RESPONSIONS.

I.

For Latin Prose.

Among the number who came to thank their deliverer on this occasion, there appeared a majestic old man, who falling at the Emperor's feet addressed him as follows, 'Great father of China, behold a wretch now 85 years old, who was shut up in prison at the age of 22. I have now lived in solitude and darkness for more than 50 years, and am grown familiar with distress. As yet, dazzled with the splendour of that sun, to which you have restored me, I have been wandering the streets to find out some friend that would assist or relieve or remember me; but my friends, my family, and my relations are all dead, and I am forgotten. Permit me then to wear out the wretched remains of my life in my former prison; the walls of my dungeon are to me more pleasing than the most splendid palace; I have not long to live, and shall be unhappy except I spend the rest of my days where my youth was passed,-in that prison from whence you were pleased to release me.'
