Latin poetry: Martial 1 109 (Hendecasyllabic verse)

An example of hendecasyllabic verse, which basically has the following pattern ( _=long, u=short):
__ __/__uu/__u/__u/__u
I learned latin independently, so the pronunciation, the rythm, the entonation and everything basically comes from what I understood studying with books and without receiving any kind of feedback. Therefore, I do not know if I am doing it right and will IMMENSELY appreciate your comments. Thanks!

Somehow I don't manage to post the link. Sorry. But he calls himself Lpz2001. So if you search Lateinische Metrik, you're gonna recognize his videos. Enjoy :o) !

There is a really GREAT new series on you tube: a german scholar reading a lot of poetry. You find it if you search "Lateinische Metrik". Hang on, I'll still get a link...

I find it hard to believe that the original speakers sounded like emotionless drones.

No, no, no. Jc625 wants (who knows why?) to sound Finnish.

Just try to pronounce "suomalaiset". But sloooowly.

I am very sorry to disappoint you,but not only you don't respect the meter correctly,but you pronounce horribly!

Está mal recitado , no sabes recitar latín, haces largas como breves... mal.

love the tongue roll

Beautiful. Though I only know a little about Latin, it's as if the meaning is conveyed in the meter and the music of the tongue. I can't say with any expert opinion, but I really enjoyed this video and will now pursue a greater understanding of the subject. Thank you.
