Horace Odes I, XXV
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.

Parcius iunctas quatiunt fenestras
iactibus crebris iuuenes proterui
nec tibi somnos adimunt amatque
ianua limen,

quae prius multum facilis mouebat
cardines. Audis minus et minus iam:
'Me tuo longas pereunte noctes,
Lydia, dormis?'

Inuicem moechos anus arrogantis
flebis in solo leuis angiportu
Thracio bacchante magis sub
interlunia uento,

cum tibi flagrans amor et libido,
quae solet matres furiare equorum,
saeuiet circa iecur ulcerosum
non sine questu,

laeta quod pubes hedera uirenti
gaudeat pulla magis atque myrto,
aridas frondes hiemis sodali
dedicet Euro.
