Robin Bond, Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, recorded Book One of Horace's Odes one Sunday morning, for the use of his students, and has kindly released the recording for posting here on Latinum. Here is the eighth poem, from Book One.
Lydia, dic, per omnis
te deos oro, Sybarin cur properes amando
perdere, cur apricum
oderit Campum, patiens pulueris atque solis,
cur neque militaris
inter aequalis equitet, Gallica nec lupatis
temperet ora frenis.
Cur timet flauum Tiberim tangere? Cur oliuum
sanguine uiperino
cautius uitat neque iam liuida gestat armis
bracchia, saepe disco
saepe trans finem iaculo nobilis expedito?
quid latet, ut marinae
filium dicunt Thetidis sub lacrimosa Troia
funera, ne uirilis
cultus in caedem et Lycias proriperet cateruas?
