What remark does Cicero make on those qui negant animum sine corpore se intelligere posse? Explain: 'Nos enim ne nunc quidem oculis cernimus ea, quæ videmus. Neque enim est ullus sensus in corpore; sed, (ut non solum physici docent, verum etiam medici, qui ista aperta et patefacta viderunt,) viæ quasi quædam sunt ad oculos, ad aures, ad nares, a sede animi perforatæ. Itaque sæpe aut cogitatione, aut aliqua vi morbi impediti, apertis atque integris et oculis et auribus, nec videmus, nec audimus: ut facile intelligi possit, animum et videre et audire, non eas partes, quæ quasi fenestræ sunt animi; quibus tamen sentire nihil queat mens, nisi id agat et adsit.'

(6) Λέγω οὖν Μὴ ἀπώσατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ;

TRANSLATE into GREEK PROSE:

FOR the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day. But the righteous

live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High. Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

Wisdom of Solomon, ch. v.

For LATIN HEXAMETERS:

E'EN as the bird, who midst the leafy bower
Has, in her nest, sat darkling through the night,
With her sweet brood; impatient to descry
Their wished looks, and to bring home their food,
In the fond quest unconscious of her toil:
She, of the time prevenient, on the spray
That overhangs their couch, with wakeful gaze
Expects the sun; nor ever, till the dawn,
Removeth from the east her eager ken :
So stood the dame erect, and bent her glance
Wistfully on that region where the sun
Abateth most his speed; that, seeing her
Suspense and wondering, I became as one
In whom desire is waken'd and the hope
Of somewhat new to come fills with delight.
Short space ensued; I was not held, I say,
Long in expectance, when I saw the heaven
Wax more and more resplendent; and, 'Behold,'
Cried Beatrice, 'the triumphal hosts

Of Christ, and all His harvest gather'd in.'

For LATIN LYRICS:

Soft and stingless now the breeze is,

Rarely chills and never freezes;

Scornful blast and sleet departed,
Genial earth grown tender-hearted
Bares the wealth of all her good lands,
Leafy murmurs sweep the woodlands
Day by day distincter growing:

'Spring's begun and winter's going.'

TRANSLATE:

Beginning, Homines Græci, quos antea nominavi,...

Ending, aut servarint, esse immortalem gloriam consecutos.
