Then she left to go where the East Road led,
But she met an orc and the orc wished her dead.
She fled from the orc, and the orc chased her back
To the gates of Bree where he pressed his attack.

The Lady fought bravely, with just her bow,
But the orc advanced and struck savage blows.
She was badly hurt, he would soon strike her down -
When rescuers sallied from the gates of the town.

The orc fumed and snarled but had to flee
And they took her safe to the walls of Bree.
When she recovered, with well-armed companions
She went on home through the wilds of Rhovanion.
