THE SECOND EXAMINATION. PASS.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, from 9 to 11 A.M.

A. Latin. (First Paper.)

Translate into Latin :

Ye know how that none but the patricians may take any office of the priesthood for the worship of the gods of Rome, nor interpret the will of the gods by augury. For the gods being themselves many, have set also upon earth many races of men and many orders; and one race may not take to itself the law of another race, nor one order the law of another order. Each has its own law, which was given to it from the beginning; and if we change these the whole world will be full of confusion. It is our boast that we Romans have greater power over our children than the men of any other nation: with us the son is ever, so long as he lives, subject to his father's will, except his father be pleased to give him his freedom. Now, if a son were to ask why he should not, when he is come to full age, be free from his father's authority, what answer should we give than this, that the law of the Romans gave to fathers this power over their children, and that to this law he had been born?

Varia adhortatio erat in exercitu inter tot homines, quibus non lingua non mos non lex non arma non vestitus habitusque non causa militandi eadem esset: auxiliaribus et praesens et multiplicata ex praeda merces ostentabatur: Galli proprio atque insito in Romanos odio accenduntur: Liguribus campi uberes Italiae deductis ex asperrimis montibus in spem victoriae ostentantur: Mauros Numidasque Masinissae impotenti futuro dominatu terrent, aliae aliis spes ac metus jactantur: Carthaginiensibus moenia patriae, dî penates, sepulchra maiorum, liberi cum parentibus coniugesque pavidae, aut excidium servitiumque aut imperium orbis terrarumnihil aut in metum aut in spem medium-ostentantur.

(2) His opinionibus inflato animo, ad hoc vitio quoque ingenii vehemens et impotens, postquam inter patres non quantum aequum censebat excellere suas opes animadvertit, primum omnium ex patribus popularis factus cum plebeiis magistratibus consilia communicare, criminando patres adliciendo ad se plebem jam aura non consilio ferri, famaeque magnae malle quam bonae esse. Et non contentus agrariis legibus, quae materia semper tribunis plebi seditionum fuisset, fidem moliri coepit: acriores quippe aeris alieni stimulos esse, qui non egestatem modo atque ignominiam minentur sed nervo ac vinculis corpus liberum territent. Et erat aeris alieni magna vis re damnosissima etiam divitibus aedificando contracta.

Quattuor in medio dirimit plaga Solis iniqui.
(2) Aurea caesaries ollis, atque aurea vestis;
Virgatis lucent sagulis; tum lactea colla
Auro innectuntur; duo quisque Alpina coruscant
Gaesa manu, scutis protecti corpora longis.
Hic exsultantis Salios, nudosque Lupercos,
Lanigerosque apices, et lapsa ancilia caelo
Extuderat; castae ducebant sacra per urbem
Pilentis matres in mollibus.

(3) Omne aevum ferro teritur, versaque iuvencum
Terga fatigamus hasta ; nec tarda senectus

(2) Ad ea Manlius nec se fefellisse ait, non adversus Vulscos-totiens hostes quotiens patribus expediat nec adversus Latinos Hernicosque, quos falsis criminibus in arma agant, sed adversus se ac plebem Romanam dictatorem creatum esse: iam omisso bello, quod simulatum sit, in se impetum fieri iam dictatorem profiteri patrocinium feneratorum adversus plebem, iam sibi ex favore multitudinis crimen et perniciem quaeri.

(3) Commoti patres vice fortunarum humanarum, si ille praepotens opibus populus luxuria superbiaque clarus, a quo paulo ante auxilium finitimi petîssent, adeo infractos gereret animos, ut se ipse suaque omnia potestatis alienae faceret.
