Translate the following passage into Greek Prose :

:

If we would seize and comprehend the general outline of history, we must keep our eye steadily upon it; and must not suffer our attention to be confused by details, or drawn off by the objects immediately surrounding us. Judging from the feelings of the present, nothing so nearly concerns our interests as the matter of peace or war; and this is natural, as, in a practical point of view, they are both affairs of the highest moment; while the courageous and successful conduct of the one insures the highest degree of glory, and the solid establishment and lasting mainte nance of the other may be considered as the greatest problem of political art and human wisdom. But it is otherwise in universal history, when this is conceived in a comprehensive and enlarged spirit. Then the remotest Past, the highest antiquity, is as much entitled to our attention as the passing events of the day, or the nearest concerns of our own time. SCHLEGEL'S Philosophy of History.

Translate the following passage into Greek Verse :

O, reason not the need: our basest beggars
Are in the poorest things superfluous;
Allow not nature more than nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beasts; thou art a lady;

If only to go warm were gorgeous,

Why, nature need not what thou gorgeous wear'st
Which scarcely keeps thee warm.-But for true need--
You heavens, give me that patience, patience I need!
You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age; wretched in both!
If it be you that stir these daughters' hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely; touch me with noble anger!
And let not women's weapons, water drops,
Stain my man's cheeks!-No, you unnatural hags,
I will have such revenges on you both,

That all the world shall-I will do such things-
What they are yet I know not; but they shall be
The terrors of the earth-You think I'll weep;
No, I'll not weep :—

I have full cause of weeping; but this heart
Shall break into a hundred thousand flaws,
Or ere I'll weep;-0, fool, I shall go mad!

SHAKSPEARE.

Translate the following passage into Latin Prose :

Lords and Commons of England! consider what nation it is whereof ye are, and whereof ye are the governors: a nation not slow and dull, but of a quick, ingenious, and piercing spirit; acute to invent, subtile and sinewy to discourse, not beneath the reach of any point the highest that human capacity can soar to. Therefore the studies of learning in her deepest sciences have been so ancient, and so eminent among us, that writers of good antiquity and able judgment have been persuaded, that even the school of Pythagoras, and the Persian wisdom, took beginning from the old philosophy of this island. And that wise and civil Roman, Julius Agricola, who governed once here for Cæsar, preferred the natural wits of Britain before the laboured studies of the French.-MILTON.

Translate the following passage into Latin Verse :

"Mortal!"'twas thus she spake "that blush of shame
Proclaims thee Briton, once a noble name;

First of the mighty, foremost of the free,

Now honour'd LESS by all, and LEAST by me:
Chief of thy foes shall Pallas still be found.
Seek'st thou the cause of loathing?-look around.
Lo! here, despite of war and wasting fire,
I saw successive tyrannies expire.

'Scaped from the ravage of the Turk and Goth,
Thy country sends a spoiler worse than both.
Survey this vacant, violated fane;

Recount the relics torn that yet remain :
These Cecrops placed, this Pericles adorned,

That Adrian rear'd when drooping Science mourn'd.
What more I owe let gratitude attest-

Know Alaric and Elgin did the rest.

That all may learn from whence the plunderer came,
The insulted wall sustains his hated name;
For Elgin's fame thus grateful Pallas pleads
Below his name-above, behold his deeds!
Be ever hail'd with equal honour here
The Gothic monarch and the Pictish peer :
Arms gave the first his right; the last had none,
But basely stole what less barbarians won."
