Of one fair gem thou must be thief,
Morgoth's or Thingol's, loath or lief;
thou must here choose twixt love and oath!
If vow to break is still thee loath,
then Luthien must either die
alone, or death with thee defie
beside thee, marching on your fate
that hidden before you lies in wait.
Hopeless the quest, but not yet mad,
unless thou, Beren, run thus clad
in mortal raiment, mortal hue,
witless and redeless, death to woo.

The quote is correct. Now only the speaker needs to be identified.

Huan

Yep.

Well, as Huan may have said when (presumably) getting back to Valinor,
(although exactly what was he? Maia?)

"HoME sweet HoME".
