==The Canto==

:Up through the dark and echoing gloom
:as ghosts from many-tunnelled tomb,
:up from the mountain's roots profound
:and the vast menace underground,
:their limbs aquake with deadly fear,
:terror in eyes, and dread in ear,
:together fled they, by the beat
:affrighted of their flying feet.

:At last before them far away
:they saw the glimmering wraith of day,
:the mighty archway of the gate—
:and there a horror new did wait.
:Upon the threshold, watchful, dire,
:his eyes new-kindled with dull fire,
:towered Carcharoth, a biding doom:
:his jaws were gaping like a tomb,
:his teeth were bare, his tongue aflame;
:aroused he watched that no one came,
:no flitting shade nor hunted shape,
:seeking from Angband to escape.
:Now past that guard what guile or might
:could thrust from death into the light?

:He heard afar their hurrying feet,
:he snuffed an odour strange and sweet;
:he smelled their coming long before
:they marked the waiting threat at door.
:His limbs he stretched and shook off sleep,
:then stood at gaze. With sudden leap
:upon them as they sped he sprang,
:and his howling in the arches rang.
:Too swift for thought his onset came,
:too swift for any spell to tame;
:and Beren desperate then aside
:thrust Lúthien, and forth did stride
:unarmed, defenceless to defend
:[[Tinúviel]] until the end.
:With left he caught at hairy throat,
:with right hand at the eyes he smote—
:his right, from which the radiance welled
:of the holy Silmaril he held.
:As gleam of swords in fire there flahsed
:the fangs of Carcharoth, and crashed
:together like a trap, that tore
:the hand about the wrist, and shore
:through brittle bone and sinew nesh,
:devouring the frail mortal flesh;
:and in that cruel mouth unclean
:engulfed the jewel's holy sheen.
