Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

That translation did not aim to maintain the meter of the original, but just to do it required adding a whole bit of new vocabulary. I also had to change the word order from the original significantly just to have grammatical Thote; I had an earlier version thereof which was closer to the original in word order but which was entirely ungrammatical.
