TINTERN ABBEY.

Ages ebb past, and on their shoaling strand
They leave the wreck of many a gallant bark—
Man's amidst Nature's works-as if to mark

How vain the glories of the human hand.
See Tintern's old and crumbling ruins! grand
And perfect in those ages drear and dark,

When holy monks fann'd Learning's glimmering spark,
And all the glorious arches proudly planned:

What are they now? Th' eternal hills survive,

The vales bloom on with flowers and fruit; the river

In undimmed beauty sparkles on for ever;

God's handy-work ;—while all that men contrive
Sinks to decay; and yet Death's angel-smile

Still lingers o'er this cold and silent aisle.

Oceanum interea surgens Aurora relinquit.
It portis, jubare exorto, delecta juventus.
Retia rara, plagæ, lato venabula ferro,
Massylique ruunt equites, et odora canum vis.
Reginam thalamo cunctantem ad limina primi
Pœnorum exspectant: ostroque insignis et auro
Stat sonipes, ac frena ferox spumantia mandit.
Tandem progreditur, magnâ stipante catervâ,
Sidoniam picto chlamyden circumdata limbo.
Cui pharetra ex auro, crines nodantur in aurum,
Aurea purpuream subnectit fibula vestem.
Nec non et Phrygii comites, et lætus Iulus,
Incedunt. Ipse ante alios pulcherrimus omnes

Infert se socium Eneas, atque agmina jungit.
Qualis, ubi hibernam Lyciam Xanthique fluenta
Deserit, ac Delum maternam invisit Apollo,
Instauratque choros: mixtique altaria circum
Cretesque Dryopesque fremunt, pictique Agathyrsi:
Ipse jugis Cynthi graditur, mollique fluentem
Fronde premit crinem fingens, atque implicat auro:
Tela sonant humeris. Haud illo segnior ibat
Eneas: tantum egregio decus enitet ore.

III.—Translate into Greek Anacreontic Verse.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,

From thy wounded side that flow'd,

Be of sin the double cure,

Cleanse from guilt, and keep me pure.

Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to thy Cross I cling;
Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and Thou alone.

While I draw this fleeting breati,
When I close mine eyes in death,
When I soar to realms unknown,
See Thee on thy Judgment-Throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Jack Cade.-Ay, thou say, thou serge, nay, thou buckram lord! Now thou art within point blank of our jurisdiction. What canst thou answer to my majesty for giving

up Normandy unto Monsieur Basimecu, the Dauphin of France? Be it known unto thee by these presence, even the presence of Lord Mortimer, that I am the besom that must sweep the court clean of such filth as thou art. Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting a grammar-school; and whereas before our forefathers had no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used; and contrary to the king, his crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper-mill. It will be proved to thy face that thou hast men about thee, that usually talk of a noun and a verb, and such abominable words, as no Christian ear can endure to hear. Thou hast appointed justices of peace to call poor men before them about matters they were not able to answer. Moreover, thou hast put them in prison; and because they could not read, thou hast hanged them; when, indeed, only for that cause they have been most worthy to live.

V.-Translate into Greek Prose.

In laws, that which is natural bindeth, universally, that which is positive. Not so. To let go those kind of positive laws which men impose upon themselves, as by vow unto God, contract with men, or such like; somewhat it will make unto our purpose, a little more fully to consider what things are incident unto the making of the positive laws for the government of them that live united in public society. Laws do not only teach what is good, but they enjoin it; they have in them a certain constraining force. And to constrain men unto anything inconvenient doth seem unreasonable. Most requisite therefore it is, that to devise laws that all men shall be forced to obey, none but wise men be admitted. Laws are matters of principal consequence; men of common capacity and but ordinary judgment are not able (for how should they?) to discern what things are fitted for each kind and state of regiment.
