Bilbo's ongoing project

It occurred to me pursuant to last week's discussion of how the Elves responded to Bilbo's poem that he had apparently done this many times before: the surprise wasn't that he shared his poem with them, but the particular subject.

I wonder whether Bilbo has been reciting the results of his "Translations from the Elvish", and it is chance—if chance you call it—that he had reached this particular story at this time.
