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.
O matre pulchra filia pulchrior,
quem criminosis cumque uoles modum
pones iambis, siue flamma
siue mari libet Hadriano.
Non Dindymene, non adytis quatit
mentem sacerdotum incola Pythius,
non Liber aeque, non acuta
sic geminant Corybantes aera,
tristes ut irae, quas neque Noricus
deterret ensis nec mare naufragum
nec saeuus ignis nec tremendo
Iuppiter ipse ruens tumultu.
Fertur Prometheus addere principi
limo coactus particulam undique
desectam et insani leonis
uim stomacho apposuisse nostro.
Irae Thyesten exitio graui
strauere et altis urbibus ultimae
stetere causae, cur perirent
funditus inprimeretque muris
hostile aratrum exercitus insolens.
Conpesce mentem: me quoque pectoris
temptauit in dulci iuuenta
feruor et in celeres iambos
misit furentem. Nunc ego mitibus
mutare quaero tristia, dum mihi
fias recantatis amica
opprobriis animumque reddas.
