READ OUT LOUD. Choose which marked text you prefer to practice with - macrons in verse form, or macrons in prose order, or accent marks in prose order, or focusing on the meter. You will find materials for all of these options below. :-)
VERSE MACRONS. Here is the verse text with macrons:
Morbī mōle iacet milvus mātremque precātur,

Māter ait: Mī nāte, deōs et sacra deōrum

Crīminis ultōres pēnsant prō crīmine poenam.

Tē cōgit timor esse pium, tē poena fidēlem.

Quī maculat vītam, mundās cūr incolit ārās?

PROSE MACRONS. Here is the same text with macrons written out in prose word order:
Milvus iacet, morbī mōle, et mātrem precātur, ut superīs prō sē sacra det et precēs det. Māter ait: Mī nāte, deōs et sacra deōrum laesistī; deī impia facta recolunt. Crīminis ultōres poenam prō crīmine pēnsant. Cum sacra turbārēs, poena timenda fuit. Timor cōgit tē pium esse, poena tē fidēlem. Cum nece hic timor, haec pietas sēra venit. Quī vītam maculat, cūr ārās mundās incolit? Quem facta sua premunt, cūr aliēna levant?
STRESS (ACCENT) MARKS. Here is the prose text with accents, plus some color-coding for the words of three or more syllables (blue: penultimate stress; red: antepenultimate stress):
Milvus iacet, morbi mole, et matrem precátur, ut súperis pro se sacra det et preces det. Mater ait: Mi nate, deos et sacra deórum laesísti; dei ímpia facta récolunt. Críminis ultóres poenam pro crímine pensant. Cum sacra turbáres, poena timénda fuit. Timor cogit te pium esse, poena te fidélem. Cum nece hic timor, haec píetas sera venit. Qui vitam máculat, cur aras mundas íncolit? Quem facta sua premunt, cur aliéna levant?
ELEGIAC COUPLET METER. Below I have used an interpunct dot · to indicate the metrical elements in each line, and a double line || to indicate the hemistichs of the pentameter line.

Here is an illustration from the Medici Aesop, which is online at the New York Public Library website.
What follows is an unmarked version of the prose rendering to faciliate word searches:
Milvus iacet, morbi mole, et matrem precatur, ut superis pro se sacra det et preces det. Mater ait: Mi nate, deos et sacra deorum laesisti; dei impia facta recolunt. Criminis ultores poenam pro crimine pensant. Cum sacra turbares, poena timenda fuit. Timor cogit te pium esse, poena te fidelem. Cum nece hic timor, haec pietas sera venit. Qui vitam maculat, cur aras mundas incolit? Quem facta sua premunt, cur aliena levant?
