READ OUT LOUD. Choose which marked text you prefer to practice with - macrons or accent marks - and read the text out loud until you feel comfortable and confident. Then, try reading the unmarked text at the bottom. It should be easy for you after practicing with the marked texts. :-)
MACRONS. Here is the text with macrons:
Quattuor fuēre Taurī quī, inter sē invicem societāte initā, foedus faciēbant commūnem ipsōrum esse salūtem et commūne perīculum. Hoc observāvit ēsuriēns et indīgnābundus Leō, quī quamvis grandī premerētur fame, coniunctōs tamen aggredī nōn ausus est. Hoc ergō cōnsilium cēpit: prīmum verbīs fallācibus ūnum ab alterō sēgregāvit, deinde sēgregātōs facile laniāvit.
ACCENT MARKS. Here is the text with ecclesiastical accents, plus some color-coding for the words of three or more syllables (blue: penultimate stress; red: antepenultimate stress):
Quáttuor fuére Tauri qui, inter se ínvicem societáte ínita, foedus faciébant commúnem ipsórum esse salútem et commúne perículum. Hoc observávit esúriens et indignabúndus Leo, qui quamvis grandi premerétur fame, coniúnctos tamen ággredi non ausus est. Hoc ergo consílium cepit: primum verbis fallácibus unum ab áltero segregávit, deinde segregátos fácile laniávit.
UNMARKED TEXT. Here is the unmarked text - after practicing with the marked text that you prefer, you should not have any trouble with the unmarked text:
Quattuor fuere Tauri qui, inter se invicem societate inita, foedus faciebant communem ipsorum esse salutem et commune periculum. Hoc observavit esuriens et indignabundus Leo, qui quamvis grandi premeretur fame, coniunctos tamen aggredi non ausus est. Hoc ergo consilium cepit: primum verbis fallacibus unum ab altero segregavit, deinde segregatos facile laniavit.
