"I/am/ill/and/_a_b_e/,/Master/./Mind/me/not/!
/But/though/it/be/_l_a_a_t/to/speak/the/old/ tongue/with/one/that/speaks/it/fair/as/in/times/past/, the days are ill and one must be wary. /For/all/that/speak/the/fair/tongue/are/fair/at/heart." I have no idea about the speaker, though.

Wrong words are 'ill' in the first line, and the 'For' that starts the last line. Other solves are correct (I think - I'm not looking at the quote - I'll check it later - but I think the rest are all good)

"Not all", then, giving it the opposite meaning - which fits better with the quote as a whole as well.
Old instead of ill?

Both of those changes are correct.
 That leaves us with two words to go, and the speaker.

"I am old and /_a_b_e/, Master. Mind me not!
But though it be /pleasant/ to speak the old tongue with one that speaks it fair as in times past, the days are ill and one must be wary. Not all that speak the fair tongue are fair at heart."

'pleasant' is correct. One word left, plus speaker.

Is it time now for trying to work out individual letters?
 I honestly don't know that last word, and I've no idea about the speaker. At least I can bump the thread

Not 'ramble' - but you're on the right track.

'babble' is correct - and the quote is fully solved.
Got a speaker?

Is it spoken by an Elf?
In case you might be willing to give out hints ...

Just saw that this had languished a long time and perhaps needed a teeny little bump... maybe at least a bumpette!
In the 'Hint Department' - this happens to be another lead-in to our upcoming discussion of UT, I believe.

Well... it's about 4 1/2 months since the solve on the quote. And no solid attempts at speaker.
Should I give more hints? Or should I just give the speaker and let someone take it? Or... is everyone tired of the game?
