[Envious Time]
Fragments from Horace
composed by Timothy Salter
performed by The Ionian Singers

00:00 I
Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero
pulsanda tellus.
(Now is the time to enjoy the wine! Now make the earth shake with exuberant dancing!)
Odes bk.1, no.37 line 1.

01:26 II
Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt.…… quod petis hic est, est Ulubris, animus si te non deficit aequus.
(Those who run away across the sea change their horizon but not their nature. You will find what you seek here, at Ulubrae, so long as you are still at peace with yourself.)
Epistles bk.1, no.11 line 27

03:59 III
Dum loquimur, fugerit invida aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
(While we are talking, envious time will have slipped away; seize the day, trusting the future as little as possible.)
Odes bk.1, no.11 line 7.

05:32 IV
Hoc erat in votis: modus agri non ita magnus, hortus ubi et tecto vicinus iugis aquae fons et paulum silvae super his foret.
(In my prayers I asked for this: some land – but not too much – where there would be a garden near the house, a spring of ever-flowing water, and as well as these, a little patch of woodland.)
Satires bk.2, no.6 line 1

08:15 V
O navis, referent in mare te novi fluctus!
O quid agis? fortiter occupa portum!
(O ship, unknown waves will carry you out to sea!
O what risks are you taking? Make for the harbour with all your might!)
Odes bk.1, no.14 line 1
