to tell someone a series or list of things in inglese:

His daughter is able to recite a lot of poems.

She proudly recited the poem.

She recited a poem that she had learnt at school.

Try and recite this at home and you will remember it better.

Recite the names of the members of the Tokugawa clan.

The time would fail me if I were to recite all the big names in history whose exploits are perfectly irrational and even shocking to the business mind.
