Make

haste

!

For

it

is

before

the

walls

of

Minas

Tirith

that

the

doom

of

our

time

will

be

decided

,

and

if

the

tide

be

not

stemmed

there

,

then

it

will

flow

over

all

the

fair

fields

of

Rohan

,

and

even

in

this

Hold

among

the

hills

there

shall

be

no

refuge

.

'

'

Dark

tidings

,

'

said

Théoden

,

'

yet

not

all

unguessed

.

But

say

to

Denethor

that

even

if

Rohan

itself

felt

no

peril

,

still

we

would

come

to

his

aid

.

But

we

have

suffered

much

loss

in

our

battles

with

Saruman

the

traitor

,

and

we

must

still

think

of

our

frontier

to

the

north

and

east

,

as

his

own

tidings

make

clear

.

So

great

a

power

as

the

Dark

Lord

seems

now

to

wield

might

well

contain

us

in

battle

before

the

City

and

yet

strike

with

great

force

across

the

River

away

beyond

the

Gate

of

Kings

.

'

But

we

will

speak

no

longer

counsels

of

prudence

.

We

will

come

.

The

weapontake

was

set

for

the

morrow

.

When

all

is

ordered

we

will

set

out

.

Ten

thousand

spears

I

might

have

sent

riding

over

the

plain

to

the

dismay

of

your

foes

.

It

will

be

less

now

,

I

fear

;

for

I

will

not

leave

my

strongholds

all

unguarded

.

Yet

six

thousands

at

the

least

shall

ride

behind

me

.

For

say

to

Denethor

that

in

this

hour

the

King

of

the

Mark

himself

will

come

down

to

the

land

of

Gondor

,

though

maybe

he

will

not

ride

back

.

But

it

is

a

long

road

,

and

man

and

beast

must

reach

the

end

with

strength

to

fight

.

A

week

it

may

be

from

tomorrow

's

morn

ere

you

hear

the

cry

of

the

Sons

of

Eorl

coming

from

the

North

.

A

week

!

'

said

Hirgon

.

'

If

it

must

be

so

,

it

must

.

But

you

are

like

to

find

only

ruined

walls

in

seven

days

from

now

,

unless

other

help

unlooked-for

comes

.

Still

,

you

may

at

the

least

disturb

the

Orcs

and

Swarthy

Men

from

their

feasting

in

the

White

Tower

.

'

'

At

the

least

we

will

do

that

,

'

said

Théoden

.

'

But

I

myself

am

new-come

from

battle

and

long

journey

,

and

I

will

now

go

to

rest

.

Tarry

here

this

night

.

Then

you

shall

look

on

the

muster

of

Rohan

and

ride

away

the

gladder

for

the

sight

,

and

the

swifter

for

the

rest

.

In

the

morning

counsels

are

best

,

and

night

changes

many

thoughts

.

With

that

the

king

stood

up

,

and

they

all

rose

.

'

Go

now

each

to

your

rest

.

'

he

said

,

'

and

sleep

well

.

And

you

,

Master

Meriadoc

,

I

need

no

more

tonight

.

But

be

ready

to

my

call

as

soon

as

the

Sun

is

risen

.

'

'

I

will

be

ready

,

'

said

Merry

,

'

even

if

you

bid

me

ride

with

you

on

the

Paths

of

the

Dead

.

'

'

Speak

not

words

of

omen

!

'

said

the

king

.

'

For

there

may

be

more

roads

than

one

that

could

bear

that

name

.

But

I

did

not

say

that

I

would

bid

you

ride

with

me

on

any

road

.

Good

night

!

'

'

I

wo

n't

be

left

behind

,

to

be

called

for

on

return

!

'

said

Merry

.

'

I

wo

n't

be

left

,

I

wo

n't

.

'

And

repeating

this

over

and

over

again

to

himself

he

fell

asleep

at

last

in

his

tent

.
