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_/,

/I/set/thee/free/
from/thine/old/oath/,

I don't recognize it from anywhere here and now, but it certainly contains poetic language.

***Earniel*** · 04-17-2010, 05:19 PM

Correct so far.

***Varnafindë*** · 04-18-2010, 06:26 AM

"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

***Earniel*** · 04-19-2010, 06:08 AM

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/."

***Earniel*** · 05-12-2010, 06:54 AM

Should I give a hint?

***Varnafindë*** · 05-12-2010, 01:41 PM

and/I/am/minded/all/to/tell/,

I could try at some of the other lines first, before getting a hint.

***Earniel*** · 05-12-2010, 02:44 PM

Correct!

***Varnafindë*** · 05-12-2010, 05:22 PM

"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/

***Earniel*** · 05-13-2010, 10:53 AM

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/."

***Varnafindë*** · 05-14-2010, 06:26 AM

thy life to loose

***Earniel*** · 05-15-2010, 08:30 AM

Correct! You're doing well.

***Varnafindë*** · 05-19-2010, 04:44 PM

and/thus/,/_e_c_a_c_/,

for/gone/for me
hast/thou/endured/when/e'en/was/_a_n_d/."

***Earniel*** · 05-19-2010, 05:33 PM

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/."

***Varnafindë*** · 05-19-2010, 05:44 PM

"thy life to loose" should be in there as well ...

/more/for me
hast thou endured than/

Midge · 05-19-2010, 05:56 PM

"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/."

***Earniel*** · 05-20-2010, 05:37 AM

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

***Varnafindë*** · 05-20-2010, 10:41 AM

banned? Although, again, the guess doesn't make sense ...

No idea at all on the speaker.

Midge · 05-20-2010, 11:31 AM

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

***Earniel*** · 05-20-2010, 06:46 PM

HINT:

The first letter is a vowel.
