How about this?

Fool are you to make your shot:
You revealed yourself to foes. - Turin put on the Dragon Helm, thus revealing himself to Morgoth
Fool am I to make my shot:
I revealed the secret bridge. - Mablung, who revealed the Bridge of Esgalduin to Morwen and Nienor, and by doing so, allowed their doom to find them both (plus Turin)
My shot you took from where it fell. - and Turin, who is responsible for its destruction,
You'll get no thanks though you did well. - and who, in spite of killing Glaurung, can't receive any real thanks for obvious reasons
So which of us the bigger fool?
