goodness...

You were so harsh, that neither love nor prayers could mollify (soften) you.

It is a classic example of sequential sentences...

Amore is rather obvious, but "eras" in the context is simply the second person singular imperfect of "esse": ie, you were being. It should not have a long vowel. This does not bring the tenses into agreement, so I could be wrong.

my latin is really rusty...let's see...

eras could be from: era -ae for mistress or lady,

amore could be from: amor -oris for love , passion

the sentence the words are from would probably help.

As I understand it, eras is sex and amore is love.

Peace!
