You ought ii jw to be able to translate, at least with the aid 

 of a dictionary, an easy Latin sentence. Make the trial. Here 

 is a fable by JEsop. I have marked the order in which the 

 words should be taken. Can you translate it ? 



Accipiter et Columbce.

patrocinium vitandum esse. 



Have you read the whole carefully through ? There are words 

 you do not know the meaning of ? Well, there are several 

 with which you ought to be familiar. I will supply you with 

 the signification of such as I suppose you do not know. 



VOCABULAEY. 



Accipiter, -tris, m., a Milvius, -i, m., a kite. Possum, posse, potui, 



hawk. Patrocinium, -i, m., I am able. 



Edo,3,rput/orth,cause. patronage. Strages,-is,f., slaughter. 



With this aid you ought to be able to make out the whole. 

 Here, then, you have a test of your progress. If you cannot, 

 after sufficient study, make it out, you may feel assured that 

 you have not attended to my instructions as you should have 

 done. However, I will supply you with a nearly literal trans- 

 lation, as another means of assisting you. 



The Hawk and the Wood Pigeons. 



The wood pigeons, through fear of the kite, entreated the hawk to 

 defend them. He assented. But, being received into the dovecote, 

 he committed more slaughter in one day than the kite could have 

 done in a long time. The fable teaches you that the patronage of the 

 wicked should be shunned. 



I will also show you the grammatical connection of some of 

 the words, and the reason of the condition in which they severally 

 are ; that is, I will give you in it a specimen of what is called 

 Parsing. 



Columbae, from columba, columbce, a wood-pigeon or dove ; a 

 noun feminine of the first declension, in the nominative case, 

 plural number, being the subject to the verb rogaverunt. 



Milvii, from milvius, milvii; a noun masculine of the second 

 declension, governed in the genitive case by metu. 



Metu, from metus, metus ; a noun masculine of the fourth de- 

 clension, in the ablative case, the cause, manner, or instru- 

 ment being put in the ablative. 



Accipitrem, from accipiter, accipitris ; a noun masculine of the 

 third declension, in the accusative case, being the object of 

 the verb rogaverunt, which requires its object to be in the 

 accusative. 



Rogaverunt, from rogo, rogare, rogavi, rogatum, to ask ; a transi- 

 tive verb of the first conjugation, in the perfect tense, third 

 person plural, to agree with its subject columbce. 



Ut, a conjunction, which, when, as here, it signifies a contem- 

 plated result, requires its verb to be in the subjunctive mood. 



*7as, a demonstrative pronoun, referring to columboe, from is, 

 ea, id ; the accusative plural feminine genJer to agree with 

 its noun, and governed by defenderet. 



Defenderet, a transitive verb, from defendo, defendere, defendi, 

 defensum, of the third conjugation, subjunctive mood, imperfect 

 tense, third person singular number, agreeing with its subject 

 ille understood, and governed by the conjunction ut. 



Ille, from ille, ilia Mud ; a demonstrative pronoun referring to 

 accipiter, the subject to the verb annuit. 



Annuit, from annuo, annuere, annul, annutum; an intransitive 



verb of the third conjugation, in the perfect tense, indicative 

 mood, third person singular, to agree with its subject ille. 

 Annuit is made up of ad and nuo ; nuo is connected with the 

 noun nutus, a nod ; so that the exact meaning of ille annuit 

 is he nodded assent. 

 If we view the first sentence logically, it will stand thus : 



Columbee 



PREDICATE. 



Verb. Object, 



rogaveruut accipitrem. 



You thus see that milvii metu are accidental terms, terms not 

 necessary to the sentence. Ut eas defenderet is equivalent to eas 

 defendere, to defend them. Accordingly, rogo has two objects : 

 first object, accipitrem; second object, ut eas defenderet. Intho 

 grammars it is said that rogo, with other verbs of asking, governs 

 two accusatives, the one of the person, the other of the thing. 



Now in the parts thus parsed nothing occurs but what you 

 ought to know and be able to explain. Nay, more than this, 

 you ought to be able to give the stems of the nouns and verbs. 

 At any rate, I must enjoin it on you, in the attempts which I 

 now recommend you to make in parsing, to go through every 

 noun, every tense, etc., according to the models already sup- 

 plied to go through all the parts carefully in every instance. 

 Remember, "practice makes perfect." 



Two verbs in the fable may give you some trouble, namely, 

 edidit and potuisset. Edidi, from edo, edere, edidi, 3, in the 

 perfect tense, third person singular, is, like dedit, from do, formed 

 by reduplication from the present edo. Potuisset, from the 

 irregular verb possum, potui, posse, to be able, is in the sub- 

 junctive mood, pluperfect tense, third person singular, English, 

 might liave been able, or could have done.
