 ancient tribe, the Ausones, who were said to have inhabited it.

 of the Capitol, whom the people refrained from putting to death 

 while he was in sight of the scene of his bravery. 



32. Jam nunquam, never more. 



33. Quirini. Romulus, the founder of Borne, was worshipped

The next extract is taken from an elegy embodying the com- 

 plaints of an ill-used walnut- treo : 



OVID. "Nux, ELEGIA," 1 20. 

 Nux ego juncta viso, cum aim sine crimino vitce, 



A popnlo saxia prseterennto petor. 

 Obruere ista aolet manifestos poena nocentes, 



Publica cum Icntam non capit ira moraru. 

 Nil ego peccavi ; nisi si peccare vidotnr, 5 



Annua cnltori poraa referre auo. 

 At prius arboribus, turn, cum meliora fnere 



Tempora, certamen fertilitatia erat. 

 Cum domini memorea sertis ornare solebant 



Agricolas, fructu provoniente, decs. 10 



Srepo tuas igitur, Liber, miratus es uvaa; 



Mirata est oleas ssepo Minerva suas. 

 Pomaque liesisaent matrem ; ni subdka ramo 



Longa laboranti furoa tulisset opem. 

 At postquam platanis, aterilem prtebentibna umbram, 15 



Uberior quavis arboro venit honos ; 

 Nos quoque frupiferte (si nux modo ponor in illis) 



Coepimus in patulas luxuriarc comas. 

 Nunc ncque continues naacuntur poma per anuos ; 



Uvaque laeea domum, loaeaquo bacca vonit. 20

 heroines of tho ancient Greek mythology. Tho following is tfaa 

 commencement of tho address of tho nymph (Enono to the shep- 

 herd Paris, who had deserted her for the superior charms of 

 Helen. Our readers will probably recollect that the same ob- 

 ject ia beautifully treated by Tennyson in his poem of "CEnone."

Ista Myoenaca litcra facta manu. 

 Pegasia CEnone, Phrygiis celeberrima sylvis,

 Leniter, ex merito quidquid patiaro, ferend^m est; 



Qua) venit indignss pocna, dolenda vt: 

 Nondnm tantus eras, cum te contenta marito

How much further. Catiline, are yon going to insult our forbear- 

 ance P How long will this mad folly of yoors continue to escape our 

 vengeance ? What limit shall bound the reckless course of your on- 

 bridled audacity ? The Palatine guarded by night, sentries posted in

 our senate houM most strongly defended, eras the very look* and
