CHAPTER 32
Practice and Review (p. 220-21)
At first those three laughable men were able to endure bravely not even moderate things.
We especially asked how much help the seven women would bring and whether they would soon help us..
With the weapons finally having been gathered together, the commander promised that ten thousands of soldiers [= ten thousand soldiers] would depart very quickly.
You (pl.) wish to confer equal benefits, therefore, on all worthy men.
Let them better expose these evil things in order that they may not lose their own wealth and honors.
But, mind you, we wish to learn why his words were so harsh.
Since the others have learned about this plot, he/she wishes to go into exile as quickly as possible.
Do many pupils always display so great eagerness that they are able to read these sentences very easily in one year?
Although he/she had lost his/her wealth and did not have one as, nevertheless all citizens used especially to praise his/her talent and character.
We will certainly do more and better things by fair laws than by the sword.
Your (s.) eyes are more beautiful than the stars of the sky, my girl, and your kisses, sweeter than wine.
That [cursed] enemy, coming into Italy with many elephants, spent very many days in the mountains.
Visne/vultisne vivere diutius meliusque?
Vult loqui quam sapientissime ut sibi celerrime cedant.
His consiliis cognitis, rogavimus cur parare exercitum maxima cum cura non voluisset.
Ille, qui humillimus erat, divitias habere tam acriter nunc vult ut amittere duos amicos optimos velit.

Teachers give cookies to boys in order that they may want to learn the first elements.

The Character of Cimon
Cimon quickly arrived at the highest honors. For he had enough eloquence, the highest liberality, great knowledge of laws and military science, because he had been with his father in armies from childhood. And so this man very easily held the urban population in his power and was very strong among the army in authority.
When that man had died, the Athenians grieved for him for a long time; not only in war, however, but also in peace they missed him gravely. For he was a man of so great liberality that, although he had many gardens, he never placed guards in them; for he wished that his gardens be open most freely in order that the people not be kept from these fruits. Often, moreover, when he saw some one less well dressed, he gave his cloak to him. He enriched very many men; he buried many poor dead men at his own expense. Thus it is least of all strange if, on account of the character of Cimon, his life was untroubled and his death was bitter to all.
(Nepos, Cimon)

You recite nothing and you, Mamercus, wish to seem a poet.
Be whatever you want, provided that you recite nothing.
