Translate into Latin: Cicero thought that no one who did not seek eternal praise would do great things for his country. And so the great orator praises literature, since through it alone we gain this reward of our labors. For no one would now know who Achilles was, if Homer had not written about him. II Read the passage through several times before beginning to write the translation. Cicero indignantly denies the truth of Antony's charges. Tuus videlicet salutaris1 consulatus, perniciosus meus.

Aeneas and his ally, Tarchon, burn the bodies of their dead warriors. Aurora interea miseris mortalibus almam frenaque ferventisque rotas; pars munera nota, Multa boum circa2 mactantur corpora Morti, 1 caligine, 'smoke.' 'slaughter.' Aeneid, xi. 182-199. 2 circa, equivalent to circum. 3 saetigeros, 'bristly.' iugulant, LATIN 6-ADVANCED PROSE COMPOSITION Wednesday Translate into Latin: 9 a.m. One hour You remember, do you not, how often Cicero declared that Pompey far excelled all other generals who could be sent against Mithridates? When you read this fine speech of his, can you doubt that the Roman people already demanded that Pompey be chosen? But Cicero believed that he had to speak with the greatest care, that those who disagreed might not be able to answer him. Four years afterward Cicero was led by his enthusiasm for literature to defend in an unusual way a Greek poet of great talent who had celebrated in his verses the great deeds done by Lucullus in Asia. For, after proving1 the citizenship of Archias, he used the greater part of the speech to show that, even if Archias were not already a citizen, he was nevertheless worthy of this honor, because poets were so useful to the state. 1'prove,' confirmare. LATIN P-SIGHT TRANSLATION OF PROSE Wednesday 9 a.m. Two hours Read each passage through several times before beginning to write the translation of it.

At Iugurtha, postquam oppidum Capsam aliosque locos munitos et sibi utilis, simul et magnam pecuniam amiserat, ad Bocchum nuntios misit: quam primum in Numidiam copias adduceret; proeli faciundi tempus adesse. Quem ubi cunctari accepit et dubium belli atque pacis rationes trahere1, rursus uti antea proximos eius donis corrupit, ipsique Mauro2 pollicetur Numidiae partem tertiam, si aut Romani Africa expulsi aut integris suis finibus bellum compositum foret. Eo praemio inlectus3 Bocchus cum magna multitudine Iugurtham accedit. Ita amborum exercitu coniuncto Marium, iam in hiberna proficiscentem, vix decuma parte diei reliqua invadunt, rati noctem, quae iam aderat, et victis sibi munimento fore et, si vicissent, nullo impedimento, quia locorum scientes erant; contra Romanis utrumque casum in tenebris difficiliorem fore. 1 3 SALLUST, Jugurtha, 97. 1 trahere, 'weigh.' Mauro refers to Bocchus. inlectus, equivalent to inductus. |
