OXFORD EXAMINATION PAPERS.

RESPONSIONS.

I.

For Latin Prose.

Then he besought those who were with him to seek safety in flight; he urged them to save themselves for better days, and try at some future time to benefit the land. They all refused to leave him, saying that they would stay and die with him. His son Henry begged him to flee, and leave him to fight the battle. Simon refused: Far be it from me, my son. I have grown old in wars and my life hastens to an end. There is something in my blood which tells me my forefathers never fled nor wished to flee from battle. Do you, my son, retire, lest you perish in the flower of youth, you who are to succeed me (God grant it), and succeed to our race, illustrious in the glories of war.' None would consent to seek safety in flight. All prepared themselves steadfastly to meet the doom which could not be avoided.
