Ak! Don't over-quote yourself, Arty.
"Alas! For she was pitted (?) against a foe beyond the strength of her mind or body. And those who will have a/w_a_o_/to such as every must be/_t_r_e_/that spell, if she/v_r_/s_o_k/shall not/_e_t_o_/then. It was an evil doom that set her on/_i_/p_t_. For she is a fair maiden, /_a_r_s_/l_d_/of a/_o_s_/of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if _r_u_h_/be/e_f-_r_g_t_/out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had/_u_n_d/its sap/_o/_c_,/and/_o/it/_t_o_, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but/s_r_c_ed, soon to fall and die? Her malady/_e_i_s/_a_/back before this day, does it not, Eomer?" Aragorn speaking of Éowyn.

Very good Eärniel and Beren!
This is what you have correct so far: "Alas! For she was pitted against a foe beyond the strength of her mind or body. And those who will /_a_e/a/w_a_o_/to such a_/e_e_y/ must be/_t_r_e_/that /s_e_l, if /_h_/v_r_/s_o_k/shall not/_e_t_o_/the_./ It was an evil doom that set her /_n/_i_/p_t_. For she is a fair maiden, /_a_r_s_/l_d_/of a/_o_s_/of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wright out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had/_u_n_d/its sap/_o/_c_,/and/_o/it/_t_o_, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but/s_r_c_e_, soon to fall and die? Her malady/_e_i_s/_a_/back before this day, does it not, Eomer?" Speaker is correct too, of course.

"Alas! For she was pitted against a foe beyond the strength of her mind or body. And those who will take a weapon to such an enemy must be starved that smell, if the very spook shall not destroy them. It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wright out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die? Her malady belies way back before this day, does it not, Eomer?"

Instead of spook, how about "shock?"

And how about "begins" instead of "belies"?

OK... let's try it again:
"Alas! For she was pitted against a foe beyond the strength of her mind or body. And those who will take a weapon to such an enemy must be (stronger? - doesn't fit, but sounds right)_t_r_e_ than steel, if the very shock shall not destroy them. It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die? Her malady begins far back before this day, does it not, Eomer?"

FM: the 'was' in line 3 is not correct - otherwise, you're all good so far!

elixir - 'has not been observed' - but I'll give you that one.
Why rolly-eyes? Speaker anybody?

Isn't the text part of Arvedui's claim to the Gondorean throne?
