<Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> True - hearted Men, they will not be corrupted . We of Minas Tirith have been staunch through long years of trial . We do not desire the power of wizard - lords, only strength to defend ourselves, strength in a just cause . And behold! In our need chance brings to light the Ring of Power . It is a gift, I say; a gift to the foes of Mordor . It is mad not to use it, to use the power of the Enemy against him . The fearless, the ruthless, these alone will achieve victory . What could not a warrior do in this hour, a great leader? What could not Aragorn do? Or if he refuses, why not Boromir? The Ring would give me power of Command . How I would drive the hosts of Mordor, and all men would flock to my banner! </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> <P> After seeing that Frodo was unconvinced, Boromir half begged, half commanded him to at least lend the Ring, and when Frodo still refused, Boromir leaped to seize it . Frodo vanished by putting on the Ring and fled, intending to continue the quest alone . Boromir, realizing his betrayal, immediately repented his actions and wept . Searching unsuccessfully for Frodo, he told the Fellowship of Frodo's disappearance, though not of his own misdeeds . The hobbits in a frenzy scattered to look for Frodo . Aragorn, who suspected Boromir's part in Frodo's flight, ordered him to follow and protect Merry and Pippin, which he did without question . The Fellowship was then attacked by a band of orcs . </P> <P> During the scattered fighting against orcs near Parth Galen, Boromir was mortally wounded by arrows while defending Merry and Pippin, redeeming himself for trying to take the Ring . The fighting is described through Pippin's eyes: </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> Then Boromir had come leaping through the trees . He had made them fight . He slew many of them and the rest fled . But they had not gone far on the way back when they were attacked again, by a hundred Orcs at least, some of them very large, and they shot a rain of arrows: always at Boromir . Boromir had blown his great horn till the woods rang, and at first the Orcs had been dismayed and had drawn back; but when no answer but the echoes came, they had attacked more fiercely than ever . Pippin did not remember much more . His last memory was of Boromir leaning against a tree, plucking out an arrow; then darkness fell suddenly . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> </Table>
