As everyone knows, Shakespeare was merely the nom de plume of the Elven playwright Tholinnas Giredech. Here is Act 1, Scene 1 of "Cuilion" in the original Sindarin:

ACT I.

SCENE I. An open Place. Thunder and Lightning.

[Enter three Witches.]
GOLLOR VINUI:
Mar adeveditham min neled? Ned menelam, dramgalad egor ned ross?

GOLLOR DADUI:
Ir i chwiniad tôl nan meth.
Ir i nagor tôl na nírnaeth a tûr.

GOLLOR NELUI:
I thinnad aphadatha.

GOLLOR VINUI.
Mas i had?

GOLLOR DADUI.
Erin rhaw.

GOLLOR NELUI.
Ennas gevediad Guilion.

GOLLOR VINUI.
Telin, Mithauthiel!

PAN.
Caborbadol nalla: si!
Bain thia 'ortheb, a gortheb thia vain:
Ribo trî i chith a gwelu 'waur.

[Witches vanish.]
