Abstract
First looks at historical changes in Old Irish as possible sources for similar changes in the development of Sindarin from Quenya. Then considers the subject matter and rhyme scheme of “Eärendil,” Bilbo’s poem composed in Rivendell, and “Errantry,” its comic companion from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, as similar in structure and subject matter to Old Irish “voyages” poems.
