Ring-a-ling-a-ding-dong!

Has anyone set that poem to music? It's just the sort of thing I would expect to hear at a good pub (just like in the book). Sort of a celtic thing with guitars, drums and penny whistles, etc?

Sauron was become now a sorcerer of dreadful power, master of shadows and of phantoms, foul in wisdom, cruel in strength, misshaping what he touched, twisting what he ruled, lord of werewolves; his dominion was torment.
Silmarillion, Ch. 18 Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin

Beorn, the Were-bear.

He changes his skin: sometimes he is a huge black bear, sometimes he is a great strong black-haired man with huge arms and a great beard.
Gandalf on Beorn.

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
No, that's not what I'm looking for! You didn't really think I was looking for something this obvious and simple, were you? As far as I know, does the term "were-bear" never appear, does it?

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Is the mighty Pyan on the ropes?!?!?!?

Stay tuned, kids. Same bat-time. Same bat-channel.

Personally, I have no idea. This one's a bit remote for me.

But when Elwe awoke from his long trance, he came forth from Nan Elmoth with Melian, and they dwelt thereafter in the woods in the midst of the land. ... His people gathered about him in joy, and they were amazed; for fair and noble as he had been, now he appeared as if it were a lord of the Maiar, his hair as grey silver, tallest of all the Children of Iluvatar; and a high doom was before him.

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Like a hammer?

Quote:
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep,
In hollow halls beneath the fells.
