Eru. Not quite sure on a few of those words...

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Impressive first guess. Near-perfect. The third and final 'ye' is incorrect. Note the other pronoun in that sentence is "his" and you should be good to go...

[Curufin]

'he'

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

There it is. Great job.

For the less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may
accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest.
It may be that I can unlock my jewels, but never again shall I make their like;
and if I must break them, I shall break my heart, and I shall be
slain; first of all the Eldar in Aman.
~Fëanor

"Not the first," said Mandos.

[Curufin]

Yep! Your turn.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

I'm going to be away until Sunday evening, so I apologize for not being able to give corrections in the meantime. I hope it is sufficiently difficult and that everyone is sufficiently busy with other things as I am, that this won't be a problem. If it is easy and someone solves it, feel free to self-confirm and move on.

Nice work so far, everyone. Corrections below.

Are you sure it's not "as often as they can"?

[Midge]

I didn't copy, I swear!

"as often as they MAY"?

Ooh, "should the ale be hung(?) up on the wall!"

[Midge]

Feast of Healing?

Okay, I'll shut up. I've guessed out all the words anyway.

EDIT: It's probably not from LOTR (if it were, would I recognize it?) and I have no idea who said it. Hm.

I bet it was a guy, though.

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

I have a confession... I've posted the wrong quote in the wrong thread. This quote is from a HoME volume. I posted in a rush and messed up. My bad. Sorry.

So shall we forego the speaker and just move on when the words are filled in?
Hint: The first two missing words relate both to one another and to the subject of hewing trees, the last one will likely be obvious when you get the other two. Apologies again. . .

[Valandil]

'felling'?

'axe be'?

[The Dread Pirate Roberts]

Correct.
