(b.) Interim advenit Persicus exercitus; sed quum pontem solutum vidissent, magnopere timebant ne ab Ionibus desererentur. Erat tunc apud Darium vir Egyptius, 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 haec, quum Perse 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 ?

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.

Voluntariâ morte obiit, trigesimo et octavo ætatis anno, nonagesimo et quinto imperii die.

"I am master of the children of the parish," said the man; "the children are masters of their mothers; the mothers are the rulers of the fathers, and consequently I am master of the whole parish."

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.)

Havelock's general order to his troops after the battle of Cawnpore.

Soldiers! Your general is satisfied and more than satisfied with you. He has never seen steadier troops. But your labors are only beginning. Between the 7th and the 16th instant you have, under the Indian sun of July, marched 126 miles and fought four actions. But your comrades at Lucknow are in peril; Agra is besieged; Delhi still the focus of mutiny and rebellion. Three cities have to be saved; two strong places to be blockaded. Your general is confident that he can effect all these things and restore this part of India to tranquility, if you only second him with your efforts, and if your discipline is equal to your valor.

C'était en Angleterre, à l'époque de la Révolution française. Le Duc de Bedford avait offert au Duc de G, émigré, un splendide repas, une de ces fêtes quasi-royales que les grands seigneurs anglais mettent leur honneur à donner à des souverains, leur bon goût à offrir à des exilés. Au dessert, on apporta une certaine bouteille d'un vin de Constance merveilleux, sans pareil, sans âge, sans prix. C'était de l'or liquide, dans un cristal sacré; un trésor fondu qu'on vous admettait à déguster; un rayon de soleil qu'on faisait descendre dans votre verre: c'était le nectar suprême, le dernier mot de Bacchus. Le Duc de Bedford voulut verser lui-même à son hôte cette liqueur des dieux. Le Duc de G- — prit le verre, goûta le prétendu vin, et le déclara excellent. Le Duc de Bedford voulut en boire à son tour; mais à peine a-t-il porté le verre à ses lèvres qu'il s'écria avec un horrible dégoût: "Ah! qu'est-ce que c'est que ça?" On accourt vers lui, on examine la bouteille, on interroge le parfum: c'était de l'huile de castor! . . Le Duc de G- avait avalé cette détestable drogue sans sourciller.

(a.) His de rebus Cæsar certior factus, et infirmitatem Gallorum veritus, quod sunt in consiliis capiendis mobiles, et novis plerumque rebus student, nihil his committendum existimavit. Est autem hoc Gallic consuetudinis, uti et viatores, etiam invitos, consistere cogant, et, quod quisque eorum de quaque re audierit aut cognoverit, quærant; et mercatores in oppidis vulgus circumsistat, quibusque ex regionibus veniant, quasque ibi res cognove rint, pronuntiare cogant.

Cæsar. paucos dies in eorum finibus moratus, omnibus vicis ædificiisque incensis frumentisque succisis, se in fines Ubiorum recepit; atque iis auxilium suum pollicitus, si ab Suevis premerentur, hæc ab iis cognovit: Suevos, posteaquam per exploratores pontem fieri comperissent, more suo concilio habito, nuntios in omnes partes dimisisse, uti de oppidis demigrarent, liberos, uxores, suaque omuia in silvas apponerent, atque omnes qui arma ferre possent unum in locum convenirent: hunc esse delectum medium fere regionum earum quas Suevi obtinerent: hic Romanorum adventum exspectare atque ibi decertare constituisse. Quod ubi Cæsar comperit, omnibus his rebus confectis, quarum rerum causa transducere exercitum constituerat, ut Germanis metum injiceret, ut Sigambros ulcisceretur, ut Ubios obsidione liberaret, diebus omnino decem et octo trans Rhenum consumptis, satis et ad laudem et ad utilitatem profectum arbitratus, se in Galliam recepit pontemque rescidit.

(c.) Hunc ad egrediendum nequaquam idoneum arbitratus locum, dum reliquæ naves eo convenirent, ad horain nonam in anchoris exspectavit.

Galli inter equites raros sagittarios expeditosque levis armaturæ interjecerant, qui suis cedentibus auxilio succurrerent, et nostrorum equitum impetus sustinerent.
