Hello everyone,
My name is Rick and I like to hunt and fish on the weekends at my cabin in South Carolina. But today I am stuck finishing my last Latin project before the summer.
I am in serious aid, and any help would be appreciated to this young and proud redneck from now until next weekend. Latin to English machine translators won't help though.
It is eight lines and will probably take a while for even the gurus of the gurus to do. Please help me out here gentlemen and gals.
Thanks in advance and maybe we can go hunting one day :
9 at quondam noctem simulacraque vana timebam;
10 mirabar, tenebris quisquis iturus erat:
11 risit, ut audirem, tenera cum matre Cupido
12 et leviter 'fies tu quoque fortis' ait.
13 nec mora, venit amor: non umbras nocte volantis,
14 non timeo strictas in mea fata manus;
15 te nimium lentum timeo, tibi blandior uni:
16 tu, me quo possis perdere, fulmen habes.
17 adspice (uti videas, inmitia claustra relaxa)
18 uda sit ut lacrimis ianua facta meis.
Folks, I need some serious help with this Latin

Salve Rick
I can help by hunting and fishing and that will leave you free to translate the Latin passage. Will you pay my flight to South Carolina? If you wouldn't mind, I'd also like to visit my brother-in-law in Greenville while I'm there.
In venando et piscando te juvare potero, quod tibi tempus sinet ut locum ex Latino in Anglicum convertas. Denumerabisne pro voluto meo in Carolinam Septentrionalem? Si tibi non molestum erit, dum ibi ero, apud fratrem uxoris in urbe Greenville me visitare voles.

Ovid's Amores is about as easy as it gets. What exactly are you having trouble with?RickT wrote:Hello everyone,
