Mihi Est Propositum In Taberna Mori - Walter Mapes - 12th Century

Download this episode (3 min)   

MIHI est propositum in taberna mori
Vinum sit appositum morientis ori
Ut dicant cum venerint Angelorum chori
Deus sit propitius huic potatori

Poculis accenditur animi lucerna
Cor imbutum nectare volat ad superna
Mihi sapit dulcius vinum in taberna
Quam quod aqua miscuit prassulis pincerna

Suum cuique proprium dat natura munus
Ego nunquam potui scribere jejunus
Me jejunum vincere posset puer unus
Sitim et jejunium odi tanquam funus"

"Unicuique proprium dat natura donum
Ego versus faciens vinum bibo bonum
Et quod habent melius dolia cauponum
Tale vinum generat copiam sermonum

Tales versus facio quale vinum bibo
Nihil possum scribere nisi sumpto cibo
Nihil valet penitus quod jejunus scribo
Nasonem post calices carmine praeibo

Mihi nunquam spiritus prophetias datur
Nisi tune cum fuerit venter bene satur
Cum in arce cerebri Bacchus dominator
In me Phoebus irruit ac miranda fatur

Prope quondam ad fodinam Tarentinus in casa
auri fossor habitabat fodiens cum filia.

Chorus :
bella, bella, Tarentina, meum mel et corculum
in aeternum nunc amissa me fecisti miserum

illa mane compellebat anates ad aquulam.
olim lapsa ruit praeceps in paludem mediam.

Chorus :
bella, bella, Tarentina, meum mel et corculum
in aeternum nunc amissa me fecisti miserum

labra rubra super aquam flabant bullas bellulas;
eheu! nare nesciebam: Tarentina, valeas!

Chorus :
bella, bella, Tarentina, meum mel et corculum
in aeternum nunc amissa me fecisti miserum

desiderium puellae quantum cepit me meae!
sed sororem eius nuper osculatus sum - babae!

Chorus :
bella, bella, Tarentina, meum mel et corculum
in aeternum nunc amissa me fecisti miserum

"Considering our present advanced state of Culture, and how the Torch of Science has now been brandished and borne about, with more or less effect, for five thousand years and upwards; how, in these times especially, not only the Torch still burns, and perhaps more fiercly than ever, but innumerable rushlights, and Sulphur-matches, kindled thereat, are also glancing in every direction, so that not the smallest cranny or doghole in Nature or Art can remain unilluminated, - it might strike the reflective mind with some surprise that hitherto little or nothing of a fundamental character, whether in the way of Philosophy or History, has been written on the subject of Clothes"

Harvard University 2007 Latin Salutatory Address

Reproduced here on Latinum with the kind permission of Charley McNamara, who delivered the address at Harvard's 356th Commencement.

“Iohannes Harvard, Eques Iediensis”
By: Charles J. McNamara


Praeses Bok, Decani et Professores, familiae et amici, atque omnes gradum suscepturi in hoc anno MMVII, salvete! Salvete et vos, imaginum mobilium cultores! Libenter vobis exhibeo aestivum nostrum spectaculum, quod agitur in orbis terrarum elegantissimo argenteo velamento, Theatro Tercentenario. Sono circumiecto, actoribus similibus caeli astris, et foricis frequentatis fruamini. Nos hodie ad fabulae nostrae Harvardianae exitum stupefacientem advenimus. Fabula autem nostra valde similis est argumento alterius fabulae. Illa enim pertinet ad arma virumque, et abhinc multum tempus incidit…procul longissime in via lactea. Vita nostra Harvardiana, videtis, similis est Bellis Stellaribus.

Abhinc quosdam annos, ad urbem Bostoniensem, universi rotae centrum, tamquam inexercitati equites Iedienses advenimus. Graphidum secundi ordinis copia numquam sociorum docentium atramenti rufi enses luciferos vincere potuit. Multi discipuli procul ab orbe natali primum erant. Quamquam spectaculi principes eramus, sollicitudines nostrae erant tam infinitae quam caeli stellae: “Quam personam ago?” “Litteras meas meminero?” “Quisnam praecipit?”

Cito autem amicitias calidiores sole fabricavimus, quae superare tempora difficilia nos adiuverunt. Han Solo, tuus dilectissimus Utentium Auxiliator, te servavit cum tuum IBM RII-DII libellum tuum Miltonianum ederat. Filia Regis Leia, praeclara femina inter omnes vias lacteas, crines tuos compsit celerius luce ante primam saltationem tuam. Chewbacca etiam, habitator perennis in Sede Scientiae, prohibuit ne nota mathematica tua in transcripto lacuna nigra fieret.

Sed nos discipuli huius spectaculi gregis dimidia tantum pars eramus. Huius saeculi sapientiae Iediensis Antistites, magistri scilicet nostri, partes suas tam scite egerunt ut palmam ferre mererent. Multi eorum assimulabant Obi-Wano; curati enim lautique erant. Alii vero…Yodam sapiebant. Omnes autem nobis consilium sapientiamque in artibus suis donaverunt ut universi exempla ducesque fieremus.

Hodie ex optima academia Iediensi in tota via lactea gradum suscipimus. Haec universitas nos armat illa Vi, fortiore etiam Mortifera Stella Novi Portus. Pergamena nostra similia sunt veris luciferis ensibus: pretiosissima sunt, mirabilia sunt spectantibus, et eripere e manibus hostium orbem terrarum possunt. Sapienter novis armis vestris utimini, socii Lucae Caelum Perambulantes.

Fabula nostrae vitae Harvardianae iam ad finem vergit et ad participium indicem. Ante disceditis, ne oblivisicimini agere gratias fautoribus benignissimis—parentes nostros dico—qui nos hanc fabulam agentes largiter sustinuerunt. Atque hoc spectaculum non ultimum est! Alumnorum Conlegium iam in fabularum officina laborat ut redire ad theatrum velimus et partibus sequentibus fruamur. Omnibus in corona sedentibus, gratias vobis agimus quod nostrum spectaculum tam benevole videritis. Precor ut illa Vis Harvardiana semper vobiscum sit!

You'll find the video file here in fouchadon's video collection , it's called "Weezer in Latin". Great fun.

There's some other cool Latin language stuff in his collection as well - "The Princess Bride", a "Wizard of Oz" skit and a Rap.

Daniel has also told me about this site of his, where you can also download his latin videos:

And something totally different - a video of "Breaking Free", with the lyrics in Latin as subtitles. Not a bad production.

Check out their website:
http://www.ista-latina.de/demos.php

A German hip hop band which raps in Latin. The band, Ista, was formed by a group of Classics pupils at a school in Wilhelmshaven in the 1990's.

The original seven members, which included Mr Barwig, who checked that the grammar was right, are now living scattered across Germany, having since grown up and become architects, teachers, a nurse and parents.

"Over the years we have sold around 2,500 CDs," said Mr Janssen. "Between 10 and 20 are bought per month, from our internet site.

"But in the last couple of years that has doubled and the media interest has been enormous. People have found us over the internet and we have sold CDs to people in the US and all across Europe."

A debate has been raging in German educational circles about whether Latin should be taught in school any more - and Ista is suddenly all the rage again.

"Latin is a good language to rap in actually. It has a good rhythm and can be to the point," says Janssen.
