SECOND UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION IN ARTS.

LATIN.

FIRST PAPER.

PROFESSOR Sandford.

1. Translate into Latin :

Germanicus discovered their position and did not fall into the trap. He attacked them on the side of the earthwork and forced his way into the small space in which they were thickly packed together. Their position was desperate. If they retreated they must perish in the marsh; and with their long swords they could sustain no equal combat with the legions at such close quarters. Germanicus, it is said, was in the thickest of the fray, crying that the Germans must be exterminated. But the barbarians fought well; Arminius escaped, and the cavalry engagement was indecisive. At nightfall the Romans returned to their camp, victorious indeed, but without having routed the foe.BURY.

Tamen hoc tolerabile, si non

Et furere incipias, ut avunculus ille Neronis,
Cui totam tremuli frontem Caesonia pulli
Infudit. Quae non faciet, quod Principis uxor?
Ardebant cuncta et fracta compage ruebant,
Non aliter, quam si fecisset Iuno maritum
Insanum. Minus ergo nocens erit Agrippinae
Boletus: siquidem unius praecordia pressit
Ille senis, tremulumque caput descendere iussit
In caelum, et longa manantia labra saliva,
Haec poscit ferrum atque ignes, haec potio torquet:
Haec lacerat mixtos Equitum cum sanguine Patres.

(a) Si quid Palfurio, si credimus Armillato,

(b)

Quidquid conspicuum pulcrumque est aequore toto,
Res fisci est, ubicumque natat. Donabitur ergo,
Ne pereat. Iam letifero cedente pruinis
Autumno, iam quartanam sperantibus aegris,
Stridebat deformis hiems, praedamque recentem
Servabat tamen hic properat, velut urgeat Auster.
Utque lacus suberant, ubi, quamquam diruta, servat
Ignem Troianum et Vestam colit Alba minorem,
Obstitit intranti miratrix turba parumper.

Ibid.

Anseris ante ipsum magni iecur, anseribus par
Altilis, et flavi dignus ferro Meleagri

Fumat aper post hunc tradentur tubera, si ver
Tunc erit et facient optata tonitrua cenas

Maiores. Tibi habe frumentum,' Alledius inquit,
'O Libye disiunge boves, dum tubera mittas!'
Structorem interea (ne qua indignatio desit)
Saltantem spectes et chironomunta volanti

Omnia. Nec minimo sane discrimine refert,
Quo gestu lepores et quo gallina secetur.

(c) Sic Pedo conturbat, Matho deficit: exitus hic est Tongilii, magno cum rhinocerote lavari

Qui solet et vexat lutulenta balnea turba,
Perque forum iuvenes longo premit assere, Maedos
Empturus pueros, argentum, murrina, villas.
Spondet enim Tyrio stlataria purpura filo,
Et tamen hoc ipsis est utile: purpura vendit
Causidicum, vendunt amethystina convenit illis,
Et strepitu et facie maioris vivere census.

Carpento rapitur pinguis Lateranus, et ipse,
Ipse rotam adstringit sufflamine mulio consul:
Nocte quidem, sed luna videt, sed sidera testes
Intendunt oculos. Finitum tempus honoris

Quum fuerit, clara Lateranus luce flagellum
Sumet, et occursum numquam trepidabit amici

Atqui his capiuntur imperiti, et propter huius modi sententias istorum hominum est multitudo; acute autem disputantis illud est, non quid quisque dicat, sed quid cuique dicendum sit, videre. Velut in ea ipsa sententia, quam in hac disputatione suscepimus, omnis bonos semper beatos volumus esse. Quos dicam bonos, perspicuum est; omnibus enim virtutibus instructos et ornatos tum sapientis, tum viros bonos dicimus. Videamus, qui dicendi sint beati. Equidem eos existimo, qui sint in bonis nullo adiuncto malo; neque ulla alia huic verbo, cum beatum dicimus, subiecta notio est nisi secretis malis omnibus cumulata bonorum complexio.-CICERO, Tusc.

(a) Quae nisi tanta esset, et si iis angustiis, quibus plerique putant, teneretur, numquam esset L. Pisonis cognomen tanto opere laudatum. Sed quia, nec qui propter metum praesidium reliquit, quod est ignaviae, nec qui propter avaritiam clam depositum non reddidit, quod est iniustitiae, nec qui propter temeritatem male rem gessit, quod est stultitiae, frugi appellari solet, eo tris virtutes, fortitudinem, iustitiam, prudentiam, frugalitas complexa est (etsi hoc quidem commune est virtutum; omnes enim inter se nexae et iugatae sunt); reliqua igitur est, quarta virtus ut sit, ipsa frugalitas. Eius enim videtur esse proprium motus animi adpetentis regere et sedare semperque adversantem libidini moderatam in omni re servare constantiam; cui contrarium vitium nequitia dicitur.-Ibid. iii.

What do you know of the L. Piso referred to?

(b) Ecquid scis igitur, si quid de Corinthiis tuis amiseris, posse habere te reliquam supellectilem salvam, virtutem autem si unam amiseris (etsi amitti non potest virtus), sed si unam confessus eris te non habere, nullam esse te habiturum? Num igitur fortem virum, num magno animo,
