside his beloved wife, your gentle mother, whose legacy was the one of the primeval monarch of Doriath and even of an Angel whom we count among the people of the bright Ainur, in the broad and main.
Elros, the passing glory of Men thou hast ultimately chosen, yet never death and decay thou wast to regret, for four centuries were thy reign in the grand Five-pointed Island and of the dominant race thou art forefather of old,
Elrond, the immortal eternity of the Firstborns thou hast elected, unto the ending of Arda within the circles of Eä, and until the world liveth thou shalt live in equal manner, for humanity needeth thy guidance in grim times to befall, while thou dwellest in the holiness of thy enchanted valley, wisest among the Eldar and keeper of ancient lore which is old.
