this immoderate translation

Text by Apuleius from "The Golden Ass":

this immoderate translation
of celestial honors
to the worship of a mortal virgin
has inflamed my mind
she shall not usurp my honors
for I will cause her to repent
of her illicit beauty
such mighty wickedness
effects nothing useful and good

Performance by Artemis Vocal Ensemble (Alyssa Anderson, Alia Jeraj, Tara Loeper, and Elizabeth Windnagel) and Justin Anthony Spenner
