clamor hostilis, et cursus per urbem armatorum omnia ferro flammâque miscet; sed silentium triste ac tacita mæstitia ita defixit omnium animos, ut præ metu obliti quid relinquerent, quid secum ferrent, deficiente consilio, rogitantesque alii alios, nunc in liminibus starent, nunc errabundi domos suas, ultimum illud visuri, pervagantur. Ut vero jam equitum clamor exire jubentium instaret, jam fragor tectorum quæ diruebantur, ultimis urbis partibus audiebatur, pulvisque ex distantibus locis ortus, velut nube inductâ omnia impleverat; raptim quibus quinque poterat elatis, quum Larem ac Penates, tectaque in quibus natus quisque educatusque esset, relinquentes exirent: jam continens agmen migrantium impleverat vias: et conspectus aliorum mutuâ miseratione integrabat lacrymas; vocesque etiam miserabiles exaudiebantur; mulierum præcipue, quum obsessa ab armatis templa augusta præterirent, ac velut captos relinquerent Deos.-LIVY, i. xxix.

And the army having entered the gates, there was neither a tumultuous confusion,1 nor a noise of men in terror,2 such as loves to happen in cities taken by storm,3 when through gates torn open or walls beaten down by engines, or from the citadel5 taken by force, the hostile incursion" of troops shouting subverts and demolishes everything by fire and sword; but a melancholy silence and voiceless grief so overwhelmed every man's mind, that forgetting 10 through fear, what they should leave, and what they should take away 11 with them, from absence of mind,12 each 3 Πορθούμενος. 4 КатаΕπιδρομή. 1 Θόρυβος ταραχώδης.

ORIGINAL PASSAGE. Inhabitants of Oporto! The French troops having been repelled from this town by the superior gallantry and discipline of the army under my command, I call upon the inhabitants of Oporto to be merciful to the wounded and prisoners. By the laws of war they are entitled to my protection, which I am determined to afford them; and it will be worthy of the generosity and bravery of the Portuguese nation not to revenge the injuries which have been done to them on these unfortunate persons, who can only be considered as instruments in the hands of the more powerful, who are still in arms against us. I, therefore, call upon the inhabitants of this town to remain peaceably in their dwellings. I forbid all persons, not military, to appear in the street with arms; and I give notice, that I shall consider any person who shall injure any of the wounded, or of the prisoners, as guilty of a breach of my orders. HOLDEN, p. 304. SAME PASSAGE ADAPTED. (In the style of Thucydides.) Men of Oporto! Since the army of the Galatians, defeated by our courage and discipline,3 has been expelled1 from this town, I call upon you, the citizens, at the present time to do no harm to the wounded' and prisoners. For, according to the laws of war, they have a right 10 to gain protection from me, which I declare they shall not lose; and it would be worthy of your native generosity 12 and courage, not to exact redress from these unfortunates for the injuries done to you,13 rather than to hold them [as] instruments,14 and governed by others more powerful, and yet warring against us.15 I call 16 upon you, then, in the city, to remain quiet at home; and I forbid 17 all, save the 11 13 2 'Eneidη, with indicative. 3 Τὸ ἡμέτερον 1 Ὦ ἄνδρες Οπωρταῖοι. πρόθυμόν τε καὶ εὔκοσμον.

'Very well, Sir,' cried the Squire, who immediately smoked him; and, winking on the rest of the company, to prepare us for the sport,-'if you are for a cool argument upon that subject, I am ready to accept the challenge. And first, whether are you for managing it analogically, or dialogically?' 'I am for managing it rationally,' cried Moses, quite happy at being permitted to dispute. 'Good again!' cried the Squire; ' and firstly, of the first. I hope, you'll not deny that whatever is, is. If you don't grant me that, I can go no further.' Why,' returned Moses, 'I think I may grant that, and make the best of it.' 'I hope, too,' returned the other, 'you'll grant that a part is less than the whole.' 'I grant that, too,' cried Moses; 'it is but just and reasonable.' 'I hope,' cried the Squire, 'you'll not deny that the three angles of a triangle are equal to two right ones.' 'Nothing can be plainer,' returned the other, and looked round with his usual importance. 6 Very well,' cried the Squire, speaking very quickly, 'the premises being thus settled, I proceed to observe, that the concatenation of self-existences, proceeding in a reci procal duplicate ratio, naturally produces a problematical dialogism, which in some measure proves that the essence of spirituality may be referred to the second predicable.' 'Hold, hold!' cried the other, 'I deny that. Do you think, I can thus tamely submit to such heterodox doctrines?' 'What!' cried the Squire, as if in a passion, 'not submit? Answer me one plain question: Do you think Aristotle right when he says, that relatives are related?' 'Undoubtedly,' replied the other. 'If so, then,' cried the Squire,' answer me directly to what I propose: Whether do you judge the analytical investigation of the first part of my Enthymeme deficient Secundum quoad, or quoad minus? And give me your reasons; give me your reasons, I say, directly.'. Vicar of Wakefield (Oriel Fellowship, 1854).
