Fantastic! Years ago, this sort of thing was part of a good education. I seem to remember that Winston Churchill in his memoirs writing that, as a boy, he had to memorize and recite this very same poem. Personally I wouldn't be able to recite three or four lines. YouTube needs more poetry! It could also do with audio readings of some of the more beautiful prose, too.
You get five stars just for doing the reading. Serious, you rock!
This is a great lay and one that should be remembered. It is the basis for the classic "Last Stand" and "None Shall Pass" motif / themes in modern literature.
I'd like to actually see more of these on Youtube, There are very few good classical recitations by memory by Children. If anyone would like to send me a link to one, that would be super.

This recitation by memory is only selected portions of Horatius at the Bridge.

Thank you. An epic lay by Lord Macaulay. Wonderful.
