1. Chapter 1
To Feanor his firstborn now born;
there in the white city of Tirion, of he Feanor spoke him fair,
for Nerdanel daughter of Mahtan he held in love,
whom the Noldor thought wise and steadfast,
and remembering Finwe his beloved sire, of all fathers most loved,
he turned not the children of Indis in contempt away.
There clasped him gently Maedhros the scion of Curufinwe,
for Nerdanel moved him with murmured cooing
and he said: "Lo, O son of the spirit of fire,
the light in bliss, the loyal in need,
Maedhros of the house of fire, thy home is with me,
and here thou shalt sojourn and be held my firstborn son.
