You know, I thought this would be easier than this...hmm...

"For/shame,/my/f_t_e_/behold,/here/is/Beren/the/blade/whom/the/joshing/brave/
i_t_/d_r_/played/and/fool/_a_t_v_t_/and/the/Valar/alone/saved/from/a/b_t_e_/
d_a_h./_e_h_n_s/'twould/_a_h_r/_e_i_/a/_i_g/of/the/Eldar/to/_e_a_d/him/that/
r_v_l_/him.

That's as much as I can come up with, and it's not even much, if any is right.

Actually, a good first effort. Especially since I got it from "The Book
Of Lost Tales", which may be why some of the language sounds
rather archaic.

Spoken by Luthien to Tinwelint when he scorns Beren upon their (Beren and Luthien) returning to his halls.

Great idea, Tuor!

Correct, Encaitare. I rather like that quote. It
shows a Luthien with a bit of an attitude.

Your turn.

Yup, especially since she's stamping her foot at daddy and all that. Here goes...

How about:

Haldir to Legolas at the crossing of Celebrant:

We have two more ropes. We will fasten them one above the other, one shoulder-high, and another half-high, and holding these the strangers should be able to cross with care
