What about something like this:

               Three::rings
          for:::the::Elven-Kings
       under:the:sky,:Seven:for:the
     Dwarf-Lords::in::their::halls:of
    stone,:Nine             for:Mortal
   :::Men:::     ________     doomed::to
  die.:One   _,-'...:... `-.    for:::the
 ::Dark::  ,- .:::::::::::. `.   Lord::on
his:dark ,'  .:::::zzz:::::.  `.  :throne:
In:::the/    ::::dMMMMMb::::    \ Land::of
:Mordor:\    ::::dMMmgJP::::    / :where::
::the::: '.  '::::YMMMP::::'  ,'  Shadows:
lie.::One  `. ``:::::::::'' ,'    Ring::to
 ::rule::    `-._```:'''_,-'     ::them::
  all,::One      `-----'        ring::to
   ::find:::                  them,:One
    Ring:::::to            bring::them
      all::and::in:the:darkness:bind
        them:In:the:Land:of:Mordor
           where:::the::Shadows
                :::lie.:::

or that:

               Three..rings

     Dwarf-Lords..in..their..halls.of

           where...the..Shadows
                ....lie....

I am not an ascii artist, but I had this idea some weeks ago. Diddles
are welcome.
