Words per minute #1: Horace on Autonomy

Ac ne forte roges, quo me duce, quo lare tuter,
Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri.

(Horace, Epistles 1:1:13-14)

You shall not ask for whom I fight
Nor in what school my peace I find;
I say no master has the right
To swear me to obedience blind.

(trans. C.T. Carr)
