Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
And meat was hard to come by.
{J. R. R. Tolkien, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, The Stone Troll, Troll sat alone on his seat of stone by Matěj Čadil}
Seduto solo sul suo sedile in pietra il Troll
Sgranocchiava e rosicchiava un vecchio osso liso e rotondo,
Da molti anni lo rosicava
Poiché carne non se ne trovava.
Bruca, rosica, morde!
In una grotta solitario abitava,
E di carne non se ne trovava.
{J. R. R. Tolkien, Le Avventure di Tom Bombadil, Il Troll di Pietra, Troll sat alone on his seat of stone by Matěj Čadil}
