Hi everyone, my name's Jessica, this is my first post. : )
All year in my Latin class I've made straight A's (yipee!!), but one thing I stuggled on was scanning. Thankfully, we never took a grade on scanning until now.
By monday, as one part of a much bigger final exam project, I need to scan and identify the meter of 25 lines of a poem.
It's frustrating because I see so many people scan something in no time, yet I can't get past one line.
Finally my question: Can someone please, please scan these 25 lines for me? It's the first 25 lines of Amores 1.6, we're doin it as our final poem.
I'm not sure if the best way is to write by hand and scan and send in an email or if there's an easy way to do it all on the computer, but either way I would love it if someone could take the time out of their day to help me out.
My email is [email protected]. If someone could post here and help me out it would be much appreciated!!

1 ianitor (indignum) dura religate catena,
2 difficilem moto cardine pande forem.
3 quod precor, exiguum est: aditu fac ianua parvo
4 obliquum capiat semiadaperta latus.
5 longus amor tales corpus tenuavit in usus
6 aptaque subducto pondere membra dedit;
7 ille per excubias custodum leniter ire
8 monstrat: inoffensos derigit ille pedes.
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.
19 certe ego, cum posita stares ad verbera veste,
20 ad dominam pro te verba tremente tuli.
21 ergo quae valuit pro te quoque gratia quondam,
22 heu facinus! pro me nunc valet illa parum?
23 redde vicem meritis! grato licet esse quod optas.
24 tempora noctis eunt; excute poste seram.
25 excute: sic, inquam, longa relevere catena,
