Latin help?

Featured Replies

I'm writing an SATB choral piece that follows the text of a poem written by Ovid.

The latin for it (as I've found it) goes like this:

<...>

Sic erit; Haeserunt tenues in corde sagittae,

[Et] possessa ferus pectora versat Amor.

Cedimus, an subitum luctando accendimus ignem?

Cedamus! Leve fit, quod bene fertur, onus.

<...>

(_(Thus it will be; slender arrows are lodged in my heart,

[and] Love vexes the chest that it has seized

Shall I surrender or stir up the sudden flame by fighting it?

I will surrender - a burden becomes light when it is carried willingly.)_)

[brackets] Are words I won't be using in the piece.

Is this a correct translation? If not, are there any corrections I could make?

Doesn't look bad to me. I would try to find a translation online for it... I'm sure there is one.

Yep, good old google is equiped to do searches solely under the '.edu' domain! Hence why I said to google it.
