Noldoli is correct.
Bed and web are not (hint: it's a verb). Neither is peace correct.

O Tuor of the lonely heart, I will not that thou dwell for ever in fair places of birds and flowers; nor would I send thee through this pleasant land, o but that so it must be. But fare now on thy destined journey and tarry not, for far from /beach/is thy weird/set/. Now must thou seek through the lands for the city of the folk called Gondothlim or the dwellers in stone, and the Noldoli shall escort thee thither in secret for fear of the spies of Melko. Words I will set to your mouth there, and there you shall abide awhile. Yet maybe thy life shall turn again to the mighty waters; and of a surety a child shall come of thee than whom no man shall know more of the uttermost deeps, be it of the sea or of the firmament of heaven.
I wish I could think of something that I would think made sense ... Edit: I know that editing is dangerous here, but I add it at the end rather than change the beginning. Would it be reach instead of beach?

It is "set" indeed.
Hint: the last word does not end in 'ch'.

I'm not taking the time to guess now, just repeating how far we've got - just one word missing!
for far from/ _e_c_/is thy weird set.

'hence'?
(Not the word that I would most often use to describe how far some journey is )

It seems "hence" meant "here" way back when.
"Whence goeth thou?" "I goest from hence to thence." He had to go "far from here" on his journey.

Then was I correct, and that's the last word and it's my turn?
I inferred as much, but I just wanted to make sure before I found a quote and posted it. (I'm slow to take a hint - you have to tell me straight out! )

Apparently Shakespeare uses it that way, too. I remember from some amateur Shakespeare production, when after a while we got into doing lots of our ordinary talking in quotes, one of the quotes we used a lot was "Let us depart from hence" (e.g. when we were going home).

OK - sorry for further delay upon the initial delay, but here's one I can serve up:
"V_n_t_a_y_/i_/h_s/_i_h_/n_m_/. /L_t/_i_/g_/b_c_/t_/t_e/_a_d/_h_r_/i_/b_l_n_s!"

is his _i_h_ name. Let him go back to the land where it belongs.
By the way, hence = "from here" (although you can use it as from hence as well), thence = from there, and whence = from where. Hither = to here, thither = to there, whither = to where.
