Hippolytus erat filius Thesei. Theseus erat rex Athenarum.

Hippolytus iuvenis pulcher erat, sed puellas non amabat; ille enim
deam Dianam colebat; haec dea amorem spernebat. Hippolytus in
templo deae habitabat; aliis iuvenibus numquam appropinquabat.
paucos amicos igitur habebat. pater eius tristis erat, quod vita filii
tam sola erat; mox etiam tristior erat, nam uxor, mater Hippolyti,
periit. Theseus alteram uxorem cepit, Phaedram nomine. Phaedra,
ubi intellexit qualis vir Hippolytus esset, eum ex urbe agere
volebat.

A sea monster causes Hippolytus death
multos dies Hippolytus iter per agros faciebat. deinde ad viam

dirum clamorem faciens. equi tam perterriti erant ut a via in saxa
currerent. quamquam iuvenis vehementer contendit ut equos
retineret, illi currum in magnum saxum traxerunt. Hippolytus e
curru ad terram decidit. quod lora circum corpus eius erant, equi
iuvenem procul traxerunt. tandem corpus tot vulnera habuit ut
nemo Hippolytum agnoscere posset. ita accidit id quod Phaedra

question that follows.
What have you to do with us, wicked schoolmaster, hated by boys and girls alike? The
crested cockerels have not yet broken the silence and you are already thundering on with
your cruel continuous roaring and beatings. Bronze echoes just as loudly as you when the
anvil is struck, and the shouting rages more gently in the amphitheatre when the supporters
cheer on the winning gladiator. We, the neighbours, do not ask to sleep all night. It is a small
matter to stay awake, but serious to stay awake all night. Dismiss your pupils. Are you willing
to receive as much to be quiet, chatterbox, as you do to shout?

Read the speech below made by a British leader and answer the questions that follow.
Once each tribe had one king, now two are inflicted on us the governor to take out his
anger on our lives, the procurator on our property. The agents of one, his centurions, and
those of the other, his slaves, combine violence and insults against us. In war the braver
men take the spoils, but now it is cowards and weaklings that rob our homes, kidnap our
children and conscript our men.
But what a tiny handful of invaders they are, if only we count up our own numbers! The
Germans threw off their yoke and they had only a river, not the ocean to protect them. We
have our country, our wives and our parents to fight for. The Romans have nothing but greed
and extravagance. They will return home, as Julius Caesar returned home, if only we can
equal the bravery of our ancestors.

Roscius in maxima villa cum filio fideli habitabat. haec villa erat in parvo
oppido prope Romam. circum villam iacebant multae aliae villae minores,
quas possidebat Roscius. cum Roscius divitissimus civium esset, erant
nonnulli qui ei magnopere invidebant. inter quos erant duo pauperes,
Magnus et Capito, qui villas sibi habere adeo cupiebant ut Roscium
interficere constituerent.
Magnus et Capito exspectabant dum ille Romam proficisceretur; tum
Magnus eum ad urbem secutus est. Roscius ad cenam a nobilibus
quibusdam invitatus est. Magnus, hoc cognito, ad eandem domum
contendit, sed in via manebat, ut insidias pararet. media nocte Roscius,
domo egressus, per viam obscuram solus ambulare coepit. subito
Magnus tam vehementer eum gladio oppugnavit, ut Roscius ad terram
mortuus decideret. Magnus, quod sciebat se tenebris celatum esse, non
timebat ne quis se conspexisset. statim servum ad oppidum misit, qui
Capitoni nuntiaret quid accidisset. postridie Capito filium Roscii parricidii
accusavit.
