Ode 3.1 (English translation by A.S. Kline)
Odi profanum volgus et arceo.
Favete linguis: carmina non prius
audita Musarum sacerdos
virginibus puerisque canto.
Regum timendorum in proprios greges, 5
reges in ipsos imperium est Iovis,
clari Giganteo triumpho,
cuncta supercilio moventis.
Est ut viro vir latius ordinet
arbusta sulcis, hic generosior 10
descendat in campum petitor,
moribus hic meliorque fama
contendat, illi turba clientium
sit maior: aequa lege Necessitas
sortitur insignis et imos,
omne capax movet urna nomen. 15
Destrictus ensis cui super impia
cervice pendet, non Siculae dapes
dulcem elaboratum saporem,
non avium citharaequecantus 20
Somnum reducent: somnus agrestium
lenis virorum non humilis domos
fastidit umbrosamque ripam,
non Zephyris agitata tempe.
Desiderantem quod satis est neque 25
tumultuosum sollicitat mare,
nec saevus Arcturi cadentis
impetus aut orientis Haedi,
non verberatae grandine vineae
fundusque mendax, arbore nunc aquas 30
culpante, nunc torrentia agros
sidera, nunc hiemes iniquas.
Contracta pisces aequora sentiunt
iactis in altum molibus: huc frequens
caementa demittit redemptor
cum famulis dominusque terrae 35
fastidiosus: sed Timor et Minae
scandunt eodem quo dominus, neque
decedit aerata triremi et
post equitem sedet atra Cura. 40
Quod si dolentem nec Phrygius lapis
nec purpurarum sidere clarior
delenit usus nec Falerna
uitis Achaemeniumque costum,
cur invidendis postibus et novo 45
sublime ritu moliar atrium?
Cur valle permutem Sabina
divitias operosiores?

We translated this poem in my Latin class last semester. I forgot how much I love Horace. Thank you for the recitation!

Thank you for this. I would appreciate if you could provide a rendition of Horace's Bandusian ode (3.13), one of my personal favorites.

The camera angle is a little off, and the green screen effects leave much to be desired, but the performance was solid so I'm rolling with it.

The only thing I dislike about your pronunciation is that the consonant quality is mute making the sounds barely perceptible when compared to open vowels. Maybe a microphone pitch adjustment of 10% on the highs would fix that.
