OXFORD EXAMINATION PAPERS.

RESPONSIONS.

I.

For Latin Prose.

Now Giant Despair had a wife, and her name was Diffidence; so when he was gone to bed, he told his wife what he had done, to wit, that he had taken a couple of prisoners and cast them into his dungeon for trespassing on his grounds. Then he asked her also what he had best to do further with them. So she asked him where they were, whence they came, and whither they were bound, and he told her. Then she counselled him, that when he arose in the morning he should beat them without mercy. So when he arose, he getteth him a grievous crab-tree cudgel and goes down into the dungeon to them and there falls to rating them as if they were dogs, although they never gave him a word of distaste; then he falls upon them and beats them fearfully, in such sort that they were not able to help themselves, or turn them upon the floor. This done, he withdraws and leaves them there to condole their misery, and to mourn under their distress; so all that day they spent their time in nothing but sighs and bitter lamentations.
