etsi non auctor necis, at conscius fuit homo quod crebro videt non miratur, etiamsi cur fiat nescit Caesar, etiamsi non is esset, qui est, tamen ornandus videretur eloquentiae studendum est, etsi ea quidam perverse abutuntur id quoque possum ferre, quamquam injurium est quamvis occultetur flagitium, honestum tamen nullo modo fieri potest 20) Pollio amat nostram, quamvis est rustica, Musam ut desint vires, tamen est laudanda voluntas non magnus pumilio est, licet in monte constiterit fabā Pythagorei utique abstinuere, quasi vero eo cibo mens, non venter, infletur (G.) 1)I-grant-it certainly if you-ask hearken to-a-few-words, if not troublesome if all-things happen by-fate, nothing can warn us to-beware you-must combat, unless you-yield I-shall-never think you are-come late, if you-are-come safe I-deliver to-you the kingdom strong, if you-will-be good: if bad, weak I-could not imitate the speeches of-Thucydides, did I-wish, nor perhaps would-I-wish if I-could I-should-not be-able to-live, if I-lived-not in literature more would-have-fallen, had-not night interrupted the battle 10) I-would-not have-borne it, were-we not here in your kingdom truth, though it-is not pleasant, is yet welcome to-me will you-do this, however base it-be? although glory have nothing in it to be-desired, yet it-follows virtue as its-shadow live with men as-though God saw-you speak with God as-if men heard-you NOTE. Quamvis in Cicero takes the Subjunctive: poets, and sometimes historians, admit the Indicative. §15.] Mood in Suboblique and Virtually Suboblique Clauses. (1) Subordinate to Accusative and Infinitive. (2) Subordinate to Conjunctive Mood. (3) Subordinate to Indicative Mood expressing the thought of some other than the narrator. EXERCISES. A. (1) Solon dicebat neminem, dum viveret, beatum haberi posse, quod omnes ad ultimam usque diem ancipiti fortunae obnoxii essent Tullia dixit: si sibi eum, quo digna esset, dii dedissent virum, domi se regnum visuram fuisse, quod apud patrem videat Platoni placet esse divinius, quod ipsum ex se sua sponte moveatur, quam quod pulsu moveatur alieno Regulus sententiam ne diceret recusavit; quamdiu jurejurando hostium teneretur, non esse se senatorem (2) rex imperavit ut quae bello opus essent pararentur tanta est caritas patriae, ut vestris etiam legionibus sanctus essem, quod eam a me servatam esse meminissent equidem illud molior ut mihi Caesar concedat ut absim, quum aliquid in senatu contra Gnaeum agatur Caesar hortatus est milites ne ea quae accidissent graviter ferrent: quod si esset factum detrimentum, in bonum verteret, uti ad Gergoviam accidisset (3) sapiens non dubitat, si ita melius sit, migrare de vita Darius ejus pontis, dum ipse abesset, custodes reliquit in Hispania prorogatum veteribus imperatoribus est imperium cum exercitibus quos haberent Fabio dicta dies est, quod legatus in Gallos pugnasset (A.) (1) you say-that, since there-is a mortal nature, there-must be also an immortal Aristotle says that-certain little-animals are-born at the river Hypanis, which live one day Ariovistus replied: If he-himself had-wanted anything of Caesar, he would-have come to him: if he (Caesar) wanted anything of him, he ought to-come to him' Hannibal believed Scipio to-be an excellent-captain on the very-ground, that he-had-been chosen specially as-commander against himself (2) the Suevi proclaimed that all, who could carry arms, shouldmeet in one place mind you-do-not take-it ill, when you-do-not desire to-become good, that nobody loves you if you-have-done good to-a-friend, be-not sorry to-have-doneit but rather be-ashamed if you-have-not done-it the war waged at Mutina ensued: in which, if I-called Atticus prudent only, I-should-declare less than I-ought (3) the frogs sent to Jupiter asking-for another king, since hewho had-been given was useless Panaetius used-to-praise Africanus for being self-denying Titus, recollecting once that he-had-done no good to-anyone all day, said: Friends, I-have-lost a day he-vowed a temple to-Jupiter, if he-routed the enemy that day NOTE 1.-If a Clause in Suboblique position expresses the narrator's statement or thought, not that of another, it stands in the Indicative: as, (1) Caesar Helvetios in fines suos, unde profecti erant, reverti jussit. NOTE 2.-The Indicative is also found in Suboblique position, when a Relative Clause is immediately correlative to a Demonstrative Pronoun: as, eloquendi vis efficit ut ea, quae ignoramus, discere, et ea, quae scimus, alios docere possimus. These will be any words which the Adjuncts of the Verb may receive as Adjuncts to themselves: as, perquam avidē, multas oves, magnum terrorem, pastoribus Africae, unguibus acutis, etc. NOTE 1.-Such enlargement may be variously increased, especially by means of Participles with Cases, Prepositions with Cases, and Conjunctions annexing several Attributes, Apposites, Cases, etc. Leo, mirae magnitudinis bellua, ceteris omnibus vi excellens, silva antroque mediā nocte relictis, ad praedandum ruens, et terrorem inferens pastoribus, permultas oves, vorandi causā, ore et unguibus avidissimē rapit. NOTE 2.-When the learner is farther advanced, he will find that the Relations of Latin words in a simple sentence may be treated as eight in number, namely: The Vocative Case, and Interjections, are 'extra sententiam': but an Inerjection is often used when a Verb is implied, thus forming a sentence. |
