For your reading pleasure, here is a fable with macrons:


Auceps, rētibus extensīs, captābat Perdicem. Volucris illa captāta supplicabundē illum rogābat ut sē dēmitteret, prōmittens sē in rētia plūrimās Aves allectūram. Cui Auceps: “Nēquāquam hoc faciam, nam procul dubiō mē dēcipiēs, quae sodālēs tuōs prōditūra es.”
