Tiriel2.3; E277| Oer mountains & thro vales of woe. the blind & aged man
Tiriel2.4; E277| Wanderd till he that leadeth all. led him to the vales of Har

Tiriel2.8; E277| Playing with flowers. & running after birds they spent the day
Tiriel2.9; E277| And in the night like infants slept delighted with infant dreams
Tiriel2.10; E277| Soon as the blind wanderer enterd the pleasant gardens of Har t361
Tiriel2.11; E277| They ran weeping like frighted infants for refuge in Mnethas arms
Tiriel2.12; E277| The blind man felt his way & cried peace to these open doors

Tiriel2.27; E278| I cast away my staff the kind companion of my travel
Tiriel2.28; E278| And I kneel down that you may see I am a harmless man
Tiriel2.29; E278| He kneeled down & Mnetha said Come Har & Heva rise
Tiriel2.30; E278| He is an innocent old man & hungry with his travel

Tiriel3.2; E279| Thou art a very old old man but I am older than thou

Tiriel3.10; E279| What wilt thou leave us too said Heva thou shalt not leave us too
Tiriel3.11; E279| For we have many sports to shew thee & many songs to sing
Tiriel3.12; E279| And after dinner we will walk into the cage of Har
Tiriel3.13; E279| And thou shalt help us to catch birds. & gather them ripe cherries
Tiriel3.14; E279| Then let thy name be Tiriel & never leave us more

Tiriel3.22; E279| Go not for thou art so like Tiriel. that I love thine head
Tiriel3.23; E279| Tho it is wrinkled like the earth parchd with the summer heat
Tiriel3.24; E279| Then Tiriel rose up from the seat & said god bless these tents t367
Tiriel3.25; E279| My Journey is oer rocks & mountains. not in pleasant vales
Tiriel3.26; E279| I must not sleep nor rest because of madness & dismay t368

Tiriel3.31; E279| Madness & deep dismay posses[s] the heart of the blind man
Tiriel3.32; E279| The wanderer who seeks the woods leaning upon his staff t369

Tiriel3.34; E279| And gave to him his staff & blest him. he went on his way
Tiriel3.35; E279| But Har & Heva stood & watchd him till he enterd the wood

Tiriel4.1; E280| Over the weary hills the blind man took his lonely way
Tiriel4.2; E280| To him the day & night alike was dark & desolate
Tiriel4.3; E280| But far he had not gone when Ijim from his woods come down
Tiriel4.4; E280| Met him at entrance of the forest in a dark & lonely way
Tiriel4.5; E280| Who art thou Eyeless wretch that thus obstructst the lions path

Tiriel4.10; E280| The blind man heard his brothers voice & kneeld down on his knee
Tiriel4.11; E280| O brother Ijim if it is thy voice that speaks to me
Tiriel4.12; E280| Smite not thy brother Tiriel tho weary of his life
Tiriel4.13; E280| My sons have smitten me already. and if thou smitest me
Tiriel4.14; E280| The curse that rolls over their heads will rest itself on thine

Tiriel4.24; E280| Ay now thou art discoverd I will use thee like a slave
Tiriel4.25; E280| When Tiriel heard the words of Ijim he sought not to reply
Tiriel4.26; E280| He knew twas vain for Ijims words were as the voice of Fate
Tiriel4.27; E280| And they went on together over hills thro woody dales
Tiriel4.28; E280| Blind to the pleasures of the sight & deaf to warbling birds
Tiriel4.29; E280| All day they walkd & all the night beneath the pleasant Moon
Tiriel4.30; E280| Westwardly journeying till Tiriel grew weary with his travel
Tiriel4.31; E280| O Ijim I am faint & weary for my knees forbid
Tiriel4.32; E280| To bear me further. urge me not lest I should die with travel
Tiriel4.33; E280| A little rest I crave a little water from a brook
Tiriel4.34; E280| Or I shall soon discover that I am a mortal man
Tiriel4.35; E280| And you will lose your once lovd Tiriel alas how fain I am
Tiriel4.36; E280| Impudent fiend said Ijim hold thy glib & eloquent tongue

Tiriel4.38; E280| Drink of this runing brook. & I will bear thee on my shoulders t371
Tiriel4.39; E280| He drank & Ijim raisd him up & bore him on his shoulders
Tiriel4.40; E281| All day he bore him & when evening drew her solemn curtain
Tiriel4.41; E281| Enterd the gates of Tiriels palace. & stood & calld aloud
Tiriel4.42; E281| Heuxos come forth I here have brought the fiend that troubles Ijim
Tiriel4.43; E281| Look knowst thou aught of this grey beard. or of these blinded eyes
Tiriel4.44; E281| Heuxos & Lotho ran forth at the sound of Ijims voice
Tiriel4.45; E281| And saw their aged father borne upon his mighty shoulders
Tiriel4.46; E281| Their eloquent tongues were dumb & sweat stood on. their trembling limbs
Tiriel4.47; E281| They knew twas vain to strive with Ijim they bowd & silent stood
Tiriel4.48; E281| What Heuxos call thy father for I mean to sport to night t372
Tiriel4.49; E281| This is the Hypocritc that sometimes roars a dreadful lion
Tiriel4.50; E281| Then I have rent his limbs & left him rotting in the forest t373
Tiriel4.51; E281| For birds to eat but I have scarce departed from the place
Tiriel4.52; E281| But like a tyger he would come & so I rent him too
Tiriel4.53; E281| Then like a river be would seek to drown me in his waves
Tiriel4.54; E281| But soon I buffetted the torrent anon like to a cloud
Tiriel4.55; E281| Fraught with the swords of lightning. but I bravd the vengeance too
Tiriel4.56; E281| Then he would creep like a bright serpent till around my neck
Tiriel4.57; E281| While I was Sleeping he would twine I squeezd his poisnous soul
Tiriel4.58; E281| Then like a toad or like a newt. would whisper in my ears
Tiriel4.59; E281| Or like a rock stood in my way. or like a poisnous shrub
Tiriel4.60; E281| At last I caught him in the form of Tiriel blind & old
Tiriel4.61; E281| And so Ill keep him fetch your father fetch forth Myratana
Tiriel4.62; E281| They stood confounded. and Thus Tiriel raisd his silver voice
Tiriel4.63; E281| Serpents not sons why do you stand fetch hither Tiriel t374
Tiriel4.64; E281| Fetch hither Myratana & delight yourselves with scoffs

Tiriel4.65; E281| Is ready for your bitter taunts. come forth sons of the curse
Tiriel4.67; E281| Mean time the other sons of Tiriel ran around their father
Tiriel4.68; E281| Confounded at the terrible strength of Ijim they knew twas vain
Tiriel4.69; E281| Both spear & shield were useless & the coat of iron mail
Tiriel4.70; E281| When Ijim stretchd his mighty arm. the arrow from his limbs
Tiriel4.71; E281| Rebounded & the piercing sword broke on his naked flesh t375
Tiriel4.72; E281| Then is it true Heuxos that thou hast turnd thy aged parent
Tiriel4.73; E281| To be the sport of wintry winds. (said Ijim) is this true
Tiriel4.74; E281| It is a lie & I am like the tree torn by the wind t376
Tiriel4.75; E281| Thou eyeless fiend. & you dissemblers. Is this Tiriels house
Tiriel4.76; E281| It is as false [as] Matha. & as dark as vacant Orcus t377
Tiriel4.77; E281| Escape ye fiends for Ijim will not lift his hand against ye
Tiriel4.78; E281| So saying. Ijim gloomy turnd his back & silent sought
Tiriel4.79; E281| The secret forests & all night wanderd in desolate ways t378

Tiriel8.25; E285| Consuming all both flowers & fruits insects & warbling birds
Tiriel8.26; E285| And now my paradise is falln & a drear sandy plain
Tiriel8.27; E285| Returns my thirsty hissings in a curse on thee O Har
