Latin. — Optional for Class D and Junior and Senior Civil Service. Time allowed: 3 hours. 1. Translate, — (a.) Pleraque eorum quae rettuli quaeque referam, parva forsitan et levia memoratu videri non nescius sum : sed nemo annales nostros cum scriptura eorum contenderit, gui veteres populi Eomani res composuere. Ingentia illi bella, expugnationes urbium, fusos captosque reges, aut si quando ad interna praeverterent, discordias consulum adversum tribunos, agrarias frumentariasque leges, plebis et optimatium certamina memorabant. Nobis in arcto et inglorius labor : immota quippe aut modice lacessita pax, maestae urbis res, et princeps proferendi imperil incuriosus erat. Non tamen sine usu fuerit introspicere ilia, primo aspect!! levia, ex quibus magnarum saepe rerum motus oriuntur. (b.) Colle sub aprico creberrimus ilice lucus Stabat, et in ratnis multa latebat avis, Area gramineo suberat viridissima prato, Humida de guttis lene sonantis aquae. Ipse sub arboreis vitabam frondibus aestum, Fronde sub arborea sed tamen aestus erat. Ecce, petens variis immixtas floribus herbas, Constitit ante oculos Candida vaoca meos ; Candidior nivibus, tune quum cecidere recentes, In liquidas nondum quas mora vertit aquas. 2—E. la.
