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.

Pastor cum traheret per freta nauibus
Idaeis Helenen perfidus hospitam,
ingrato celeris obruit otio
uentos ut caneret fera

Nereus fata: 'Mala ducis aui domum
quam multo repetet Graecia milite,
coniurata tuas rumpere nuptias
et regnum Priami uetus.

Heu, heu, quantus equis, quantus adest uiris
sudor! Quanta moues funera Dardanae
genti! Iam galeam Pallas et aegida
currusque et rabiem parat.

Nequicquam Veneris praesidio ferox
pectes caesariem grataque feminis
inbelli cithara carmina diuides;
nequicquam thalamo grauis

hastas et calami spicula Cnosii
uitabis strepitumque et celerem sequi
Aiacem: tamen, heu serus, adulteros
crines puluere collines.

Non Laertiaden, exitium tuae
gentis, non Pylium Nestora respicis?
Vrgent inpauidi te Salaminius
Teucer, te Sthenelus sciens

pugnae, siue opus est imperitare equis,
non auriga piger; Merionen quoque
nosces. Ecce furit te reperire atrox
Tydides melior patre,

quem tu, ceruus uti uallis in altera
uisum parte lupum graminis inmemor,
sublimi fugies mollis anhelitu,
non hoc pollicitus tuae.

Iracunda diem proferet Ilio
matronisque Phrygum classis Achillei;
post certas hiemes uret Achaicus
ignis Iliacas domos.
