I'm trying to translate these lines specifically: (Canto II, about Morgoth)
"Far in the Northern hills of stone,
in caverns black there was a throne.
A king there sat, most dark and fell
of all that under heaven dwell.
Than earth or sea, than moon or star,
more ancient was he, mightier far
of strength primeval, ere the stone
was hewn to build the world; alone
he walked in darkness, fierce and dire,
burned, as he wielded it, by fire."
