Pedicabo Ego Vos - Roman Music

Added 2025-11-09 07:12:33 +0000 UTC

Another historically informed approximation of what Roman music may have sounded like based on the available data, once again created by using the modal framework of Roman music and setting it to the metric structure of their poetry. The melody uses one of the Chromatic modes of Ancient Greco-Roman music, a modal genus with a distinctly jazz-like feel to our ears.

This is my favorite poem from Ancient Rome, by Catullus. Here are the lyrics in English:

I will fuck you in the ass and fuck your mouth,
cocksucker Aurelius and bottom bitch Furius,
who think, from my little verses,
because they're a little soft, that I have no shame.
For it is right for the devoted poet to be chaste
himself, but it's not necessary for his verses to be so.
[Verses] which then indeed have taste and charm,
If they are delicate and have no shame,
And because they can incite an itch,
And I don't mean in boys, but in
Those hairy men who can't move their loins.
You, because about my many thousands of kisses
You've read, you think me less of a man?
I will fuck you in the ass and fuck your mouth.
