Est etiam quoque, uti possit cœlum omne manere
In statione, tamen quum lucida signa feruntur;
Sive, quod inclusi rapidi sunt ætheris æstus,
Quærentesque viam circumversantur, et ignes
Passim per cœli volvunt immania templa;
Sive aliunde fluens alicunde extrinsecus, aër
Versat agens ignes; sive ipsi serpere possunt,
Quo cujusque cíbus vocat atque invitat euntes,
Flammea per coelum pascentes corpora passim.
Nam quid in hoc mundo sit eorum ponere certum
Difficile est: sed, quid possit fiatque per omne
In variis mundis, variâ ratione creatis,

Id doceo; pluresque sequor disponere causas
Motibus astrorum, quæ possint esse per omne:

E quibus una tamen sit et hæc quoque causa necesse est, Quæ vegeat motum signis; sed, quæ sit earum, Præcipere haud quaquam est pedetentim progredientis.

κἀπεμπόμην πρὸς ταῦτα, καὶ τὸ πᾶν φράσω.
κεῖνος γὰρ ἐλθὼν ἐς τὸ κλεινὸν Ἑλλάδος

His demum exactis, perfecto munere divæ,
Devenêre locos lætos, et amœna vireta
Fortunatorum nemorum, sedesque beatas.
Largior hic campos æther et lumine vestit
Purpureo; solemque suum, sua sidera nôrunt.
Pars in gramineis exercent membra palæstris;
Contendunt ludo, et fulvâ luctantur arenâ.
Pars pedibus plaudunt choreas, et carmina dicunt.
Necnon Threicius longâ cum veste sacerdos
Obloquitur numeris septem discrimina vocum ;
Atque eadem digitis, jam pectine pulsat eburno.

IIL-Translate into Latin Verse.

The swain in barren deserts, with surprise,
Sees lilies spring and sudden verdure rise,
And starts, amidst the thirsty wilds, to hear
New falls of water murmuring in his ear.
O'er rifted rocks, the dragons' late abodes,
The green reed trembles and the bulrush nods;
Waste sandy valleys, once perplexed with thorn,
The spicy fir and shapely box adorn ;

The leafless shrubs the flowering palms succeed,
And odorous myrtle to the noisome weed.

The lambs with wolves shall graze the fertile mead.
And boys with flowery bands the tigers lead;
The steer and lion at one crib shall meet,
And harmless serpents lick the pilgrim's feet.
The smiling infant in his hand shall take
The crested basilisk and speckled snake;
Pleased the green lustre of the scales survey,

And with their forky tongues shall innocently play.

IV.-Translate into Greek Iambics.

(A) Poor tree, a gentle mistress placed thee here, To be the glory of the glade around;

Thy life has not survived one fleeting year,

And she, too, sleeps beneath another mound.
But mark what differing terms your fates allow,
Tho' like the period of your swift decay:
Thine are the sapless root and withered bough,
Hers the green memory and immortal day.
(Inscription by the Earl of Carlisle on a tree planteă
by the late Countess of St. Germains, in the
Viceregal Grounds, Dublin.)

(B) All night the dreadless angel, unpursued

Through heaven's wide champaign held his way; till
Morn,

Waked by the circling Hours, with rosy hand
Unbarred the gates of light. There is a cave

Within the mount of God, fast by his throne,
Where light and darkness, in perpetual round,
Lodge and dislodge by turns, which makes through
heaven

Grateful vicissitude, like day and night.

Light issues forth, and at the other door
Obsequious darkness enters, till her hour

To veil the heaven, though darkness there might well
Seem twilight here; and now went forth the morn,
Such as in highest heaven, array'd in gold
Empyreal; from before her vanished night,

Shot through with orient beams; when all the plain
Cover'd with thick embattled squadrons, bright
Chariots, and flaming arms, and fiery steeds,
Reflecting blaze on blaze, first met his view.
