I begin with the end, which is what made me recognize it:

How comes it that we have never met before?
Surely your father has not kept you locked in his hoard?"

Spoken by Aragorn

Still correct on all solves. That leaves just two words.


I see now that I made a slight posting error - but it doesn't matter much. The start should be "Often is it seen..." instead of the "Often it is seen..." as I posted it. I must've mistransposed the quote initially. Sorry.

"dangerous" is correct - one word left. The quote stands like this:

"Often it is seen, that in dangerous /d_y_/ men will hide their chief treasures.
Yet I marvel at Elrond and your brothers; for though I have dwelt in this House from childhood, I have heard no word of you. How comes it that we have never met before? Surely your father has not kept you locked in his hoard?"

"It was a city, the white city of Gondor, of which this was
only a fortress. For that is the ruin of Osgiliath on either
side of Anduin, which our enemies took and border(?) long ago.
Yet we won it back in the days of the /_o_t_/ of Denethor: not
to swell(?) it, but to hold as an outpost, and to /_e_u_l_/ the
_r_d_e/ for the passage of our /_r_s."

Four wrong words: 'white' in line 1, 'border' in line 3, 'swell it' in line 4.
You suspected two of them yourself
The rest is fine

Of course... 'white' doesn't even fit. Here:

"It was a city, the chief city of Gondor, of which this was
only a fortress. For that is the ruin of Osgiliath on either
side of Anduin, which our enemies took and burned long ago.
Yet we won it back in the days of the youth of Denethor: not
to dwell in, but to hold as an outpost, and to /_e_u_l_/ the
/_r_d_e/ for the passage of our arms."

Beregond?

Beregond said it - and all corrections and additions are correct.

Only two words left.

Finally got something. Is it 'rebuild' and 'bridge'?

I didn't remember that in there, or that Gondor had plans to do it - if those words are correct.

The words are correct.

Whether Beregond is referring to Gondor's plans correctly, is a different question.
Perhaps it was rebuilt and broken down again later? I don't remember the details ...
