Translate into Latin Prose: What contributes to make justice above all other kingly virtues is, that it is seldom practised with a due share of applause; and those who do practise it must be influenced by greater motives than empty fame. The people are generally pleased with a remission of punishment, and all that wears the appearance of humanity; it is the wise only who are capable of discerning that impartial justice is the truest mercy; they know it to be very difficult to be at once moved by pity, and yet condemn him who pleads for it.

Οἱ δὲ πολέμιοι, ὡς ᾔσθοντο ἐχόμενον τὸ ὄρος, ἐγρηγόρησαν, καὶ ἔκαιον πυρὰ πολλὰ διὰ νυκτός. Ω πάτερ, τὰ κάλλιστα πρότερόν κοτε καὶ γενναιότατα ἡμῖν ἦν, ἔς τε πολέμους καὶ ἐς ἄγρας φοιτέοντας εὐδοκι μέειν· νῦν δὲ ἀμφοτέρων με τούτων ἀποκληΐσας ἔχεις, οὔτε τινὰ δειλίην μοι παριδὼν οὔτε ἀθυμίην.

The line was not long but deep, the wings curving round till they met, shield to shield. Those who stood in the first rank set their spears on the ground, the points level with the breast of a horseman, those in the second with spears yet lower, level with the breast of a horse; thus forming a double wall against the cavalry. In the centre was the great standard, and round it a rampart of shields. For Iambics : Let this example move the insolent man GEOMETRICAL DRAWING. CAPTAIN SCHAW, R.E.
