What is the translation for the latin phrase "non civium ardor"?

lanfranco

This is Horace, "Carmina," III, 3: Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultis instantis tyranni ... Which means, more or less: The just man who is resolute will not be turned from his purpose either by the rage of the crowd or by an imperious tyrant. "Non civium ardor" in this context would mean "not by the rage of the crowd." Here is Robert Browning's take on Horace's concept: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Instans_Tyrannus Mar 10 06, 8:02 PM
