Latin
Quantus - how great, so great as, such as Quando - when, since. To illustrate this, here is part of a medieval Latin poem, Dies Irae, which, I believe, is used in the Catholic liturgy, in the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass. Quantus tremor est futurus, Quando iudex est venturus Cuncta stricte discussurus! How great a tremor is to be, when the judge is to come briskly shattering every grave.

I didn't notice actually :]
Ira - wrath, Latin As in the name of the medieval poem I mentioned earlier on, Dies Irae - The Day of Wrath - the poem is a powerful description of Judgement Day and, as I understand it, a prayer to Jesus for mercy. Perhaps someone better versed in Latin could confirm. Magister? :] 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry, can't help you. I'm well-versed in pagan Latin, not Christian Latin :] But I did once own a CD by an Italian band called Dies Irae. All the lyrics were in Latin. :] 1 person has voted this message useful |
