Reading out loud: Please read out loud! It's easier than you might expect. There are no silent letters in Latin, and it is very phonetic, which means it is easy to pronounce. Just make sure you pronounce every consonant and every vowel; you can find out more about Latin pronunciation here: Introduction to Latin Pronunciation. Note that Latin does have some diphthongs, a single vowel sound that is written with two vowels; the most common is the ae combination, and you can find out more about the diphthongs here. The word stress is either on the second- or third-syllable from the end, so for the words that are three syllables or longer, I've marked the stress with an accent mark. For words that are two syllables long, the stress has to go on the first syllable.

Meter: Yes, these poems are written in meter, although I have not commented on that in my essays. If you read Latin out loud with the word stress, you will be learning a lot, and if you later go on to learn Latin, you can learn about the quantitative vowel system which provides the basis for the classical Latin meters.
