Would someone kindly let me know whether or not I have this right?

Aeneid IV:1-5:

-   - - u   u -  -  - -    - uu  - x
At regina gravi iamdudum saucia cura
 -  u  u -   - -  -    - -  -  u u  -  x
vulnus alit venis et caeco carpitur igni.
 -  u  u -  -  -  u u -  -  -   u  u -  x
multa viri virtus animo multusque recursat
 -  u   u -     - -   -  - -  -  u u  -  x
gentis honos; haerent infixi pectore vultus
 -  u  u  -    u u -   -   -   -   - u   u- x
verbaque nec placidam membris dat cura quietem.

I’ve read a few things on how to scan and wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.

Thanks much in advance,
Chris
