Ille volat, campoque atrum rapit agmen aperto :
Qualis ubi ad terras abrupto sidere nimbus
It mare per medium : miseris, heu, praescia longe
Horrescunt corda agricolis; dabit ille ruinas
Arboribus, stragemque satis; ruet omnia late;
Ante volant, sonitumque ferunt ad litora venti:
Talis in adversos ductor Rhoeteïus hostes
Agmen agit.

1. Parse fully each word which is printed in italics

in the following passage:
Of all the causes which conspire to blind
Man's erring judgment, and misguide the mind,
What the weak head with strongest bias rules,
Is Pride the never-failing vice of fools.
Whatever nature has in worth denied,
She gives in large recruits of needful pride;
For as in bodies, thus in souls, we find
What wants in blood and spirits, swelld with

wind;
Pride, where wit fails, steps in to our defence,
And fills up all the mighty Void of sense.
