OP I need a bit of Latin translation help. I'll give you what I have so far:
Code:
Eram nive candidior, I was whiter than the snow,
quavis ave formosior.
Modo sum corvo nigrior. Now I am blacker than a crow.
Can anyone give me a decent translation of the middle line? It doesn't have to be a poetic translation. In fact I would prefer a literal translation. It's that pesky word quavis that's bugging me.
