Warning: poetic language ahead.
"T_e_e/_i_t_e/l_s_/i_/I/_e_e/_e_d/, _n_/I/_m/_i_d_d/_l_/t_/t_l_/, a_d/_h_s/,/_e_c_a_c_/,/f_o_/t_i_/d_r_/h_l_/ t_y/_i_e/_o/_o_s_/./I/_e_/t_e_/f_e_/ f_o_/t_i_e/_l_/o_t_/,/f_r/_o_e/_o_/m_/ h_s_/t_o_/e_d_r_d/_h_n/_'e_/w_s/_a_n_d/."

/I/set/thee/free/
from/thine/old/oath/, I don't recognize it from anywhere here and now, but it certainly contains poetic language.

"There/_i_t_e/loss/if/I/were/dead/,
I cannot find a last word to make that phrase make sense - possibly because of other wrong words in it

You were close, but the first word is not a common one.
"T_e_e/_i_t_e/loss if I were dead, _n_/I/_m/_i_d_d/_l_/t_/t_l_/, a_d/_h_s/,/_e_c_a_c_/,/f_o_/t_i_/d_r_/h_l_/ t_y/_i_e/_o/_o_s_/./I set thee free from thine old oath,/f_r/_o_e/_o_/m_/ h_s_/t_o_/e_d_r_d/_h_n/_'e_/w_s/_a_n_d/."

and/I/am/minded/all/to/tell/,
I could try at some of the other lines first, before getting a hint.

"Theye/_i_t_e/
(Just a guess - trying to make it look dated ... No idea yet about the second word, though.) and/this/,/_e_c_a_c_/,/from/this/dark/hell/ /for/none/for/me/

So far you have:
"T_e_e/_i_t_e/loss if I were dead, and I am minded all to tell, and/_h_s/,/_e_c_a_c_/, from this dark hell t_y/_i_e/_o/_o_s_/./I set thee free from thine old oath, for/_o_e/for me h_s_/t_o_/e_d_r_d/_h_n/_'e_/w_s/_a_n_d/."

Getting closer. Only a few words wrong.
This is what you have so far. I've put the latest additions in bold: "T_e_e/_i_t_e/loss if I were dead, and I am minded all to tell, and thus/,/_e_c_a_c_/, from this dark hell t_y/_i_e/_o/_o_s_/./I set thee free from thine old oath, for/_o_e/for me hast thou endured _h_n/_'e_/was/_a_n_d/."

"thy life to loose" should be in there as well ...
/more/for me hast thou endured than/

"Twere little loss if I were dead,
and I am minded all to tell, and thus, perchance, from this dark hell thy life to loose. I set thee free from thine old oath, for more for me hast thou endured than e'er was/_a_n_d/."

Correct! Only one word left. Any ideas on the speaker?

banned? Although, again, the guess doesn't make sense ...
No idea at all on the speaker.

All I could think of was "canned" and I was pretty darn sure that was wrong.
