Italian to English. Help translating an Italian poem, thank you!

Here is the poem. Any help is appreciated, even just a few lines if possible! Thank you so much!

In questi umili accenti Viene ardita a cantar nostra zampogna Il periglio, la fuega e lo spavento D’ un altra ninfa, I cui dolci vestigi S’ avesse seguitato un altro Apfeo Fra noi s’avrebbe una nova Arethusa.

Fuggia da fiere man di fenti ladre Che venute di la dal gelid ‘Istro Solcando l’ alto mar, trahendo prede E svenando pastor, gregge et armenti, Vaghi di riportane eterni pregi A barbarichi lidi, al bel Petruolo Corsi eran per spogliar le nostre rive Del primo onor: fuggia la bella Ninfa Che splende di belta fra l’ alter belle, Qual fra i lumi minor la Bianca Luna.

Addolorata e sola Fuggia, sparse le chiome a l’aura, e igundo Il santissimo petto e scinta e scalza Le molli piante per l’ oscura notte Per duri sterpi e per deserti monti Sospinto da timor, da gelosia Di vita no, di liberta e d’ onore. Et ne fan fede I rivi, ibalzi e itronchi Che con voce di duol languide e fioche Torno piu volte a dir, fra queste rupi E’ sia meglio il morir, che stando in vita Sbramar la rabbia d’ affamati cani. O qual era sentir il pianto amaro Qual il dolor, de gli angosciosi huai! Per te dunque, dicea, forma infelice, Caduco fior, per te l’ eterno frutto Di mia onesta verdo caduto e sparso Fracido in terra a le piu sporche belve? Tu col tuo van piacer prima cagione Se’ de’ miei mali: tu il nimico stuolo Mi tiri appreso: tu nel gran periglio Di servitu m’ hai posta e di vergogna!

O quante volte al tremolar de l’ora Fra le tenere frondi o al suon d’ un ste Mosso da lei col teneretto piede Tutto di freddo orror si ricoverse, Parendole sentir per le sue orme Il rumor de’ seguenti: e piu dappresso Farlesi d’ or in or; e gia alle spalle Aver la turba e rimaner cattiva.

Ninfa ove fuggi? E perche ‘l dolce viso Guasti col pianto? Vuolsi aver piu cara Tanta belta, per lo cui chiaro grido Vengono amiche a te l’ armate squadre, Che tu fuggi nemica. Il santo amore A te l’ ha porte con l’ aurate penne, Amor, perche ti facia il gran Tiranno Tra le reine sue prima Reina.

Help translating Japanese > English

http://brochures.yokochou.com/guitar-and-amp/greco/1979/en_p3435.html

The above link has descriptions for 4 models of bass guitar from the 70's. They all look the same, but are priced differently, so i'm wondering what the difference is!

Thanks for any help !

English to Spanish: I have sponsored a child from El Salvador through Compassion International.

We can write letters and i was hoping to speed up the process by already having my letter translated. My child is only 3 so the letter would be very simple and short. Anyone willing to help me out about once a month?

Japanese pal

I’m in need of a person fluent in Japanese to help check my sentences and what not and tel me if I’m grammatically correct. I pay in memes and animals memes.

How can we use "use" and "usage"? Is it appropriate to use "software use or software usage".

Thanks all!

Any German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, or Arabic Speakers? (Need a quick sentence translated)

I don't wanna use Google Translate because i'm sure it won't accurately represent the local phrases. But here goes:

So...
There's this Girl
Who Kinda Stole my
HEART
she calls me
DADDY

Daddy's Girl

Japanese translation request

Hello! I hope this subreddit is the right place for this (if not I’ll delete!). I don’t think google translate translates it properly. How would one say “real men” in Japanese? For instance like the sentence “real men wear pink”, if that makes sense? Thank you if anyone can help!
