    Talking Need Help please!!!

    Hi everyone.. I need help with this text.
    I need to do the translation into Spanish... but I can't do it well in spanish.
    I will preciate your help..

    "When they drew nigh to Heracles, the first pursued the even tenor of her way; but the other, all eager to outdo her, ran to meet him, crying:

    "Heracles, I see that you are in doubt which path to take towards life. Meke me your frien; follow me, and I will lead you along the pleasantest and easiest road.

    You shall taste all the sweets of life; and hardship you shall never know. First, of wars and worries you shall not think, but shall ever be considering what choice food or drink you can find, what sight or sound will delight you,

    what touch or perfume, what tender love can give you most joy, what bed the softest slumbers, and how to come by all these pleasures with least trouble.

    And should there arise misgiving that lack of means may stint your enjoyments, never fear that I may lead you into winning them by toil and anguish of body and soul.

    Hi La Luna...Here's my humble attempt at translating this text. I'm not at all certain that any of it is correct but maybe you can use it as a starting off point.

    Cuando se acercaron a Heracles, el primero siguió el tenor nivelado de su camino; mas el otro, tan entusiasmado estaba de salir delante de ella, corrió hacia él, gritando:

    ‘Heracles, veo que no estás seguro de qué camino tomar hacia la vida. Hazme tu amigo; sígueme, y yo te llevaré por la carretera más placentera y más fácil.

    Probarás lo más dulce de la vida; y nunca conocerás la dificultad. Primero, ni en guerras ni en preocupaciones pensarás, pero estarás contemplando la comida y bebida de primera calidad que podrás hallar, qué vista o sonido te deleitará,

    qué tocar o perfume, qué amor tierno te dará más alegría, qué cama en la que se duerme más suavemente, y cómo lograr todos estos placeres con el mínimo esfuerzo.

    Y si resulta surgir algún recelo que la falta de recursos te puedan privar de tu goce, nunca temas pues yo puedo guiarte a superarlos mediante el trabajo arduo y la angustia en cuerpo y alma.'
