NEW SERIES OF LATIN SCHOOL BOOKS, 



CROCKER & BREWSTER, 

Wo. 47 WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON, 

Publish the following Books, which constitute a regular series of 
elementary Latin works designed for the use of Schools: 

Infill CtraBSfimar. A Grammar of the Latin Language, 
for the Use of Schools, and Colleges. By Professor E. A. 
ANDREWS and Professor S. STODDARD. 

This Grammar has been adopted in most of the schools and colleges 
of this country. It is distinguished for its copiousness, its philosophical 
arrangement, and the scientific precision of its rules and definitions. 

The following works have been prepared by Professor ANDREWS, for 
the purpose of completing the series, of which the Grammar of Andrews 
and Stoddard is the basis : 



Questions on the CJraBiiiii^i'. Questions on 

Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar. 

This little volume is intended to aid the student in examining himself 
in regard to the preparation of his lessons, and the teacher in conducting 
his recitations. 



Lessons. First Lessons in Latin, or an Intro- 
duction to Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar. 
This volume is designed for the younger classes of Latin students, to 
whom the larger Grammar might, at first, appear too formidable, and for 
all who, at any period of life, may wish to acquire an accurate knowledge 
of the first principles of the language. The work is complete in itself, 
containing the prominent rules and principles of the Grammar, with easy 
reading and writing lessons, serving to illustrate those principles. It is 
also furnished with numerous grammatical references, and a dictionary 
of the Latin words and phrases occurring in the lessons. 

Latift Header. The First Part of Jacobs and Boring's 
Latin Reader, with a Dictionary and Notes; adapted to 
Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar. 

The plan of this edition of the Latin Reader, which was in a great 
degree new, has been so highly approved, as to lead to its introduction, 
with suitable modifications, into all the subsequent volumes of the series. 
Instead of the grammatical notes usually found in works of this kind, 
numerous references are every where made to those principles of the 
Grammar which serve to explain the peculiarities of form or construction 
which occur in the lessons. The application of these principles is gen- 
erally left to the sagacity of the student, and by this means a wholesome 
exercise of his faculties is fully secured. 

Latin Exercises 5 adapted to Andrews and Stoddard's 

Latin Grammar. 

The exercises contained in this volume are designed to illustrate the 
principles of the Latin Grammar in its various departments, and to render 
their application easy and familiar to the student. The plan and arrange 



New Series of Latin School Books. 

ment of the work are such, that, under the direction of a judicious 
teacher, the student may commence the use of it almost as soon as he 
takes up his grammar, and continue it, at least as an occasional exercise, 
until he has finished his preparatory course. It is intended to smooth 
his way to original composition in the Latin language, both in prose and 
in verse. 

A Key to Latin Exercises 5 adapted to Andrews and 
Stoddard's Latin Grammar. 

This Key, containing all the lessons in the Exercises fully corrected, 
is intended for the use of teachers only. 



RoiIUE. The Viri Romae of Lhomond, adapted to' 
Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar ; with Notes and a 
copious Dictionary. 

A careful perusal of this book, after the student has made himself 
master of the Reader, will constitute a good preparation for reading the 
easier Latin classics, which, without some such intermediate work, are 
commonly read under great disadvantages. It will at the same time ren- 
der him familiar with the principal characters and most prominent events 
of Roman history. 

Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War ; with a 

Dictionary and Notes. 

The text of this edition of Csesar's Gallic War has been formed by 
reference to the best modern German editions. The Notes are 



grammatical, and are intended to afford that kind and degree of assistance 
which the student may be supposed to need at his first introduction to a 
genuine classic author. The Dictionary, which, like all the others in the 
series, has been prepared with great labor, contains not only the usual 
significations of each word, and its derivation, but an explanation of all 
those phrases which might otherwise perplex the student. 
[The above work is nearly completed, and will soon be put to press.] 

$alliest. Sallust's History of the War against Jugurtha, 
and of the Conspiracy of Catiline ; with a Dictionary and 
Notes. 

The plan of this edition of Sallust is the same as that of the preceding 
work. The text of Cortius has, in many instances, been exchanged for 
that of Kr'itz or Gerlach, and its orthography is, in general, conformed to 
that of Pottier and of Planche, and is, consequently, in most cases, the 
same as is found in school editions of the other Latin classics. 

Ovid. Selections from the Metamorphoses and Heroides 
of Ovid ; with Notes, Grammatical References, and Exer- 
cises in Scanning. 

These Selections are designed as an introduction to Latin poetry. 
They consist of the most interesting fables from Ovid, with numerous 
brief notes explanatory of difficult phrases, of obscure historical or mytho- 
logical allusions, and especially of grammatical difficulties. To these are 
added such Exercises in Scanning as will serve fully to introduce the 
student to a knowledge of the structure and laws of hexameter and 
pentameter verse. 



New Series of Latin School Books. 

ANDREWS AND STODDARD'S LATIN GRAMMAR has long since been intro- 
duced into the LATIN SCHOOL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON, and into most 
of the other principal Classical Schools in this country. It is adopted by 
all the Colleges in New England, viz., HARVARD, YALE, DARTMOUTH, 
AMHERST, WILLIAMS, BOWDOIN, WATERVILLE, MIDDLEBURY, BURLING- 
TON, BROWN UNIVERSITY at Providence, WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY at Mid- 
dletown,and WASHINGTON COLLEGE at Hartford; also at HAMILTON COL- 
LEGE, New York, NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, city of New York, CINCINNATI 
COLLEGE and MARIETTA COLLEGE, Ohio, RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE, 
Virginia, MOUNT HOPE COLLEGE, near Baltimore, MARYLAND INSTITUTE 
OF INSTRUCTION and ST. MARY'S COLLEGE, Baltimore, and the UNIVER- 
SITIES OF MICHIGAN and ALABAMA ; and has been highly recommended 
by Professors Kingsley, Woolsey, Olmstead, and Gibbs, of Yale College; 
Professor Beck, of Harvard College ; President Penney and Professor North, 
of Hamilton College; Professor Packard, of Bowdoin College; Professor 
Holland, of Washington College ; Professor Fisk, of Amherst College, and 
by Professor Hacketfc, of Brown University; also by Messrs. Dillaway 
and Gardner, of the Boston Latin School ; Rev. Lyman Colman, of the 
English High School, Andover ; Hon. John Hall, Principal of the Elling- 
ton School, Conn. ; Mr. Slialcr, Principal of the Connecticut Literary 
Institution, at Suffield ; Simeon Hart, Esq., Farmington, Conn.; Pro- 
fessor Cogswell, of Round Hill School, Northampton ; President Shan- 
non, of Louisiana College, and by various periodicals. 

As a specimen of the communications received from the above sources, 
the following extracts are given : 

It gives me great pleasure to bear my testimony to the superior merits of the 
Latin Grammar lately edited by Professor Andrews and Mr. Stoddard. 1 express 
most cheerfully, unhesitatingly, and decidedly, my preference of this Grammar 
to that of Adam, which has, for so long a time, kept almost undisputed sway 
in our schools. Dr. C. Beck, Professor of Latin in Harvard University. 

I know of no grammar published in this country, which promises to answer so 
well the purposes of elementary classical instruction, and shall be glad to sep it 
introduced into our best schools. Mr. Charles K. Dillaway, Master of the 
Public Latin School, Boston. 

Your new Latin Grammar appears to me much better suited to the use of 
student* than any other grammar I am acquainted with. Professor William 
M. Holland, Washington College, Hartford, Conn. 

I can with much pleasure say that your Grammar seems to me much better 
adapted to the present condition and wants of our schools than any one with which 
I arn acquainted, and to supply that which has long been wanted a good Latin 
grammar for common use. Mr. P. Gardner, one of the Masters Boston Lot. Sch. 

The Latin Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard is deserving, in my opinion, of 
the approbation which so many of our ablest teachers have bestowed upon it 
It is believed that, of all the grammars at present before the public, this has 
greatly the advantage, in regard both to the excellence of its arrangement, and 
the accuracy and copiousness of its information; and it is earnestly hoped that 
its merits will procure for it that general favor and use to which it is entitled. 
H. B. Hackett, Professor of Languages in Brown University. 

The universal favor with which this Grammar is received was not unexpected. 
It will bear a thorough and discriminating examination. In the use of well- 
defined and expressive terms, especially in the syntax, we know of no Latin or 
Greek grammar which is to be compared to this. Amer. Quarterly Register. 

The Latin Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard [ consider a work of great 
merit. I have found in it several principles of the Latin language correctly ex- 
plained which I had myself learned from a twenty years' study of that language, 
but had never seen illustrated in any grammar. Andrews's First Lessons I con-

sider a valuable work for beginners, and in the sphere which it is designed to 
occupy, I know not that I have met its equal. Rev. James Shannon, President 
Qf College of Louisiana. 

These works will furnish a series of elementary publications for the study of 
Latin altogether in advance of any thing which has hitherto appeared, either in 
this country or in England. American Biblical Repository. 

We have made Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar the subject both of 
reference and recitation daily forseveml months, and I cheerfully and decidedly 
bear testimony to its superior excellence to any manual of the kind with which 
I am acquainted. Every part bears the impress of a careful compiler. The 
principles of syntax are happily developed in the rules, whilst those relating to 
the moods and tenses supply an important deficiency in our former grammars. 
The rules of prosody are also clearly and fully exhibited. Rev. Lyman Cole- 
man, Principal of Burr Seminary, Manchester, Vt. 

I have examined Andrews and Stoddard's Latin Grammar, and regard it aa 
superior to any thing of the kind now in use. It is what has long been needed, 
and will undoubtedly be welcomed by every one interested in the philology of 
the Latin language. We shall hereafter use it as a text-book in this institution. 
Mr. Win. H. Shaler, Principal of the Connecticut Lit. Institution at Siiffield. 

This work bears evident marks of great care and skill, and ripe and accurate 
scholarship in the authors. It excels most grammars in this particular, that, 
while by its plainness it is suited to the necessities of most beginners, by its 
fulness and detail it will satisfy the inquiries of the advanced scholar, and will 
be a suitable companion at all stages of his progress. We cordially commend 
it to the student and teacher. Biblical Repository. 

Your Grammar is what I expected it would be an excellent book, and just the 
thing which was needed. We cannot hesitate a moment in laying aside tho 
books now in use, and introducing this. Rev. J. Penney, D. D., President of 
Hamilton College, New York. 

Your Grammar bears throughout evidence of original and thorough investiga- 
tion and sound criticism. 1 hope, and doubt not, it will be adopted in our schools 
and colleges, it being, in my apprehension, so far as simplicity is concerned, on 
the one hand, and philosophical views and sound scholarship on the other, far 
preferable to other grammars ; a work at the same time highly creditable to your- 
selves and to our country. Professor A. Packard, Bowdoin College, Maine. 

This Grammar appears to me to be accommodated alike to the wants of the 
new beginner and the experienced scholar, and, as such, well fitted to supply 
what has long been felt to be a great desideratum in the department of classical 
learning. Professor S. North, Hamilton College, New York. 

From such an examination of this Grammar as I have been able to give it, 1 
do not hesitate to pronounce it superior to any other with which I am acquainted. 
I have never seen, any where, a greater amount of valuable matter compressed 
within limits equally narrow. Hon. John Hall, Prin. of Ellington School, Conn. 

We have no hesitation in pronouncing this Grammar decidedly superior to 
any now in use. Boston Recorder. 

I am ready to express my great satisfaction with your Grammar, and do not 
hesitate to say, that 1 am better pleased with such portions of the syntax as 1 
have perused, than with the corresponding portions in any other grammar with 
which I am acquainted. Professor N. W. Fiske, Amherst College, Mass. 

I know of no grammar in the Latin language so well adapted to answer the 
purpose for which it was designed as this. The book of Questions is a valuable 
attendant of the Grammar. Simeon Hart, Esq., Farmington, Conn. 

This Grammar has received the labor of years, and is the result of much re- 
flection and experience, and mature scholarship. As such, it claims the atten- 
tion of all who are interested in the promotion of sound learning. N. Y. Obs. 

This Grammar is an original work. Its arrangement is philosophical, and its 
rules clear and precise, beyond those of any other grammar we have seen.* 
Portland Christian Mirror.

PREFACE. V^ 



THE following Exercises form the concluding volume of a 
series of elementary Latin works, the basis of which is the Latin 
Grammar of Andrews and Stoddard. In addition to the Grammar 
and Exercises, the series includes, under the title of " First Lessons 
in Latin," an abridgment of the Grammar, with short reading les- 
sons and corresponding exercises in syntax ; and also an edition of 
" Jacobs and Boring's Latin Reader," with copious references to 
the larger Grammar. 

The volume now offered to the public consists of exercises de- 
signed to illustrate the principles of orthoepy, etymology, syntax, 
and prosody, as exhibited in the same Grammar, and to render their 
application easy and familiar to the student. 

The exercises in syntax are divided into two parts. In the first, 
which contains only short sentences, intended to illustrate the more 
important principles of syntax, the rules are arranged in such a 
manner, as to prevent, in a great degree, the introduction of idioms 
not previously illustrated. In the second part, the order of the 
rules in the Grammar has been preserved, and the number of exam- 
ples has been proportioned, in some degree, to the importance or 
difficulty of the rule. Subjoined to these are other examples, 
illustrative of the more important remarks and exceptions under 
each rule. To the examples of English and Latin sentences, ar- 
ranged in corresponding columns, are added others, consisting of 
English sentences only, with notes designed to aid the student in 
his choice of words and phrases, and to lead him to the right con- 
struction. In the syntactic part of the work, Dr. Kenrick's Exer- 
cises, adapted to his translation of Zumpt's Grammar, have furnished 
many of the most valuable materials ; and whatever was wanting in 
that work to complete the plan of these exercises has been supplied 
from other sources. 



4 PREFACE. 

The prosodial exercises are taken from Bradley's Prosody, and 
will be found particularly useful to those who wish to acquire the 
art of writing Latin verses an art, as experience has shown, 
highly useful in improving the classical taste of those who practise 
it, and scarcely requiring more time or labor for its acquisition than 
is often spent in decrying it. 

In regard to the mode of using this work, much must be left to 
the judgment of the teacher, who Avill be guided, in this respect, 
by a consideration of the age and attainments of the student. In 
general, the exercises in etymology, and the shorter ones in syntax, 
can be corrected after the first perusal of the Grammar ; while the 
remaining parts should be studied in connection with a thorough 
review of those portions of the Grammar to which they relate. 
In commencing the study of this work, it may be best for the student 
to write the principal part of his exercises; but subsequently, and 
especially in reviewing it, oral translations will probably be found 
more useful. By this means, English words and phrases become 
permanently associated with the corresponding Latin expressions, 
so that the latter are immediately suggested by the former. 

The exercises in hexameter and pentameter verses can be com- 
menced as soon as the student is well acquainted with the principal 
rules of prosody. With these it may be found useful to connect the 
composition of what are called nonsense verses, or lines correctly 
constructed, according to the rules of prosody, but without regard 
to the meaning of the words of which they are composed. An 
accurate knowledge of the mechanical structure of the verse may, 
in this way, be readily acquired ; after which the transition will 
be easy, on the part of those who possess some share of poetical 
genius, to the composition of sense verses. 

When the student is familiar with the exercises contained in this 
volume, he will be prepared to commence original composition ; 
which should always be accompanied with a careful perusal of the 
best Latin classics, from which alone a pure idiom can be acquired.

ETYMOLOGY. 

PART I. 

NOUNS. 

The following questions are inserted as examples of exercises on the 
declensions. 

What are the terminations of the several cases in the first 
declension in each number? in the second declension? 
in the third? in the fourth? in the fifth? What is the 
termination of the nom. sing, in the first declension? nom. 
plur. ? gen. sing. ? gen. plur. ? dat. sing ? dat. plur. ? 

ace. sing.? ace. plur.? voc. sing.? voc. plur.? 

abl. sing. ? abl. plur. ? 

Similar questions should be proposed in regard to the other declen- 
ions, varying their order, till each termination can be readily given

without reference to its connection ; after which promiscuous exercises 
on all the declensions can be introduced. 

What is the root of aula ? cur a 1 galea ? insula ? 
litera ? luscinia ? machma ? penna ? sagitta 1 
Stella 1 toga ? 

What is the root of animus 1 clypeus ? corvus 1 gla- 
dius ? numerus ? puer ? socer ? aper 1 faber ? 
magister 1 antrum 1 bellum 1 negotium ? 

What is the root of poema ? stemma ? anclle ?

apex ? senex ? nix ? nox ? 

What is the root of cantus ? currus ? exercitus 1 
veru 1 Jides 1 spes ? fades 1 

The student will perceive that the roots of many nouns and adjec- 
tives are not found in the nominative singular. For the purpose of 
supplying the true root, as well as for determining the declension, the 
termination of the genitive singular is given in the dictionary, since, 
in all the declensions, the root may be found by removing the termi- 
nation of this case.

This affair made it very diffi-

and demands that they should 
surrender up the city to him, 
according to their engagement. 

There was a great dispute 
among the generals, whether 
they should defend themselves 
by their walls, or should meet 
the enemy, and engage in battle. 

R. 2. You would have sup- 
posed that Sylla had come into 
Italy, not as the avenger of war, 
but as the promoter of peace; 
with so much tranquillity did he 
lead his army through Apulia and 
Calabria. 

Could you have thought, that 
it could ever happen, that I should 
be at a loss for words 1 

Alexander uttered frequent 
groans, just as if the death of his 
own mother had been announced ; 
you would have believed that he 
was weeping amidst his own con- 
nections, and not administering, 
but seeking consolation. 

R. 3. Grant, indeed, that those 
are good things which are so 
esteemed, honors, riches, pleas- 
ures, and the rest, yet even in 
the enjoyment of these, immode- 
rate joy is unseemly. 

Grant that there is a difference 
between the dignity of the highest 
men and the lowest ; there is not 
one degree of crime in killing 
illustrious men, and another, the 
obscure. 

R. 4. I could relate on suffi- 
cient evidence, that Augustus 
was surnamed Thursinus. 

Brother, with your good leave 
I would say (it,) this sentiment is 
very prejudicial to the public, when

it is alleged that something is 
true and right, but it is denied 
that it can be carried, that is, 
that the people can be resisted. 

You can scarcely find a man 
of any nation, age, or rank, whose 
felicity you can compare to the 
fortunes of Metellus. 

I would not deny that my lan- 
guage seemed to you harsh and 
atrocious ; but how much more 
atrocious do you think that your 
deeds are, than my words? 

I should not reckon him sec- 
ond or third in a chariot-race, 
who has scarcely quitted the bar- 
riers, when the first has already 
received the palm. 

The third mode of mining 
would outdo the work of the 
giants ; galleries being carried 
through a great space, the moun- 
tains are excavated by torch-

I wish you to be persuaded 
that you can do nothing more ac- 
ceptable to me, than to assist 
Lamia in his candidateship with 
all your resources. 

It escaped me to write to you 
before about Dionysius ; if it 
shall be necessary to send for 
him, (which I do not wish,) you 
will take care that we do not give 
him trouble against his will. 

Assuredly I should not a little 
prefer the mind of Socrates to 
the fortunes of all those who sat 
in judgment upon him. 

R. 5. Who would deny that

If we ourselves, who are pre- 
cluded from all gratification by 
our business, are nevertheless at- 
tracted by the games, why should 
you wonder at the uneducated 
multitude? 

Who would not, with reason, 
wonder that the plane-tree should 
have been brought from another 
hemisphere only for the sake of 
its shade ? 

What can seem great to him 
in human affairs, to whom all 
eternity and the magnitude of 
the whole universe is known ? 

One furious gladiator carries 
on war against his country ; are 
we to yield to him ; are we to 
listen to his conditions ? 

R. 6. So live with an inferior, 
as you would wish a superior to 
live with you. 

Let every one become ac- 
quainted with his own disposi- 
tion, and show himself a severe 
judge both of his own good qual- 
ities and faults. 

Do not allow it to happen, that 
when all (advantages) have been

Metellus Pius was asked what

PROTASIS AND APODOSIS. 



In a sentence containing a condition and a 
conclusion, the former is called the protasis, the latter 
the apodosis. 



1. They report that Alexan- 
der said," If I were not Alexander, 
I would willingly be Diogenes." 

There are innumerable things 
of the same kind which I could 
not endure, if I had not my 
friend Atticus as a partner of 
my pursuits. 

These things seem ridiculous 
to you, because you were not 
present, which if you were to 
see, you could not help weeping. 

If any one were to dig round 
these plane-trees and water them, 
their branches would not be knot- 
ty, and their trunks unsightly. 

If the gods were to make phi- 
losophy a vulgar good, if we were 
born wise, wisdom would lose 
what is the best part of it ; it 
would be among accidental things. 

2. The war carried on before 
Modena followed ; in which, were 
I to call Atticus only prudent, I 
should say less than I ought. 

Even in causes in which we 
have only to do with the judges, 
and not with the people, yet, if 
I were deserted by the audi- 
ence, I should not be able to 
speak. 

I neither could imitate the ora- 
tions which Thucydides has intro- 



Alexander dico fero, 
" Nisi Alexander sum, 
sum libenter Diogenes."

If wisdom were given me with

R. 1. If a good reputation is 
better than riches, and money is 
so eagerly desired, how much

There is the greatest accuracy 
of information in the senses, if 
they are sound, and all things are

If thou art a god, said the 
Scythian ambassadors to Alex- 
ander, thou oughtest to bestow 
benefits on mortals, not to take 
away theirs. 

If a pilot is extolled with dis- 
tinguished praise, who saves a 
ship from a storm and a sea full 
of rocks, why should not his pru- 
dence be thought peculiar who 
has attained safety from amidst 
public commotions? 

If you love me, if you know 
that you are loved by me, exert 
yourself through your friends, cli- 
ents, guests, (and) in short, your 
freedmen and slaves, that no leaf

Sergius Claudius left.

the right of war, that those who

Joined with the evils of cities 
on the sea-coast, is also this great 
convenience, that they can carry 
what their lands produce into 
whatever countries they please. 

In punishing injuries the law 
aims at these three things, either 
that it may reform him whom it

ment it may render others better, 
or that by the removal of bad

R. 1. Hannibal so united his

Oratory moves the minds of

The harangues of Thucydides

HEXAMETER VERSE. 

31O. A hexameter, or heroic verse, consists of six feet. 
Of these, the fifth is a dactyl, the sixth a spondee, and each of the 
other four either a dactyl or a spondee. 

The lines in the first four of the following exercises are already 
divided into feet, so that the scanning of them will be completed by 
marking, and proving the quantity of their syllables by the rules of 
prosody : the other lines must be divided, as well as marked and 
proved.

PENTAMETER VERSE. 

311. A pentameter verse consists of five feet. It is gene- 
rally, however, divided, in scanning, into two hemistichs, the first 
consisting of two feet, either dactyls or spondees, followed by a 
long syllable ; the last of two dactyls, also followed by a long 
syllable. 

The following poem consists of alternate hexameter and pentameter 
lines, forming what is called elegiac verse.

305. PROSODY SYNAL^SPHA AND ECTHLIPSIS. 283 



SYNAL^EPHA AND ECTHLIPSIS. 

3O5. 1. A final vowel or diphthong is cut off in scanning, 
when the following word begins with a vowel. This is called 
synalsepha. 

2. Final m, with the preceding vowel, is cut off, when the fol- 
lowing word begins with a vowel. This is called ecthlipsis. 



The exercises which follow are designed to exemplify the obser- 
vations on caesura, as well as the remarks in 305 and 306. The 
introduction of synalaepha or ecthlipsis will not therefore be sufficient 
to form them into verses, without a change in the position of the 
words. The sentences in English are intended to be translated into 
Latin verse, by an application of the rules of syntax, as well as of 
prosody, to the corresponding words in Latin, which follow them : 
in these exercises a change in the arrangement of the words is not 
necessary. 

1. Nempe sylva inter varias nutritur columnas, 
Laudaturque domus, qus prospicit longos agros. 

2. Vivite felices, et vivite memores nostri,

Ulla nee uberior, nee ulla est, quse rnagis sestuet. 

7. At nisi pectus purgatum est, quse praelia nobis ! 
Turn scindunt hominem cupidinis quantse acres 
Cursa solicitum ! quantique timores perinde ! 

8. Poma quoque, utprimum senscre valentes truncos, 
Et habuere suas vires, raptirn ad sidera

The contraction of one word, at least, in each of the following exer- 
cises is necessary, in order to form them into verses. The exercises, 
which are not translated, require a change in the position of the words, 
but in the English exercises this alteration of the arrangement will not 
be found necessary.

ENALLAGE, OR VARIATION OF WORDS. 

In the composition of Latin verse, it will often be found necessary 
not only to change the prosaic arrangement of the words, but to sub- 
stitute for some of the expressions, other phrases of the same signifi- 
cation, but of different length and quantity. In the following exercises, 
the blanks are to be filled by a word in the preceding line. 

33 ? 3. Enallage is a change of words, or a subsitution of 
one gender, number, case, person, tense, mood, or voice of the 
same word for another. 

The plural number is sometimes used instead of the singular ; 
adjectives instead of adverbs ; possessive adjectives instead of 
genitives, and genitives instead of possessive adjectives; partici- 
ples instead of verbs, relatives and verbs, or conjunctions and 
verbs ; compound instead of simple, and simple instead of com- 
pound words ; a word or words repeated instead of a conjunc- 
tion; neuter verbs instead of sum; sum instead ofhabeo; a passive 
instead of an active voice ; or an impersonal verb instead of a 
neuter verb with a nominative. 

Singular and Plural.

Nee levis ingenuis pectus colo artibus 

Cura sum, et edisco duo lingua. 

83. I have often, though unwillingly, drunk bitter juices when sick, 
And the feast has been denied to me, though asking for it. You will 
endure sword and fire that you may save the body ; Nor, though thirsty, 
will you wash your parched mouth with water. Will you, then, refuse 
to bear any thing that you may be well in mind? But this part of 
man is of more value than the body.

might have seen my pale limbs tremble ; The bed was shaken by my 
body that was laid on it. 

Ut csquor fit tremulum tenuis cum stringor ventus, 
Ut stringor tepidus fraxini (enall.) virga notus, 

Sic meus vibror pallidus membrum video ; 

Quassus ab corpus, quod impositus sum (enall.) lectus sum. 

96. What indeed can it profit one who is about to die to know the 
causes of things, To connect things that are present with things to 
come, to roam in thought Beyond the sun and the stars? Surely The 
same law of death, and the same common grave, await us all. 

Ecquid enim prosum causa res cognosco, 
Conjungo (enall.) venturus prsesens, animus vagor 
Sol atque sidus super, moriturus ? Scilicet cunctus 
Unus letum lex maneo, et communis sepulcrum. 

97. The land of the Romans had not anciently any skilful husband- 
men ; Fierce wars wholly occupied its active inhabitants. There was 
more honor in the sword than in the curved plough ; The neglected 
land produced but little to its owner. 

Non habeo terra peritus antique (enall.} colonus ; 

Lasso agilis asper proslium vir. 
Plus sum mferrum quam curvus honor aratrum ; 

Neglectus dominus paucus (enall.) produce ager. 

98. You are accustomed often to ask me, Priscus, what sort of man 
I should be, If I were suddenly to be made rich and become powerful. 
Do you, then, think that any one can say what his future conduct will 
be ? Tell me, now, if you were to become a lion, what sort of a lion 
should you be ?

Saepe qu&ro soleo, qualis sum, Priscus, futurus, 

Si fio locuples sumque subito pollens. 
Quisquam possum puto mos (enall.} dico futurus ! 

Dico ego qualis, si fio tu leo, sum ? 

99. But neither the woods of the Medians, that most fertile land, 
Nor the celebrated Ganges, and the river Mermus thick with its golden, 
sands, Can vie with the praises of Italy, not Bactra, nor the Indians, 
Nor all Panchaia rich in soils producing frankincense. 

Sed neque Medi nemus, ditissimus regio^ 
Nee pulcher Ganges, el auro turbidus Herruus, 
Laus Italia contendo, non Bactra, neque Indi, 
Omnis et thurifer Panchaia dives arena. 

100. But here in Italy are no ravening tigers, nor the savage race of 
lions ; Nor do poisonous herbs deceive the wretched people who gather 
them. Neither does the scaly serpent here sweep his immense folds 
along the ground, nor to a vast Length extended, curl himself into 
a circle. 

At rabidus tigris absum, et ssevus semen (enall.} leo; 

nee miserandus dccipio aconitum, qui lego, (enall.) 

Nee rapio maximus orbis per terra, neque tantus 
Squameus in spira tractu sui colligo serpcns. 

101. Let him commend the repasts of a short meal, and salutary 
Justice, and the laws, and peace with her open gates. Let him 
faithfully keep secrets intrusted to him ; let him pray and beseech 
the gods That prosperity may return to the wretched, and forsake the 
haughty. 

Is dapes commendo mensa exiguus, et (enall.} saluber

Is tego commissus ; divusqne precorywe oro 
Ut redeo infelix, desero fortuna arnbitiosus. 

102. But he calls the land his own, as far as where the planted 
poplar Prevents by fixed boundaries the disputes of neighbors ; as 
though Any thing could be his own, which, in a moment of the fleet- 
ing hour, At one time by solicitation, at another by purchase, at an- 
other by violence, at another by the last fate of man, May change its 
masters, and fall into another's power. 

Sed appello usque stium, qua populus adsitus certus

103. Neither should you fear that his mind, becoming, perhaps from 
his regard to futurity, Somewhat averse to the duties of life, should re- 
fuse to bear labors, And encounter dangers, if the public good should 
require it. This indifference to worldly things Rather makes the man 
free and vigorous, and in all things that he undertakes Bold and invin- 
cible ; and it strengthens him in all difficulties.

ELLIPSIS. 

323, 1. Ellipsis is the omission of some word or words in 
a sentence. 

Many of the lines in the following exercises will require an altera- 
tion in the arrangement of the words, as well as the introduction of the 
figure ellipsis, before they can be formed into verses. 

1. O Britain, fairest abode of liberty, let this happier lot be thine, To 
escape both the fate of Rome and the guilt of Rome. 

Sum tibi, o sedes pulchorrimus libertas, melior sors, 

nescio et fatum (enall.) Roma et crimen (enall.) Roma. 

2 Gray hairs also have not yet spoiled the beauty of my jetty locks, 
Neither has crooked old age with a slow step approached. 

Et nondum canus laedo meus niger capillus, 
Nee curvus senecta venio tardus pes. 

3. The poplar tree is the most acceptable tree to Hercules, the 
vine the most acceptable to Bacchus, The myrtle the most accepta- 
ble to lovely Venus, to Phoebus his own laurel is the most acceptable. 

Populus Alcidae sum gratissimus arbor, vitis gratissimus lacchus, 
Myrtus gratissimus formosus Venus, Phrebus sum gratissimus suus

4. O wretched me ! with what vast waves are the shores beaten ' 
How is the day also hidden, obscured by thick clouds ! 

O ego miser ! quantus fluctus (enall.) litus plangor !

5. You now I warn. Happy art thou, who, from another's misery, 
Shalt learn how to escape thine own misery.

7. The brooks are dry ; the meadows are despoiled of their beauty 
by the mildew ; And nothing that felt the blast survives. I saw the 
flowers fade, I saw the roses die, and I saw the lilies languish. 

Rivus deficio ; pratuin squaleo rubigo ; 

Et nihil afflatus vivo. Video ligustrum palleo, 

Expire rosa video, decresco lilium et ego video. 

8. A garden adorned with odoriferous flowers was near, Divided as 
to its ground by a stream of water softly murmuring : There Tarquin 
the secret messages of his son Receives, and he cuts down with a rod 
the tallest lilies. 

Hortus cultissimus odoratus gramen (synon.) subsum, 
Sectus secundum humus rivus aqua sonans lene : 

Illic Tarquinius latens suus filius (synon.) mandatum 
Accipio, et ille meto virga summus lilium. 

9. When the messenger returned, and reported that the lilies were 
cut down, His son exclaimed, " I understand the orders of my father." 
Nor was there any delay. The chiefs of the city Gabii being slain, 
The defenceless walls are surrendered to his generals. 

Ut nuncius redeo, (sync.} decussusque lilium dico, 

Natus (synon.) suus aio, " Ego agnosco jussum meus parens." 

Nee ullus rnora sum. Princeps ex urbs Gabina ca3sus,

10. As many shells as the sea-shores have, as many blossoms as the 
fragrant beds of roses have, As many seeds as the sleep-bringing poppy 
has, By so many distressing things am I afflicted ; which if 1 should 
attempt to number, 1 might as well attempt to tell the number of the 
waves of the Icarian sea. 

Litus quot concha habeo, quot flos rosarium amoenus habeo, 

Quotve granum soporifer papaver habeo, 
Tot adversus res premor; qui comprehendo (sync.) si ego conoi, 

Ego conor dico numerus Icarius aqua. 

11. Man alone, who is capable of acquiring knowledge, who has an 
ardent desire Of tracing out the causes and mutual relations of things, 
Enters on a vain pursuit; for death hangs over him with sable wings, 
And arrests him in the midst of his journey as he is hurrying on. 

Homo solus, qui sum sagax scire, cui sum summus cupido 
Scrutari causa et res foedus mutuus, 
Ingredior vanus iter ; namque immineo is niger ala, 
Et in medius cursus intercludo is iens mors. 

12. Whither do you madly haste ? Although you should possess 
each Ocean, and although Lydia should pour forth for you her golden 
streams. And although the throne of Croesus and the diadem of Cyrus 
should be added to these riches, You never will be rich, you never will 
be satisfied with gain.

13. He, who is always desiring more, is always poor; contented 
with a little, honorably obtained, Fabricius despised the gifts of kings; 
And the consul Serranus labored at the heavy plough ; And an humble 
cottage held the heroic Curii. 

Ille, quicunque cupio, sum semper inops ; contentus honesto 
Parvo, Fabricius sperno munus rex ; 
Sudoque Serranus consul gravis aratrum ; 
Et angustus casa tego pugnax Curii. 

14. When I ask you for money without security, you say, " I have 
not any money ; " Yet you, the same person, have money, if my field 
is security for me. O Thelesinus, that which you will not trust to 
me, an old friend, You trust to my lands and to my trees. Behold, 
Carus has arrested you as a criminal; let my field help you. Do you 
ask for a companion in your exile ? let my field go with you. 

Cum ego rogo nummus (ena?l.) de tu (cna/L) sine pignus,

Ecce, Carus defero tu reus ; meus agellus tu adsum.

EPITHETS. 

The words printed in Italics in the following exercises are substan- 
tives, which either require epithets to be added to them, or which have 
adjectives connected with them that may be omitted. A different 
arrangement of the words will be required in almost every line. 

1. But you, O robbers and wolves, spare this little flock : Your prey 
should be taken from a herd. 

At tu, furque lupusque, parco exiguus pecus : 
prteda sum petendus de grex. 

2. O Nile, nature has never discovered to any one your source, 
Neither has it been allowed to the inhabitants of the earth to see you 
a small river.

3. Horace also has delighted my ears, While he brings forth from

the lofty heights of the Trojan city. 

Cosleste signum Minerva credor 
Desiluisse in altus jugum Iliacus urbs. 

5. At the entrance of the hollow cave, the habitation of the god 
of sleep, poppies in abundance grow, And herbs innumerable; from 
the juice of which Humid Night collects her sleepy power, and ex- 
tends it over the earth. 

Ante fores cavus antrum, foecundus papaver floreo, 
Et (synon.) innumerus herba ; qui de lac sopor 
Nox lego, et humidus per terra (enall.) spargo. 

6. Thus the violence of the winds, and the rain from which they 
wished to be screened, compelled mankind at first To build huts with 
straw, And to plaster their humble habitations around with mud. 

Sic vis ventus vitandique imbres primum adegit homo, 

stipula (enall.) tectum ponere, 

et claudo arctus sedes (enall.) limus. 

7. Nor are the wives of the East less renowned in fame : Neither 
with tears, nor with female cries, Do they deplore their husbands' 
death ; but, strange to be related, They ascend the funeral pile, and 
are consumed in the same devouring flames with their lifeless hus- 
bands. 

Nee Eous uxor minus celebror fama :

Ploro fatum (enall.) vir ; (sync.) verurn, mirabilis dicor, 

Conscendoque rogus,flammaque (enall.) vorax voror idem. 

8. The echoing wood resounds with the songs of birds, and every 
Shrub and every grove rings with music : The blackbirds also join 
their tuneful notes, and the doves their plaintive sounds; The har- 
monious lark from above pours forth its strains. 

Sylva vocalis resono chorus avis, atque (synon.) omnis 
Virgultum et ornnis nemus ferveo harmonia : 

Et merula misceo numerus gemitusque palumbes ;

9. He, who once refused to the needy worthless fragments of food, 
Now lives himself on food obtained by begging. Fortune wanders 
about with uncertain steps, And in no place remains constant and

10. But virtue does not produce these evils : we confidently assert, 
That if every one faithfully performed her sacred duties, Nothing 
would appear more desirable than sacred virtue; then would the 
golden ages return : But it is not our lot to live in a golden age. 

At virtus non parturio hie malum : immo fateor,

11. In the shady vales in the midst of Ida, there is a place Retired, 
and abounding with oaks and pitch trees, A place, which has never 
been touched by the mouth of the ox, Nor of the sheep, nor of the goat 
delighting in rocks. 

In nemorosus vallis medius Idae, sum locus 
Devius, et piceus atque (synon.) ilex frequens, 

Qui nee ovis, nee capella amans rupes, (synon.)

12. Nor, O wicked man, while life remains, are you free from pain- 
ful punishments: Although you may deceive mortal men, yet you can- 
not fly from yourself; The avenging furies disquiet you ; care, a 
harassing attendant, preys on you, And dwells as a tormentor in your 
conscience, which is still mindful of your crimes. 

Nee, improbus, dum vita maneo, des nullas serumnosas pcenas : 
Quanquam fallo mortal is homo, tarnen haud ipse effugio tu ; 
Dirae ultrix tu agito ; tu cura remordeo, comes ssevus,

13. The horse obeys the reins in time, And receives with a quiet 
mouth the hard bits. The fierceness of the African lions is subdued 
by time, Nor does that savage wildness remain in their disposition, 
which was once in it.

14. Thus the mourning nightingale bemoans under the shade of a

16. A moth is flying around my burning candle ; And now, and 
now again it almost burns its little wings. Often with my hand I 
keep it back when approaching, and " O moth," I cry, " what 
great desire to die urges you on?" Still it returns; and, although 
I strive to save it, It perseveres, and rushes into the flames and into 
death.

Through the cornfields, through the woods, the sheep, which has

which it is found in English. The remaining exercises are intended 
to be more freely translated, and the words in one line may often be 
introduced into the preceding or following verse.

(dominentur,) 

And deceit (fraus) counterfeiting friendship, and malignant 
envy,

qual law. 

11. Around the tame tiger (mansueta tigri) flowery bands the sportive

316 PROSODY MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 310. 

14. Often, too, when the wind is rising, (vento irnpendente,) you will

the shades (umbram) of night, 
Long trains (tractus) of flame (enaU.) gleaming (albescere) behind 

them, (a tergo.) 

15. Under this tree the dewy (madidi) Fauns (Fauni) often danced, (lu-

the lowly, 

Since even (ct) this little (minimum) reptile has something (el- 
lip.) which is splendid, (nitcat.) 

18. In early spring, when the snow (periph.) on the hoary mountains

310. PROSODY MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 317 

Scattering ruin around, (naufragium spargens,) blocks up (operif) 

the sea ; and now on the waters

22. Their life was like the life (ellip.) of a beast, spent without any 

regularity ; (nullos agitato, per usus ;) 

They were a savage people, and destitute as yet of knowl- 
edge. 
They had (ndrant) for houses leaves, for food (frugibus) herbs; 

Water, drunk out of their two hands, was their nectar. 
No ox panted under the curved ploughshare ; 

No land was under the cultivation (imperio) of the husband- 
man, (colentis.) 

23. Night had wrapped all things in darkness and in her silent shade, 

And deep sleep had seized on weary man. 

24. The birds were now singing, and the sun hastened from the east, 

To open with a purple smile the day. 

25. The shepherd guides his flocks; he now takes in his arms the

wandering. 

26. The third morning had from the heavens removed the cold shades 

of night, (ellip.)

the high-raised (altus) ashes and 
The bones intermingled with each other, and placed over them a 

warm mound of earth. 

27. Begone, ye sleepless cares ; begone, complaints,

(anguiferos rictus.) 

28. Thus (talis) the Parthian lord leads from the Tigris 
His barbarian troops, and proudly adorns his head

27* 



318 PROSODY MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 310 

29. For now Eurus collects his strength from the purple east ; 

Now Zephyr approaches hasting from the west, (sero vespere 

missus.) 

Now cold Boreas rages (bacchatur) from the dry north ; (Arcto ;) 
Now the south wind joins the contest with an opposing front. 

30. Androcles, who had fled as an exile from the anger of his master, 

Wandered over the parched sands of Libya. 
At length, when wearied and exhausted by his journey, (Lahore vi- 

arum,) 
A secret cave presented itself to him at the side of a rock. 

31. He enters the cave ; and scarcely had he committed his wearied 

limbs to sleep, 

When suddenly an immense lion roars in the cavern. 
It lifted up its wounded foot, and, uttering a mournful cry, 

It implored, as well as it was able to implore, the assistance of 
Androcles. 

32. The fugitive slave, struck with the novelty of the circumstance, 

and hesitating with fear, 
Scarcely at length moves his trembling hands to the assistance 

of the lion; (cllip.) 
But, after having examined the thorn, (for a thorn stuck in the 

wound,) 
He carefully and tenderly draws it out of the lion's foot. 

33. Now again he roams through the sylvan shades, and the groves j 

and, like an attentive host, 

Brings to the cave for Androcles constant food. 
The man, as the lion's guest, sits down to the feasts prepared for 

him, (dlip.) 
And hesitates not to partake of the undressed provisions. 

34. But who could bear to live thus solitarily in a cheerless desert ? 

(ticdia descrtcc vita.) 

Scarcely could the rage of a revengeful master be more ter- 
rible. 
The slave at length resolves to expose his devoted head to certain 

dangers, 
And again to seek his paternal abode. 

35. Here he is given up by his master ; and, doomed to afford a cruel 

entertainment to the people, 

He stands in the theatre as a wretched criminal. 
By chance the same lion that he had assisted in the desert, 

(cllip.) fierce and raging with hunger, rushes from the 

dens, 
And looks with an astonished countenance on his physician. 

36. He looks at him, and, as an old friend recognizing his former 

guest, 
He lies down at his well-known feet caressing him, (blandulus.^ 



PROSODY MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 319 

This prodigy (ellip.) was the work of nature alone : she alone, who 

gave to the lion all his rage, 
She alone induced him to repress it. 

37. The dove, that has been wounded by thy talons, O hawk, 

Is alarmed at the least rustling of a wing. 
The lamb, that has been at any time rescued from the jaws of a 

rapacious wolf, 
Never dares again to wander from the fold. 

38. Happy is the man, who has spent his days in his paternal fields, 

Whom the same roof shelters (vidct) when an old man, that 

sheltered him when a boy ; 
Who leaning on his staff, on the same sand on which he once 

crept as a child, (ellip.) 
Relates the long history (scecuhi) of his single habitation. 

39. Fortune has not led him through the innumerable vicissitudes of 

life ; (vario tumultu;) 

He has neither as a traveller (periph.) tasted of foreign waters; 
Nor as a merchant has he feared the seas, nor as a soldier the 

trumpet's sound ; 
Neither has he undergone the contentions of jarring courts of 

law. 

40. The lofty oak he (qui) remembers when it hung as an acorn 

(ellip.') on a little branch, 

And he sees the grove of the same age with himself, with him- 
self grow old. 

But yet unbroken is his strength, and the third generation sees 
him 

A grandsire still robust with vigorous limbs. 

41. For the men add to the noise (sonant) by their clamor, the ropes 

by their rattling, 
The heavy waters by the dashing of the waves against each ot ner, 

(undarum incursu,} and the sky by peals of thunder. 
The sea ascends in mighty waves, and seems to reach i he 

heavens, 
And sprinkles the contiguous clouds with briny dew. 

42. May I never so misapply the powers of my mind, 

As to become the flatterer of kings and the promoter of vice ; 
Nor may I spend the short space, that I can steal from the 

grave, 
In fawning and cringing (caudam submittam) like a fearful dog. 

43. There is near the Cimmerians (Cimmcrios) a cave in a long re- 

cess, 

Formed of a hollow mountain, the palace and retired abode of 
lazy Sleep ; 



320 PROSODY MISCELLANEOUS EXERCISES. 

Into this cave the sun, whether rising, or on the meridian, (medi~ 

usve^ or setting, 
Is never able to penetrate with his rays. Fogs, mixed with 

darkness, 
Are exhaled from the ground, and a glimmering (crepuscula) of 

dubious light. 

44. Again, to show what virtue, and what wisdom can accomplish, 
Homer (ellip.} has exhibited Ulysses to our view as an instructive 

example, 

Who, having subdued Troy, viewed with an observant eye the 
cities 

And manners of many nations, and, 

While seeking for himself and his associates the means of re- 
turning over the wide ocean to their own land, (ellip.) 

Endured many hardships, yet could never be overwhelmed by the 
waves of adversity. 

45. See lofty Lebanon his head advance ! 

See nodding forests on the mountain dance ! 

46. Ah me ! the blooming pride of May (Maii) 

And that of beauty are but one : 
A.t noon both flourish bright and gay ; 
At evening fade, are pale and gone. 

47. When winds approach, the vexed sea heaves around; 
From the bleak mountain comes a hollow sound; 
The loud blast whistles o'er the echoing shore; 
Rustle the murmuring woods, the rising billows roar. 

48. So the sweet lark, high poised in air, 

Shuts close his pinions to his breast, 
If chance his mate's shrill note he hear, 
And drops at once into her nest. 

4 ). Nations behold, remote from reason's beams, (ellip.) 
Where Indian Ganges rolls his sandy streams, 
Of life impatient, rush into the fire, 
And willing victims to their gods expire, 
Persuaded (percussa cupidine ccccd) the freed soul to regions flies, 

(scdes iibifata dedere quictas,') 
Blest with eternal spring and cloudless skies. 

50. Subdued at length, he owns Time's heavier tread, 
Bowed with the weight of ages on his head : 
So on some mountain's top the lofty pine, 
With years and tempests worn, in slow decline 
Droops to the chilling rains, the stormy gales, 
While wasting age its trembling boughs assails.
