''Errantry'' is a three-page long poem by J.R.R. Tolkien, first published in 1933.〔("Errantry", ''The Oxford Magazine'', Vol. 52 No. 5, 1933 November 9 )〕 It was included in Tolkien's short poetry collection ''The Adventures of Tom Bombadil'' (1962). Tolkien invented the meter, which consists of trisyllabic assonances, three in each set of four lines. The second and fourth line in every quartet rhyme, as do the end of the first line and beginning of the second line in every pair. This was so difficult that he never wrote another poem again in this style, though he later did develop another style from this, and the result, through long evolution from ''Errantry'', was ''Eärendil the Mariner'' as published in ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' (cf Eärendil). This poem was set to music by Donald Swann. The sheet music and an audio recording are part of the song-cycle The Road Goes Ever On.〔(Donald Swann website ) - song cycles〕 ''Errantry'' later came to be categorised as a Hobbit poem from Middle-earth. ''Errantry'' perfectly fits the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan's I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General. ==Extract== Two quartets, with end-of-line assonances coloured yellow and end-and-beginning assonances coloured teal. :"He battled with the , :the , and , :and won the Golden , :and on , :in ship of leaves and , :with a , :he sat and sang, and , :and his ." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Errantry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
