Could be. I only have bits and pieces in my notes, posted by various people:
chalqachlIj rachlu'ta'bogh tutDaq
mol'egh betleH
muptaHvIS tay''eghmoH QeHDaj Hoch
The bat'leth sunk into the post
Of your fortified tower,
All his rage focussed in one blow
[PB, paq'raD, Canto 20, p. 159]
bIlay'DI' qaHarbe'
[...]
jIlay'DI' reH batlh jIpabchugh
Qapla'meywIj Hoch vIta'ta' 'e' DaHar'a'
quv vuv nuv pagh ghajbogh neH
"Your word means nothing to me,
[...]
Did you think that my word of honor
Would have carried me this far?
Honor is for those with nothing to lose!"
[PB, paq'raD, Canto 19, Stanza 5, p.156 (spoken by Molor to Kahless)]
