EXERCISE XXXII.

Oh! best beloved society of caves,

In time past to you, whenever flying-from griefs
I courted the voiceless shadow of these recesses,
I used-to-show all troubles to you, who are wont
to hear me.

EXERCISE XXXIII.

In-truth by what-is-right even the small conquers the great,

And an inferior man the strong, in spite of his strength:

A man indeed by relying-on horsemen, is wont-tomiss his mark,

But truth at last, even if it be alone, prevails.

EXERCISE XXXIV.

The crowd shouts-applause, ill-judging through envy, Whenever the scales with unequally balanced lot Fortune at least weighs down, but especially if she dash to the ground

The man who is in office and most illustrious.

EXERCISE XXXV.

Thoughts follow thoughts, and when the first is

spent,

A second rises, which doth oft prevent

An inconvenient action;

The first being banished, reason thought it good To place a second, where the first thought stood. QUARLES.

EXERCISE XXXVI.

The grateful stork that gathereth meat,
And brings it to her elders for to eat;
And on a firre-tree high, by Boreas blown,
Gives life to those by whom she had her own.

T. HUDSON.

EXERCISE XXXVII.

He lives unhurt, avenged of all his foes,
Returns triumphant through opposing crowds,
Whose gathering numbers now obstruct his way.
WHINCOPP's Scanderbeg.

EXERCISE XXXV.

Now thought forces-on thought: but if the first

slacken,

3

At-times the after-thought (having falsified) an

opinion, if-it-be inexpedient,

Then at-length is-naturally worthy

To wield the helm of the mind, that is left-vacant.

EXERCISE XXXVI.

For instance, there has not-been-unnoticed by the stork, when carrying-off prey,

The brood perched above a pine exposed-to-thenorth-wind,

The not young brood of its parents: but being grateful,

Because it was nurtured, it supplies nourishment.

EXERCISE XXXVII.

Know that he is both alive and unhurt, and com

plete

Vengeance on his enemies has exacted, and from battle leisurely

Is returning crowned, amid a flood of people, Which having encircled him, forbids him to advance

onward.

EXERCISE XXXVIII.

Better I were distraught;

So should my thoughts be severed from my griefs: And woes, by wrong imaginations, lose

The knowledge of themselves.

King Lear.

EXERCISE XXXIX.

Our country challenges our utmost care,

And in our thoughts deserves the tenderest share: Her to a thousand friends we should prefer.

Duke of Buckingham.

EXERCISE XL.

Nought but Ocean strives:

E'en he too loves at times the blue lagoon,
And smoothes his ruffled mane beneath the moon.

BYRON'S Island.

EXERCISE XXXVIII.

Now it would be a gain to me to lose my wits, That-is if thus my soul from its associated miseries Were forsooth unyoked, and were madly diseased, Being in-no-way conscious by what evils it was possessed.

EXERCISE XXXIX.

The state indeed (is-of-necessity) a charge for all, well to have-at-heart

But especially (3 discreet) watch

It claims to meet-with: for of-a-truth, a friend We ought not to consider higher than one's country.

EXERCISE XL.

Now the Ocean alone is-in-commotion: and he-too loves

(To sleep) waveless, like a horse, in the calm Embraces (of a lagoon) at-times, where from his

neck

His mane is no-longer tossed beneath the moon's

beams.
