MOUTH OF SAURON


I AM THE MOUTH OF SAURON

KNOW HIS MIND, SERVE AT HIS HAND.

LIEUTENANT OF THE TOWER

BARAD-DUR AND OF HIS LAND.

IS THERE ONE AMONGST THIS RABBLE,

PITIFUL HOST, THIS MEAGER BAND.

WITH AUTHORITY TO TREAT WITH ME

OR EVEN WIT TO UNDERSTAND?



NOT THOU AT LEAST PRETENDER (Looking at Aragorn)

TO A THRONE NERE COME TO PASS.

IT TAKES MORE TO MAKE A KING

THAN A PEICE OF ELVEN GLASS.

PERHAPS ITS THROUGH THIS ARMY,

YOUR REGAL STATION I SHOULD KNOW?

A MERE PACK NO MORE THAN ANY

BRIGAND OF THE HILLS COULD SHOW.



ARAGORN (Stepping forward)



EVIL MASK I CLAIM NO KINGSHIP,

PERHAPS MY GAZE REVEALS MY WILL.

IVE NOT MOVED MY HAND TO WEAPON

YET YOU SEEM TOVE HAD YOUR FILL.



MOUTH OF SAURON



IF YOUR PURPOSE IS TO MENACE,

I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU FAILED.

IM A HERALD AND AMBASSADOR

AND THUS MAY NOT BE ASSAILED.



GANDALF



SPARE ME YOUR INDIGNATION

YOUR MASTERS POWR MAKES YOU TOO BOLD.

THE LAND OF MORDOR KNOWS NO HONOR

NEITHER LAW NOR CUSTOM HOLDS.



STILL NO ONE HAS THREATENED YOU

FROM US YOUVE NAUGHT TO FEAR

TIL ERRAND DONE OR WISDOM COME

TO SAURON. HIS END DRAWS NEAR.



MOUTH OF SAURON



SO WE FIND A SPOKESMAN HERE AT LAST.

THE FRAIL GREYBEARD, WE FEARED YOUR TIME HAD PASSED.

WE HAVE HEARD OF YOU AT WHILES,

AND THY WANDRINGS OER THE MILES.
