Tarda, gradu lento, specioso praedita dorso;
Docta quidem studio, sed duro prodita fato
Viva nihil dixi, quae sic modo mortua canto.

Peck:

My gait is slow, though splendidly I'm dressed,
And learnèd, though by envious fate oppressed,
Alive I nothing say, but dead, my voice is blessed.

Ohl:

Slow, with tardy tread and beauteous back endowed; learned indeed in my zeal, but by cruel fate betrayed, when living not a word I spoke, who dead in this wise sing.

Give up? Here's the answer.
