Beleive it or not, it is a musicological question. The following
inscription
(in Latin) appears on an engraving of Mozart. It says, "Dignum laude

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??
