(a) He advised me to spend more time on the study of
Livy's history.

(b) If fortune had favoured Hannibal, we should now per-
haps be learning the Punic tongue instead of the Latin.
(e) The Roman General promised to return the hostages if
the Spaniards would give up all their munitions of war.
(d) Sunset was near and Sulla's men were weary, but he was
determined or was compelled to fight. Giving his men
some hasty refreshment, he at once formed the line of
battle before the Colline Gate, and the last and most
desperate conflict of the civil war began. His left wing
was driven back to the city walls, and fugitives brought
word to Ofella at Præneste that the battle was lost. Sulla
himself was nearly slain. He wore in his bosom a small
golden image of Apollo, which he brought from Delphi.
He now kissed it with devotion, and prayed aloud to the

god not to allow him to fall ingloriously by the hands of his fellow-citizens, after leading him safe through so many perils to the threshold of the city. But neither courage nor superstition availed him against the fury of the Samnite onset. For the first time in his life Sulla was beaten, and either retreated into Rome or maintained a desperate struggle close to the walls during the night. 2. Translate into English

His rebus celeriter administratis ipse, cum primum per anni tempus potuit, ad exercitum contendit. Veneti reliquaeque item civitates cognito Caesaris adventu certiores facti, simul quod, quantum in se facinus admisissent, intellegebant, legatos, quod nomen ad omnes nationes sanctum inviolatumque semper fuisset, retentos ab se et in vincula coniectos, pro magnitudine periculi bellum parare maxime ea, quae ad usum navium pertinent, providere instituunt, hoc maiore spe, quod multum natura loci confidebant. Pedestria esse itinera concisa aestuariis, navigationem impeditam propter inscientiam locorum paucitatemque portuum sciebant, neque nostros exercitus. propter frumenti inopiam diutius apud se morari posse confidebant: ac iam ut omnia contra opinionem acciderent, tamen se plurimum navibus posse, Romanos neque ullam facultatem habere navium neque eorum locorum, ubi bellum gesturi essent, vada, portus, insulas novisse; ac longe aliam esse navigationem in concluso mari atque in vastissimo atque apertissimo Oceano perspiciebant.

Thus Cyrus learned that Croesus was a good man and dear
to the gods: and, causing him to descend from the pyre, he
questioned him thus:-"Croesus, who of men persuaded
you to invade my land and make me your enemy instead
of
your friend?" And he replied, "O King, I acted thus
for thy happiness indeed, but for my own misery: and the
cause thereof was the god of the Greeks, who roused me
to the invasion. For no one is so foolish as to choose war
before peace for in this, children bury their fathers, but
in that, fathers their children. But as for my fate, per-
chance it was God's will, that it should befall.”
