LATIN.

(Time allowed, 3 hours.)

1. Translate into English, parsing the words in italics:

(a.) Æthiopes, pardorum leonumque pellibus amicti, arcus habent prælongos: sagittas vero breves: his pro ferro lapides acuti præfixi sunt. Hastas præterea habent, his præfixa sunt cornua cervorum: habent etiam clavas nodosas. Corporis dimidium, in pugnam prodeuntes, creta dealbatum habent, dimidium minio pictum. Alii caput tectum habent pelle equina, de capite equi detracta, cum auribus et juba. Pro scutis gruum pellibus corpora tegunt.

(b.) Interim advenit Persicus exercitus; sed quum pontem solutum vidissent, magnopere timebant ne ab Ionibus desererentur. Erat tunc apud Darium vir Ægyptius, omnium hominum maxima voce præditus. Hunc Darius jussit, in ripa stantem, vocare Histiæum Milesium. Quod ubi fecit, Histiæus statim, navibus omnibus ad trajiciendum exercitum paratis, pontem junxit. Ita Persæ e Scytharum manibus effugerunt.

(c.) Ad hæc Iones responderunt: "Nos Ionia misit ut mare custodiamus; non ut naves nostras tradentes Cypriis, ipsi cum Persis pedestri acie confligamus. Nos igitur, qua parte locati sumus, in ea utilem præstare operam conabimur: vos autem, memores qualia Persis parentes passi ab illis sitis, fortes viros esse oportet." Post hæc, quum Persæ in Salaminiorum advenissent campum, aciem instruxerunt reges Cypriorum: ita quidem ut ceteros Cyprios hostium ceteris militibus opponerent, Persis autem fortissimos e Salaminiis selectos. Contra Artybium vero, ducem Persarum, lubens stetit Onesilus.

(d.) Post digressum Persarum ex hac regione, commota tremuit Delos: quod nec ante id tempus, ut aiunt Delii, nec post, ad meam usque ætatem, factum est. Et hoc quidem prodigium edidit Deus, ut imminentia hominibus mala significaret. Constat autem regnantibus Dario, Xerxe, Artaxerxe, plura mala afflixisse Græciam quam per viginti alias generationes quæ ante Darium exstiterint. Itaque non sine causa commota est Delos. Et in vaticinio ita scriptum est:

Et Delum, quamvis sit adhuc immota, movebo.

Hæc autem tria nomina hoc significant Græco sermone: Darius coërcitorem,
Xerxes bellatorem, Artaxerxes magnum bellatorem.

2. (a.) Give the principal parts of the verbs to which belong jussit, trajiciendum, junxit, tradentes, stetit, scriptum est.

(b.) Where was Delos, and for what was it famous?

(N. B.-The aid of dictionaries is permitted for the rest of the paper.)

3. Translate into English:

Otho, occiso Galbâ, invasit imperium, materno genere nobilior, quam paterno, neutro tamen obscuro: in privatâ vitâ mollis, et Neronis familiaris: in imperio documentum sui non potuit ostendere. Nam cum iisdem temporibus, quibus Otho Galbam occiderat, etiam Vitellius factus esset a Germanicianis exercitibus imperator, bello contra eum suscepto, cum apud Bebriacum in Italiâ levi prælio victus esset, ingentes tamen copias ad bellum haberet, sponte semetipsum occidit, petentibus militibus, ne tam cito de belli desperaret eventu, cum tanti se non esse dixisset, ut propter eum civile bellum commoveretur. Voluntariâ morte obiit, trigesimo et octavo ætatis anno, nonagesimo et quinto imperii die.

4. Translate into Latin:

(a.) The whole of the country was desolated by a great famine.

The master of the parish.

As a country schoolmaster was one day entering his school-room he was met by a certain nobleman, who asked him his name and vocation.

II. Translate into English:

Un toast littéraire.

Le poète anglais Campbell fut invité à dîner par son éditeur. Tous les autres convives étaient des libraires. Au dessert, l'hôte invita le célèbre auteur à porter un toast littéraire. Campbell se leva et dit solennellement: "à Napoléon"! Les convives furent fort surpris, car les sentiments libéraux de l'éminent écrivain étaient connus, et de plus on savait qu'il était grand ennemi de Bonaparte. "Mais, monsieur," dit l'éditeur, "je vous ai demandé un toast littéraire." "Et c'est un toast littéraire que je vous donne," répondit Campbell; "je propose la santé de l'empereur Napoléon, parce qu'il a rendu un immense service à la littérature, en faisant fusiller un libraire." (Il faisait allusion au pauvre libraire allemand Palm, condamné par un conseil de guerre français et exécuté sur l'ordre de Napoléon, pour la publication d'une brochure politique.)
