JULY, 1878.

Latin Elegiacs.

So long as you are fortunate, you will count many friends;
If the times have been cloudy, you will be alone.

Do you see how doves come to shining roofs,

(And how) a gloomy tower receives no birds?

To empty granaries ants never come.

No friend will go to wealth that-is-lost.

And as companion to-those-going through the sun's rays (their) shadow is,

When he, oppressed with clouds, is hid, that flies;

So the fickle vulgar follows fortune's glittering-rays

And as soon as they are covered, a cloud being-drawnover, goes away.

1. Numero. 2. nubilus.

3. aspicio, ut. 4. sordidus.

5. horreum. formica. tendo. 8. premo. 9. mobilis. lumen. 10. obduco.

If as often as men sin, his bolts sends

Jupiter, in brief time he will be weaponless.

When he has thundered and terrified with the sound the world
He restores the clear sky, the waters being driven away.

Of right therefore both father of gods and ruler is he called
Of right the spacious universe has nought greater than

Jove.
