Same rules as before. Another riddle for you guys. This one's hard (fast and penetrating) :rolleyes:

------

Angelicas populis epulas dispono frequenter,
Grandisonis aures verbis cava guttufa complent,
Succedit vox sed mihi nulla out lingua loquendi,
Et bino alarum fulci gestamine cernor,
Queis sed abest penitus virtus jam tota volandi,
Dum solus subter constat mihi pes sine passu.

Translation:
Angelic food to folk I oft dispense,
While sounds majestic fill attentive ears,
Yet neither voice have I nor tongue for speech.
In brave equipment of two wings I shine,
But wings withouten any skill to fly:
One foot I have to stand, but not a foot to go.

Good Luck! :thumbup:

Oh did I type that out loud.
I’ll call it free association.
Dante's Inferno [Hell]-Gamer’s Hell.
He wrote in Latin and Italian.
I see Latin and think Dante first.
Don’t mean to confuse the riddle man.
Or did I? e.g.:
"Through me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Justice urged on my high artificer;
My maker was divine authority,
The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me nothing but eternal things were made,
And I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."

Anyway I was just kidding.
