Cùm semel occideris, et de te splendida Minos
Fecerit arbitria;

Non, Torquate, genus, non te facundia, non te
Restituet pietas.

Infernis neque enim tenebris Diana pudicum
Liberat Hippolytum;

Nec Lethæa valet Theseus abrumpere caro
Vincula Pirithoo.

Livy.

Si aut pacem in Italia, aut bellum cum eo hoste haberemus, in quo negligentiæ laxior locus esset, qui vestris studiis, quæ in campum ad mandandos, quibus velitis, honores affertis, moram ullam offerret, is mihi parum meminisse videretur vestræ libertatis. Sed quum in hoc bello, in hoc hoste, nunquam ab ullo duce sine ingenti nostra clade erratum sit, eadem vos cura, qua in aciem armati descenditis, inire suffragium ad creandos consules decet, et sibi sic quemque dicere: Hannibali imperatori parem consulem nomino.

Hoc

anno ad Capuam Jubellio Taureæ Campano summo equiti provocanti summus Romanus eques Asellus Claudius est oppositus. Adversus Gallum, quondam provocantem in ponte Anienis, T. Manlium, fidentem et animo et viribus, misere majores nostri. Ob eandem causam haud multis annis post fuisse non negaverim, cur M. Valerio non diffideretur, adversus similiter provocantem arma capienti Gallum ad certamen. Quemadmodum pedites equitesque optamus, ut validiores, si minus, ut pares hosti habeamus; ita duci hostium parem imperatorem quæramus.

Tacitus.

Auspicia sortesque, ut qui maxime, observant. Sortium consuetudo simplex. Virgam, frugiferæ arbori decisam, in surculos amputant, eosque, notis quibusdam discretos, super candidam vestem temere ac fortuito spargunt. Mox, si publice consuletur, sacerdos civitatis, sin privatim, ipse paterfamiliæ, precatus deos cœlumque suspiciens, ter singulos tollit, sublatos secundum impressam ante notam interpretatur. Si prohibuerunt, nulla de eadem re in eundem diem consultatio; sin permissum, auspiciorum adhuc fides exigitur. Et illud quidem etiam hic notum, avium voces volatusque interrogare: proprium gentis, equorum quoque præsagia ae monitus experiri. Publice aluntur iisdem nemoribus ac lucis candidi et nullo mortali opere contacti: quos pressos sacro curru sacerdos ac rex vel princeps civitatis comitantur, hinnitusque ac fremitus observant. Nec ulli auspicio major fides, non solum apud plebem, sed apud proceres, apud sacerdotes. Se enim ministros deorum, illos conscios putant. Est et alia observatio auspiciorum, qua gravium bellorum eventus explorant. Ejus gentis, cum qua bellum est, captivum, quoquo modo interceptum, cum electo popularium suorum, patriis quemque armis, committunt. Victoria hujus vel illius pro præjudicio accipitur.

III.-For Translation into Latin Prose:

After the conclusion of the Swiss war, leading men from nearly all the cities of Gaul were deputed to wait upon Cæsar and offer him their congrațu

lations. They said that they were aware that war had been made upon the Swiss for the purpose of inflicting the punishment they had merited by the many acts of injustice of which they had, for so long a time, been guilty towards the Romans, and that they felt the affair had been productive of as much advantage to Gaul as to the Romans themselves; for, in point of fact, the Swiss had, during a state of unexampled prosperity, quitted their own country with the view of attacking the whole of Gaul at once; that their intention was to gain possession of a territory where they might choose for themselves, out of the great number of convenient localities the Gauls possessed, one which should be most advantageous and convenient, and reduce the other states to the condition of tributaries.

IV.-For Translation into Latin Verse:

To fair Fidele's grassy tomb,

Soft maids and village hinds shall bring,
Each opening sweet of earliest bloom,
And rifle all the breathing spring.
No wailing ghost shall dare appear,
To vex with shrieks this quiet grove,
But shepherd lads assemble here,

And melting virgins own their love.
The red-breast oft at evening hour,
Shall kindly lend his little aid,
With hoary moss and gather'd flowers,

To deck the ground where thou art laid.

Xenophon, Anabasis.

Εντεῦθεν ἐξελαύνει σταθμοὺς δύο παρασάγγας δέκα ἐπὶ τὸν Ψάρον ποταμόν, οὗ ἦν τὸ εὖρος τρία πλέθρα. ἐντεῦθεν ἐξελαύνει σταθμὸν ἕνα παρασάγγας πέντε ἐπὶ τὸν Πύραμον ποταμόν, οὗ τὸ εὖρος στάδιον. ἐντεῦθεν ἐξελαύνει σταθμοὺς δύο παρασάγγας πεντεκαίδεκα εἰς Ἰσσούς, τῆς Κιλικίας ἐσχάτην πόλιν, ἐπὶ τῇ θαλάττῃ οἰκουμένην, μεγάλην καὶ εὐδαίμονα. ἐνταῦθα ἔμειναν ἡμέρας τρεῖς καὶ Κύρῳ παρῆσαν αἱ ἐκ Πελοποννήσου νῆες τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε καὶ ἐπ ̓ αὐταῖς ναύαρχος Πυθαγόρας Λακεδαιμόνιος. ἡγεῖτο δ' αὐτῶν Ταμὼς Αἰγύπ τιος ἐξ Εφέσου, ἔχων ναῦς ἑτέρας Κύρου πέντε καὶ εἴκοσιν, αἷς ἐπολιόρκει Μίλητον, ὅτε Τισσαφέρνει φίλη ἦν, καὶ συνεπολέμει Κύρῳ πρὸς αὐτόν. παρῆν δὲ καὶ Χειρίσοφος Λακεδαιμόνιος ἐπὶ τῶν νεῶν, μετάπεμπτος ἀπὸ Κύρου, ἑπτακοσίους ἔχων ὁπλίτας, ὧν ἐστρατήγει παρὰ Κύρῳ. αἱ δὲ νῆες ὥρμουν παρὰ τὴν Κύρου σκηνήν. ενταῦθα καὶ οἱ παρ' Ἀβροκόμα μισθοφόροι Έλληνες ἀποστάντες ἦλθον παρὰ Κῦρον, τετρακόσιοι ὁπλῖται, καὶ συνεστρατεύοντο ἐπὶ βασιλέα.
