Horace Odes I, XXVII
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.

Natis in usum laetitiae scyphis
pugnare Thracum est; tollite barbarum
morem uerecundumque Bacchum
sanguineis prohibete rixis.

Vino et lucernis Medus acinaces
immane quantum discrepat; impium
lenite clamorem, sodales,
et cubito remanete presso.

Voltis seueri me quoque sumere
partem Falerni? Dicat Opuntiae
frater Megyllae quo beatus
uolnere, qua pereat sagitta.

Cessat uoluntas? Non alia bibam
mercede. Quae te cumque domat Venus
non erubescendis adurit
ignibus ingenuoque semper

amore peccas. Quicquid habes, age,
depone tutis auribus. A! miser,
quanta laborabas Charybdi,
digne puer meliore flamma.

Quae saga, quis te soluere Thessalis
magus uenenis, quis poterit deus?
uix inligatum te triformi
Pegasus expediet Chimaera.
