FOR LATIN ELEGIACS.

The sun, that walks his airy way,

To light the world and give the day;

The moon, that shines with borrowed light;

The stars, that gild the gloomy night;
The seas, that roll unnumbered waves;
The wood, that spreads its shady leaves;
The field, whose ears conceal the grain,
The yellow treasure of the plain ;
All of these, and all I see,

Must be sung, and sung by me :
They speak their Maker as they can,
But want and ask the tongue of man.

ON A VOLUNTEER SINGER.

PARNELL.

Swans sing before they die; 'twere no bad thing
Should certain persons die before they sing.

FOR LATIN HEXAMETERS.

As bees

COLERIDGE.

In spring time, when the sun with Taurus rides,
Pour forth their populous youth about the hive
In clusters: they among fresh dews and flowers
Fly to and fro, or on the smoothed plank,
The suburb of their straw-built citadel
New-rubbed with balm, expatiate and confer
Their state affairs. So thick the aery crowd
Swarmed and were straightened; till the signal given,
Behold a wonder! They, but now who seemed
In bigness to surpass Earth's giant sons,
Now less than smallest dwarfs, in narrow room
Throng numberless, like that Pygmean race
Beyond the Indian mount; or faery elves
Whose midnight revels, by a forest side.
Or fountain, some belated peasant sees,
Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon

Sits arbitress, and nearer to the earth

Wheels her pale course; they, on their mirth and dance Intent, with jocund music charm his ear;

At once with joy and fear his heart rebounds.

FOR LATIN PROSE.

MILTON.

Xerxes, a vain and foolish prince, when he made war on Greece, was told by one that it would never come to a

battle, by another that he would find only empty cities and desolate countries, for they would not so much as stand the very fame of his coming. Others soothed him with the opinion of his prodigious numbers, and they all concurred to puff him up to his destruction. Only Demaratus advised him not to depend too much upon his numbers, for he would find them a burthen rather than an advantage; that two hundred men in the mountain straits would be enough to check his whole army; and that such an accident would surely turn his vast multitudes to his confusion. It fell out as Demaratus foretold, and he had thanks for his fidelity. Miserable prince who among so many thousand subjects had but one servant to tell him the truth!

FOR GREEK PROSE.

There was besides a great number of barbarian cavalry whom he brought with him as auxiliaries. These he always placed in the most advanced post to receive the first attack not only because they were troops of great spirit and courage in the beginning of a battle but as they were barbarians and not so valuable as his other forces he took care to expose them first to danger. In this disposition the army marched with great regularity and caution over the champaign part of the country. At his approach the scouts and detached parties came in with the intelligence that the inhabitants deserted the town after setting fire to the doors of the temples and houses and taking with them or burning all provisions and necessaries in the fields or magazines of the town and leaving nothing for the subsistence of man or beast. Maximin was highly pleased at the news hoping that other cities would do the same and none would dare to abide his coming.
