Here's the rest of it said by Aragorn:

"'Lady Undómiel,' said Aragorn, 'the hour is indeed hard, yet it was made even in that day we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk.

Take counsel with yourself, beloved, and ask if you would indeed have me wait until I whither and fall from my high seat unmanned and witless. Nay, lady, I am the last of the Númenoreans and the latest King of the Elder Days; and to me has been given not only a span thrice that of Men of Middle-Earth, but also the grace to go at my will, and give back the gift. Now, therefore, I will sleep.
