SECTION A: Translation of Latin Prose


QUESTION ONE

Translate into English. Write your translation on alternate lines.



Against the Morini and the Menapii

Caesar leads an expedition against the Morini and the Menapii;
they withdraw into their woods and swamps, from which they make an attack

Eodem fere tempore Caesar, etsi prope exacta

iam aestas erat, tamen quod omni Gallia pacata Morini Menapiique super erant qui in armis essent neque ad eum umquam legatos de pace misissent, arbitratus id bellum celeriter confici posse, eo exercitum adduxit. Qui longe alia ratione ac reliqui Galli bellum gerere coeperunt. Nam
quod intellegebant maximas nationes, quae proelio contendissent, pulsas superatasque esse, continentesque silvas ac paludes habebant, eo se suaque omnia contulerunt. Ad quarum initium silvarum cum Caesar pervenisset castraque munire instituisset neque hostis interim visus esset, dispersis in opere nostris subito ex omnibus
partibus silvae evolaverunt et in nostros impetum fecerunt.

Nostri celeriter arma ceperunt eosque in silvas

reppulerunt et compluribus interfectis longius impeditioribus

locis secuti paucos ex suis deperdiderunt.



Caesar, de bello Gallico III.28

QUESTION ONE

The sack of Troy: how Deiphobus died

Deiphobus, the husband of Helen after Paris died, was betrayed by Helen to the Greeks and killed;
in the Underworld his soul tells Aeneas what happened


namque ut supremam falsa inter gaudia noctem egerimus, nosti: et nimium meminisse necesse est. cum fatalis equus saltu super ardua venit
Pergama et armatum peditem gravis attulit alvo, illa chorum simulans euhantes orgia circum ducebat Phrygias; flammam media ipsa tenebat ingentem et summa Danaos ex arce vocabat.
tum me confectum curis somnoque gravatum infelix habuit thalamus, pressitque iacentem dulcis et alta quies placidaeque simillima morti. egregia interea coniunx arma omnia tectis emovet, et fidum capiti subduxerat ensem: intra tecta vocat Menelaum et limina pandit, scilicet id magnum sperans fore munus amanti, et famam exstingui veterum sic posse malorum.




Virgil, Aeneid VI. 513-527
