【正文】 any blackfeathered arrows。 his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt。 his horn cloven in two was at his side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all about him and at his feet. Aragorn knelt beside him. Boromir opened his eyes and strove to speak. At last slow words came. 39。I tried to take the Ring from Frodo 39。 he said. 39。I am sorry. I have paid.39。 His glance strayed to his fallen enemies。 twenty at least lay there. 39。They have gone: the Halflings: the Orcs have taken them. I think they are not dead. Orcs bound them.39。 He paused and his eyes closed wearily. After a moment he spoke again. 39。Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed.39。 39。No!39。 said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. 39。You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!39。 Boromir smiled. 39。Which way did they go? Was Frodo there?39。 said Aragorn. But Boromir did not speak again. 39。Alas!39。 said Aragorn. 39。Thus passes the heir of Dehor, Lord of the Tower of Guard! This is a bitter end. Now the Company is all in ruin. It is I that have failed. Vain was Gandalf39。s trust in me. What shall I do now? Boromir has laid it on me to go to Minas Tirith, and my heart desires it。 but where are the Ring and the Bearer? How shall I find them and save the Quest from disaster?39。 He knelt for a while, bent with weeping, still clasping Boromir39。s hand. So it was that Legolas and Gimli found him. They came from the western slopes of the hill, silently, creeping through the trees as if they were hunting. Gimli had his axe in hand, and Legolas his long knife: all his arrows were spent. When they came into the glade they halted in amazement。 and then they stood a moment with heads bowed in grief, for it seemed to them plain what had happened. 39。Alas!39。 said Legolas, ing to Aragorn39。s side. 39。We have hunted and slain many Orcs in the woods, but we should have been of more use here. We came when we heard the hornbut too late, it seems. I fear you have taken deadly hurt.39。 39。Boromir is dead,39。 said Aragorn. 39。I am unscathed, for I was not here with him. He fell defending the hobbits, while I was away upon the hill.39。 39。The hobbits!39。 cried Gimli 39。Where are they then? Where is Frodo?39。 39。I do not know,39。 answered Aragorn wearily. 39。Before he died Boromir told me that the Orcs had bound them。 he did not think that they were dead. I sent him to follow Merry and Pippin。 but I did not ask him if Frodo or Sam were with him: not until it was too late. All that I have done today has gone amiss. What is to be done now?39。 39。First we must tend the fallen,39。 said Legolas. 39。We cannot leave him lying like carrion among these foul Orcs.39。 39。But we must be swift,39。 said Gimli. 39。He would not wish us to linger. We must follow the Orcs, if there is hope that any of our Company are living prisoners.39。 39。But we do not know whether the Ringbearer is with them or not 39。 said Aragorn. 39。Are we to abandon him? Must we not seek him first? An evil choice is now before us!39。 39。Then let us do first what we must do,39。 said Legolas. 39。We have not the time or the tools to bury our rade fitly, or to raise a mound over him. A cairn we might build.39。 39。The labour would be hard and long: there are no stones that we could use nearer than the waterside,39。 said Gimli. 39。Then let us lay him in a boat with his weapons, and the weapons of his vanquished foes,39。 said Aragorn. 39。We will send him to the Falls of Rauros and give him to Anduin. The River of Gondor will take care at least that no evil creature dishonours his bones.39。 Quickly they searched the bodies of the Orcs, gathering their swords and cloven helms and shields into a heap. 39。See!39。 cried Aragorn. 39。Here we find tokens!39。 He picked out from the pile of grim weapons two knives, leafbladed, damasked in gold and red。 and searching further he found also the sheaths, black, set with small red gems. 39。No orctools these!39。 he said. 39。They were borne by the hobbits. Doubtless the Orcs despoiled them, but feared to keep the knives, knowing them for what they are: work of Westernesse, wound about with spells for the bane of Mordor. Well, now, if they still live, our friends are weaponless. I will take these things, hoping against hope, to give them back.39。 39。And I,39。 said Legolas, 39。will take all the arrows that I can find, for my quiver is empty.39。 He searched in the pile and on the ground about and found not a few that were undamaged and longer in the shaft than such arrows as the Orcs were accustomed to use. He looked at them closely. And Aragorn looked on the slain, and he said: 39。Here lie many that are not folk of Mordor. Some are from the North, from the Misty Mountains, if I know anything of Orcs and their kinds. And here are others strange to me. Their gear is not after the manner of Orcs at all!39。 There were four goblinsoldiers of greater stature, swart, slanteyed, with thick legs and large hands. They were armed with short broadbladed swords, not with the curved scimitars usual with Orcs: and they had bows of yew, in length and shape like the bows of Men. Upon their shields they bore a strange device: a small white hand in the centre of a black field。 on the front of their iron helms was set an Srune, wrought of some white metal. 39。I have not seen these tokens before,39。 said Aragorn. 39。What do they mean?39。 39。S is for Sauron,39。 said Gimli. 39。That is easy to read.39。 39。Nay!39。 said Legolas. 39。Sauron does not use the Elfrunes.39。 39。Neither does he use his right name, nor permit it to be spelt or spoken,39。 said Aragorn. 39。And he does not use white. The Orcs in the service of Baradd 鹯 use the sign of the Red Eye.39。 He stood for a moment in thought. 39。S is for Saruman,
