8. In Euripides, where are the poet's own views to be found?

9. Mr. Mahaffy mentions two choral odes of Euripides that strike him as being peculiarly Pindaric?

10. What are the signs of Euripides' later style?

II. "The love of husband and wife was rarely idealised by the Greeks, and these grand exceptions are worthy of especial note." What exceptions?

12. What is "the most advanced and modern feature in the literature of the Periclean age"?

13. Some of the scholiasts say Euripides wrote parabases. What do they mean, and what do they refer to ?

14.

ὁ δ ̓ εὔκολος μὲν ἐνθάδ' εὔκολος δ ̓ ἐκεῖ.

By whom and of whom is this said?

15. State Porson's rule of the pause; and give the four exceptions.

MR. MAHAFFY.

Translate into Greek Prose :

There is no achievement of Hannibal more remarkable than his passage of the Rhone. Those who have seen this river know that it is a very mountain torrent, the sum of a hundred smaller torrents, which has carried away a whole country side to its mouth, and altered the whole geography of the coast in no great number of centuries. At all seasons of the year the torrent is violent, but in late autumn it must have been a river perhaps more difficult than the Rhine for an army to cross. And yet Hannibal conveyed even his elephants over it without loss, and apparently without great delay. Indeed at the moment delay would have been fatal.

The extreme sensibility of Voltaire to the slightest censure of the same kind is well known to everybody. The Dunciad of Mr. Pope is an everlasting monument of how much the most correct, as well as the most elegant and harmonious, of all the English poets, had been hurt by the criticisms of the lowest and most contemptible authors. Gray (who joins to the sublimity of Milton the elegance and harmony of Pope, and to whom nothing is wanting to render him, perhaps, the first poet in the English language, but to have written a little more) is said to have been so much hurt by a foolish and impertinent parody of two of his finest odes, that he never afterwards attempted any considerable work. Those men of letters, who value themselves upon what is called fine writing in prose, approach somewhat to the sensibility of poets.-SMITH.

Translate into Latin Verse :—

Friendship, begun in unexperienced youth,
In honour founded, and secured by truth,
In distant climes and various fortunes tried,
Not death, the grand destroyer, can divide.
True to thy honest fame, which long shall live,
This last just tribute to thy worth I give :
A humour pleasing, and a wit refined,
Knowledge and judgment clear, enriched your mind;
In you to full perfection met the powers
Which sweeten and adorn the social hours.
In Fancy's flowery gardens when you strayed,
If you invoked the Muse she gave her aid:
Nor covetous nor negligent of fame,

You've gained a fair-deserved a lasting name.

POPE.

Translate into Greek Verse:

Lycius. Sure some sweet name thou hast; though, by my truth, I have not asked it, ever thinking thee

Not mortal, but of heavenly progeny-
As still I do. Hast any mortal name
Fit appellation for this dazzling frame?

Or friends of kinsfolk on the citied earth,

To share our marriage feast and nuptial mirth?

Lamia. I have no friends, no kindred; no, not one;

My presence in wide Corinth hardly known;

My parents' bones are in their dusty urns,
Sepulchred where no kindled incense burns;
Seeing all their luckless race are dead, save me,
And I neglect the holy rite for thee.

Even as you list, invite your many guests;
But if, as now it seems, your vision rests
With any pleasure on me, do not bid
Old Apollonius, from him keep me hid.
