It justifies the dwarves’ need for revenge against the dragon Smaug, something the dwarves have waited to do for years. The last stanza reads, “Far over the misty mountains grim, to dungeons deep and caverns dim, we must away, ere break of day, to win our harps and gold from him,” (Tolkien, 16).

Miller describes the heroine of his story Alison, as a wife of an older man and also an infidel. She?s compared to a ?wezele? sly and cunning. The description of Alison clearly indicates that she is

Merica, written by John Keats in 1884, characterizes an “enchanting” folk ballad. Folk ballads are usually about the destructiveness of love. The speaker, a knight in despair, rejects the real world for the ideal beauty and enchantment the dame, whom he is seduced by, represents. We encounter an anonymous speaker who is concerned about the Knights well being. But does the knight’s condition exist in his own mind and perception.

The first recognized group of knights evolved during the Crusades. There was several different groups of them including the Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem, the Order of the Temple of Solomon, and the Order of St. Lazarus.
