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 tenth poem, from Book One.
Mercuri, facunde nepos Atlantis,
qui feros cultus hominum recentum
uoce formasti catus et decorae
more palaestrae,
te canam, magni Iouis et deorum
nuntium curuaeque lyrae parentem,
callidum quicquid placuit iocoso
condere furto.
Te, boues olim nisi reddidisses
per dolum amotas, puerum minaci
uoce dum terret, uiduus pharetra
risit Apollo.
Quin et Atridas duce te superbos
Ilio diues Priamus relicto
Thessalosque ignis et iniqua Troiae
castra fefellit.
Tu pias laetis animas reponis
sedibus uirgaque leuem coerces
aurea turbam, superis deorum
gratus et imis.
