UNSEEN TRANSLATION

177. Q. Cicero, Caesar's Lieutenant, sends out Foragers from his Camp.

Cicero, qui per omnes superiores dies praeceptis Caesaris cum summa diligentia milites in castris continuisset ac ne calonem quidem quenquam extra munitionem egredi passus esset, septimo die diffidens de numero dierum Caesarem fidem servaturum, quod longius eum progressum audiebat neque ulla de reditu ejus fama afferebatur, simul eorum permotus vocibus, qui illius patientiam paene obsessionem appellabant, si quidem ex castris egredi non liceret, quinque cohortes frumeratum in proximas segetes misit quas inter et castra unus omnino collis intererat.

Caesar.

178. Zeus kills Phaethon with a Flash of Lightning.
At Phaethon, rutilos flamma populante capillos,
volvitur in praeceps, longoque per aera tractu
fertur: ut interdum de coelo stella sereno
etsi non cecidit, potuit cecidisse videri.
Quem procul a patria diverso maximus orbe
excipit Eridanus, spumantiaque abluit ora.

Naiades Hesperiae trifida fumantia flamma
corpora dant tumulo: signantque hoc carmine saxum :

HIC SITUS EST PHAETHON, CURRUS AURIGA PATERNI:
QUEM SI NON TENUIT, MAGNIS TAMEN EXCIDIT AUSIS.

Ovid.

209. HANNIBAL ON THE ALPS.

Tandem nequicquam iumentis atque hominibus fatigatis castra in iugo posita, aegerrime ad id ipsum loco purgato, tantum nivis fodiendum atque egerendum fuit. Inde ad rupem muniendam, per quam unam via esse poterat, milites ducti, cum caedendum esset saxum, arboribus circa immanibus deiectis detruncatisque struem ingentem lignorum faciunt, eamque, cum et vis venti apta faciendo igni coorta esset, succendunt ardentiaque saxa infuso aceto putrefaciunt. Itaque torridam incendio rupem ferro pandunt, molliuntque anfractibus modicis clivos, ut non iumenta solum sed elephanti etiam deduci possent. Quatriduum circa rupem consumptum iumentis prope fame absumptis ; nuda enim fere cacumina sunt et, si quid est pabuli, obruunt nives.

210. POETRY LASTS FOR EVER.

Ergo cum silices, cum dens patientis aratri,
Depereant aevo, carmina nocte carent.
Cedant carminibus reges, regumque triumphi,
Cedat et auriferi ripa beata Tagi.
Vilia miretur vulgus. Mihi flavus Apollo
Pocula Castaliae plena ministret aquae :
Sustineamque coma metuentem frigora myrtum:
Atque a sollicito multus amante legar.
Pascitur in vivis Livor: post fata quiescit,

Cum suus ex merito quemque tuetur honor.
Ergo etiam, cum me supremus adederit ignis,
Vivam, parsque mei multa superstes erit.
