Subj: [kl] Now here's a question that you are not likely to expect

Beleive it or not, it is a musicological question. The following inscription
(in Latin) appears on an engraving of Mozart. It says, "Dignum laude irum
Musa uetat mori." The line is taken from the Greek poet Horace, Carmina IV,
8, 28.

Can someone with a better grasp of the classics take a swipe at translating
this, please??
