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:
Rāna, cupida aequandī Bovem, sē distendēbat. Fīlius hortābātur Mātrem coeptō dēsistere; nihil enim esse Rānam ad Bovem. Illa autem, posthabito cōnsiliō, secundum intumuit. Clāmitat Nātus: “Crepēs licet, Māter, Bovem nunquam vincēs.” Tertium autem cum intumuisset, crepuit.
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):
Rana, cúpida aequándi Bovem, se distendébat. Fílius hortabátur Matrem coepto desístere; nihil enim esse Ranam ad Bovem. Illa autem, posthábito consílio, secúndum intúmuit. Clámitat Natus: “Crepes licet, Mater, Bovem nunquam vinces.” Tértium autem cum intumuísset, crépuit.
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:
Rana, cupida aequandi Bovem, se distendebat. Filius hortabatur Matrem coepto desistere; nihil enim esse Ranam ad Bovem. Illa autem, posthabito consilio, secundum intumuit. Clamitat Natus: “Crepes licet, Mater, Bovem nunquam vinces.” Tertium autem cum intumuisset, crepuit.
