Summary: Gorlim wasn't very clever, was he? You shouldn't listen to Sauron's temptations, Gorlim....

Gorlim had land to farm, a pretty house, a wife;

Eilinel the White, she was beloved more than life.
But Angrim’s son swore himself to valiant Barahir,
Avenging ravaged land, Gorlim rode to war.
After Sudden Flame was done, home
Twelve left to ride.  Eilinel,
Gorlim through window spied.
Trapped and caught,
Sauron’s band
Gorlim
 
Sought
And took
Unhappy Gorlim! Wretched
Man, the broken prisoner.
Before Sauron’s throne was cast
Gorlim, Barahir’s man. “Tell me!” spoke
Sauron, eyes alight. “Where lies Barahir’s band?
Tell me, Eilinel will I return to thee!” 
Gorlim believed; and to Sauron the Dark told all; 
“Eilinel is dead - my oath holds!” Sauron slew Gorlim mockingly.
