Si ipse populo Romano non praescriberet, quemadmodum suo iure uteretur, non oportere sese a populo Romano in suo iure impediri. Aeduos sibi, quoniam belli fortunam temptassent et armis congressi ac superati essent, stipendiarios esse factos. Magnam Caesarem iniuriam facere, qui suo adventu vectigalia sibi deteriora faceret.

(Second Paper.) Translate into Latin : A council of officers was held on the receipt of this unwelcome information. It was thought unlikely that the Eburones would rise by themselves. It was probable, there fore, that the conspiracy was more extensive. Cotta, who was second in command, was of opinion that it would be rash and wrong to leave the camp without Caesar's orders. They had, he said, abundant provisions. They could hold their own lines against any force which the Germans could bring upon them, and help would not be long in reaching them. It would be preposterous to take so grave a step on the advice of an enemy. Sabinus unfortunately thought differently; and the fatal resolution was formed to march at dawn.

Translate into English : (1) Le professeur Villemsens formait avec le professeur Denis le plus absolu contraste. Autant celui-ci était débraillé, abondant en paroles, débordant de gestes, autant celui-là, d'une tenue correcte, était réservé, avare de mots, sobre de mouvemens. Denis, d'une stature au-dessus de la moyenne, se rasait de temps à autre, quand il y songeait, et, sauf ces rares jours de tonte, où il était permis de suivre la ligne de son visage, qui n'allait pas sans quelque beauté intelligente et robuste, ses traits le plus souvent disparaissaient dans des broussailles grises d'où il était impossible de les dégager. M. Villemsens, de taille exiguë, prenait au contraire un soin minutieux de sa barbe d'un noir de jais, soyeuse, élégante, donnant un éclat merveilleux à la pâleur mate du front et des joues. Une seule chose établissait comme un vague rapport entre ces deux physionomies d'ailleurs si dissemblables: c'était l'expression singulièrement fiévreuse du regard. Le solitaire du faubourg Saint-Michel avait l'œil petit, clignotant, épuisé; son confrère de la place Rouaïx l'avait bien ouvert, limpide, d'un bleu encore inaltéré. Mais chez l'un comme chez l'autre, soit par quelque hasard de leur vie adonnée aux mêmes travaux, vouée aux mêmes préoccupations, soit par quelque coup identique de la destinée, la lumière tremblait dans les prunelles et semblait tantôt sur le point de s'éteindre, tantôt sur le point de tout embraser. (2) Oui, je lui ferai voir, par d'infaillibles marques, Qu'un véritable amour brave la main des Parques, Et ne prend point de lois de ces cruels tyrans Qu'un astre injurieux nous donne pour parents. Tu blâmes ma douleur, tu l'oses nommer lâche; Je l'aime d'autant plus que plus elle te fâche, Impitoyable père, et par un juste effort Je la veux rendre égale aux rigueurs de mon sort. |
