It took me some pondering, but I think I have it.
Sam's Elven rope:
Strong I am, though slim and light, - well, it is - stronger and lighter than any other rope Sam has seen
Soft I am, although I bite, - bites Gollum's hands, it doesss, lrecioussss...
I'll let you down, but still be true, - it holds fast as it lets Frodo and Sam down into the gorge
I will slip but stay with you. - the knot slipped, and so the rope stayed with Sam and was not left behind.
