An earlier draft, after line 12 found could be, has the couplet:

from England unto Eglamar
o'er folk and field and lands afar.

(* Once near the very end (line 3957), in the manuscript conclusion of the B-text, the form
as written is Beleriand, not Broseliand.)

B(1): A king there was in olden days:
&c. as A to line 6

and hoarded gold in gleaming grot,
all these he had and heeded not.
But fairer than are born to Men
a daughter had he, Luthien:
&c. as B(2)

14-18. These lines were used afterwards in Gimli's song in Moria
(The Fellowship of the Ring II. 4); see the Commentary by

C. S. Lewis, p. 3I6.

41-4. A: They dwelt in dark Broceliand
while loneliness yet held the land.

B(1): They dwelt beyond Broseliand
while loneliness yet held the land,
in the forest dark of Doriath.
Few ever thither found the path;

In B(1) Ossiriande is pencilled above Broseliand. As noted
above, B (2) has Beleriand as typed.

48. After this line A and B(1) have:

Yet came at whiles afar and dim
beneath the roots of mountains grim
a blowing and a sound of bells,
a hidden hunt in hollow dells.

The second couplet reappears at a later point in B(2), lines
9 I - 2.

49-61 A and B(1):

To North there lay the Land of Dread,
whence only evil pathways led
o'er hills of shadow bleak and cold;
to West and South the oceans rolled
