PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. 
 
 IT has been suggested to the Author from various quarters, 
 and by persons whose opinion he is bound to respect, that 
 the peculiar plan of this little work has hitherto circum- 
 scribed its usefulness; the references to Dr. Kennedy's 
 Latin Grammar having had the effect of limiting its sale 
 to those schools where that grammar is in use. To obviate 
 this defect, he has prefixed to the present edition (with Dr. 
 Kennedy's kind permission) such passages of the Accidence 
 and Syntax of his grammar as are referred to in the text 
 of the Exercises; and he has also re-written the Prosody, 
 which it is hoped will be found, though brief, yet complete 
 and comprehensive. By this means the Author hopes that 
 his little work will gain admission into many schools from 
 which it is at present excluded by the above-mentioned 
 deficiency. 
 
 The Author also begs to mention that the " Second Series' 1 
 of these Exercises will be immediately published, and that 
 it will have prefixed to it a brief Grammar of Latin Poetry, 
 on a plan which, he believes, has not been hitherto adopted 
 in any work of the present day, except his recently published 
 ' Hints on Latin Writing/'

 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION, 
 
 HAVING been informed by my publishers that a second 
 edition of this work has been called for, I have carefully 
 corrected those errors which I have been able to detect in 
 the first impression, and hope that its usefulness will be 
 thereby increased.

PREFACE. 
 
 THE present attempt to simplify for beginners the Art 
 of Latin Versification has arisen from a sense of the 
 great want of such a book for the use of the Lower and 
 Middle Forms of a Public School, and I have now 
 attempted to supply this want by a series of Progressive 
 Exercises in Latin Elegiac Verse, which have been 
 already tried and tested by my Pupils not, I trust, 
 wholly without success. The plan on which I have 
 proceeded, is most simple. References have been made 
 throughout the whole Work, pointing to the various 
 sections of Dr. Kennedy's Latin Grammar, by which 
 almost every difficulty will be elucidated , and in the 
 Third Part I have added at the foot of the page refer- 
 ences to passages of the best Latin Poets, where either 
 the words or construction intended to be used will 
 readily be found. I have begun with the most ele- 
 mentary parts of a verse; and proceeding from them 
 to longer portions, both of Hexameters and Pentame- 
 ters, I have followed them up with a long series of 
 Elegiac Couplets, as introductory to the Exercises 
 which constitute the main part of the Volume. It is 
 intended that these Exercises should become less easy 
 AS the Pupil advances further into the book ; and this 
 has been effected in two ways : first, by gradually with- 
 
 A s 
 
VI PRLFACE. 
 
 drawing the copious references to the Rules of the Latin 
 Grammar ; and, secondly, by presenting the Pupil with 
 more free and idiomatic English for translation. 
 
 The advantages of insuring constant reference to the 
 Latin Grammar, which is in the Pupil's hands, are too 
 obvious to need being enforced by argument. It will 
 be enough to say that this little Work, while it so far 
 facilitates the composition of verses as to save beginners 
 from discouragement, will be found to assist and favour 
 industry, and that.it will force those who make use of it, 
 even against their will, to become in some degree prac- 
 tically acquainted with the Rules of Syntax, which can- 
 not be too often applied to Composition, even in the 
 Higher Forms of a Public School. 
 
 It remains that I acknowledge with many thanks the 
 valuable assistance and contributions which I have 
 received from the Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Head Master of 
 Shrewsbury School ; the Rev. Dr.Welldon, Head Master 
 of Tunbridge School ; the Rev. O. Walford, Second 
 Master of Charter House ; Edwin Palmer, Esq., and 
 James Riddell, Esq., Fellows of Balliol College, Oxford, 
 together with many others, 
 
 " doctos ego quos et aniicos 
 
 Prudens praetereo." 
 
 I can only add, that any suggestions as to the cor- 
 rection and improvement of this little Work will be 
 gratefully received, as the Author's sole desire is to be 
 instrumental in fostering cultivated taste and accuracy 
 of scholarship in the art of Latin Verse Composition,

PROSODY. 
 
 PROSODY treats of (I.) the Quantity of Syllables* 
 and (II.) of the Laws of Metre. 
 
 1. Every syllable takes up a certain time in its pro- 
 nunciation ; this is called its quantity or measure; and 
 according to its time, each syllable in Latin is marked 
 as either long (-) or short (^). 
 
 Obs. 1. One such long syllable is equivalent to two 
 ehort ones. 
 
 Obs. 2. Some syllables are common ; t. e. may be 
 used as either long or short (-). 
 
 Obs. 3. H is not counted as a letter in Prosody. 
 
 All verse consists of Metres, or, (as they are more 
 commonly called,) Feet. 
 
 The only feet used in Elegiac Verse are the Dactyl 
 and Spondee. 
 
 A Dactyl is a foot consisting of one long and two 
 short syllables ; as, pectore. 
 
 A Spondee is a foot consisting of two such long 
 syllables; as, ventos. 
 
 (Obs.) Hence a dactyl is equivalent to a spondee; 
 that is to say, its pronunciation occupies an equal space 
 of time. 
 
 2. An Hexameter is a verse containing six dactylic 
 feet a Pentameter contains five such feet. Elegiac Verse 
 is that in which hexameters and pentameters are ar- 
 ranged alternately. Their structure is esentially dac- 
 tylic; though a spondee is admissible throughout, as 
 equivalent to the dactyl, except in the fifth foot of the 
 
Vlll PROSODY. 
 
 hexameter, and the latter half of the pentameter. Sub- 
 joined is a scale of the metre : 
 
 Blanda qufcs vicltis fur|tim subjrepit o|cellis, 
 Et cadit j a men|to || languida j facta ma|tms. 
 
 Ovid. Fast. iii. 19, 
 
 In other words, the fifth foot in an hexameter must 
 always be a dactyl, and the sixth always a spondee; 
 while in a pentameter, the third and fourth feet must 
 always be dactyls, the fifth foot being divided into two 
 long syllables, one of which closes the former, and the 
 other the latter half of the verse. 
 
 Quantity. A. Non-final Syllable*. 
 
 3. R. G. i. Every diphthong and contracted syllable 
 is long ; as tztas. 
 
 R. G. ii. Derivatives follow the quantity of their 
 primitives. 
 
 (Obs.) But hwmanus from homo, arena from wreo, 
 l&cerna from luceo. 
 
 R. G. iii. Compound words follow the quantity of 
 their simples. 
 
 (0&s.) Except a few; as, pronwba from nSbo. 
 
 R. G. iv. One vowel before another is short, e. g. 
 Drue, rmhi. 
 
 Obs. 1. Except some Greek words; as, Chzus, ^Eneas. 
 
 2. Genitives of first and fifth declension ; a, 
 terrai, diei. 
 
 3. Vocatives of second declension ; as, Poinpei, 
 Cai. 
 
 4. The, i in fio* except before er. 
 
PROSODY. IX 
 
 6. The z is common in Diana, and in uwus, 
 tottus, nullfus, &c. (but altenus). 
 
 R. G. v. A vowel before two consonants, or a double 
 consonant, (as x or z,)'is long; e. g. wrget, rexi. 
 
 Note. Short vowels, when placed before a mute and 
 a liquid, become common ; as, pater, patris : but long 
 vowels are never shortened in such a case ; as, mater, 
 matris, not matris. 
 
 R. G. vi. The first syllable of a reduplicate perfect is 
 ^hort ; as, pqnili. 
 
 R. G. vii. Dissyllable perfects are long ; as, movi. 
 (Except bZbi, doli, fidi, steti, twli, scidi.) 
 
 R. G. viii. Dissyllable supines are long; as, v?sum. 
 (Except itum, cltum, datum, Ktum, ratum, rut um, 
 stftum, sztum.) 
 
 B. Final Syllables. 
 
 4. Rule i. Most monosyllables are long. 
 
 Obs. Except those in 1, b, d, t, and &, f#c, ^n, m, 
 c er, per, t^r, v?r, cor, quafs, bis, Is ; and the enclitics, -n, 
 -\e, and -que. 
 
 Rule li. Final a is long; as, frustra. 
 
 (Obs.) Except in nominatives and accusatives; as, 
 regna, musa, and in the word quid 
 
 Rule iii. Final e is short ; as, leg& 
 
 (Obs.) Except in first and fifth declensions, adverbs, 
 and the imperatives of second conjugation. (But bene, 
 male, rite.) 
 
 Rule iv. Final i is long ; as, mult?. 
 
 (Obs.) Except in Greek datives and vocatives, in 
 nisz and quasi, and the following, (which have the i 
 common,) ibi, ulri, mihi, tibi, sibL 
 
 Rule v. Final o is long; as, magntf. 
 
 A5 
 
X PROSODY. 
 
 (Obs.) Modo is short, and the final o in verbs and 
 substantives is sometimes shortened by a poetic licence; 
 but it is very inelegant, and scarcely ever to be followed 
 in this book. 
 
 Rule vi. Final u is long ; as, gradw. 
 
 Rulo vii. Final y is short. 
 
 ( Ota.) Any final vowel, or diphthong, may be cut off 
 or elided before another word commencing with a vowel ; 
 e. y. Mus<e aberant mus'== aberant. 
 
 Kule viii. Final syllables ending in c are long, except 
 donee. 
 
 Rule ix. /, d, t, are short. 
 
 Rule x. TZ and r are short, except Greek deri- 
 vatives; as, aer. 
 
 Rule xi. cts are long, except Greek nominatives 
 
 which increase short. Pallas -adis. 
 
 Rule xii. es are long, except those formed from 
 
 the Greek -s$, and those of the third 
 declension which increase short ; as, 
 sosp&, it is. 
 
 Rule xiii. is are short, except datives and abla- 
 tives, and the second person sing, of 
 the fourth conjugation. 
 
 Rule xiv. on are long ; as magnos : except those 
 
 derived from the Grejk -o$, and the 
 words compos and os. 
 
 Rule xv. us are short ; as, tempz/s : except the 
 
 nominative, genitive, and accusative of 
 the fourth declension, and the nomina- 
 tive of the third where it increases 
 long; as, virtw* 
 
PROSODY. Jti 
 
 5. The following rules should be remembered: 
 
 Obs. a. An hexameter should end with a word of 
 two or of three syllables. 
 
 j3. A pentameter should end with a word of two 
 syllables, which should always be a substantive 
 or a verb, or some case of the possessive pro- 
 nouns, meus, twis, and suns. 
 
 y. No word ending with a short vowel should 
 precede a word beginning with the consonants 
 sc, sp 9 or st 
 
 5. A dactyl should generally be chosen for the 
 first foot, especially of the pentameter; not 
 more than one verse in six should begin with 
 a spondee, nor more than one pentameter in 
 eight or even ten lines. 
 
 . If possible, let the more emphatic and im- 
 portant words hold the first and last places in 
 every verse. 
 
 !J. The last syllable in each verse is common, but 
 should not be shortened too frequently, espe- 
 cially in the pentameter. 
 
 Note. The three nrst of the above rules are never to 
 be violated in this series. 
 
 6. i. The hexameter must contain one caesura at 
 least after the second or third foot ; i. e. a long syllable, 
 or a long syllable followed by a short one, must stand 
 over into the next foot. Of these, the latter is called 
 the weak caesura, and should be introduced sparingly ; as, 
 
 1. Blanda quies vie|fr* fur|ft'm subrepit occllis. 
 
 2. Utile sit fa,us\tumque pre|cor quod imagine somni. 
 
 Ovid. Fast. iii. 27 
 
Xll PROSODY. 
 
 ii. The pentameter must have a caesura after the 
 econd foot ; as, 
 
 Et cadit a men | to || languid a facta manus. 
 
 7. A monosyllable may, however, stand as caesura, 
 either in the hexameter or pentameter, if it is preceded 
 by another monosyllable, or by a word consisting of 
 two short syllables, or of two syllables the latter of 
 which suffers elision. As, 
 
 Risit et o quam j te fallunt tua saecula dixit. Ovid. Fast. i. 191. 
 
 Qui melius per | ver || incipiendus erat. Ibid. 150. 
 Hie ubi nunc Fora | sunt, lintres errare videres. Ibid. ii. 391. 
 
 Saepe tibi pater | est || saepe legendus avus. Ibid. i. 10. 
 Denique quodcunlque est quo pectora nostra pientur. Ibid. ii. 29 
 
 Lucidior vilsa est || quam fuit ante domus. Ibid. i. 96. 
 
 8. The sentence, when completed, should never ex- 
 ceed two lines in length : the couplet, may, indeed, 
 contain one, two, or three such sentences ; but no part 
 of one sentence should be allowed to stand over into the 
 next couplet. 
 
 9. It will be advisable, as a general rule, to bring 
 into each verse, if possible, a majority of dactyls : except 
 where the sense requires a more staid and spondaic 
 flow in the words of Horace, 
 
 Tardior ut paullo graviorque veniret ad aures, 
 
 Spondeos stabiles recepit. A. P. 255. 
 
 An example may be found by referring to Ovid. 
 Fast. i. 57 60; and many others might be easily 
 adduced. 
 
 10. A scholar of refined taste and keen ear, who is 
 well acquainted with the writings of Ovid, will doubt- 
 less have persuaded himself that he has detected in them 
 a marked preference for a Rhyming, either of sound or 
 
I'UOSODY. Xlil 
 
 of sense. It would be hardly worth while to notice 
 this, but that the contrary has sometimes been asserted. 
 But, not to mention the close analogy which exists be- 
 tween the Elegiac couplet and the poetry of the Book 
 of Psalms wherein the latter clause of each verse 
 either simply repeats, in other words, the idea already 
 expressed in the former clause ; or else re-echoes it, with 
 the addition of some new idea ; or contrasts it in some 
 marked antithesis, and thus presents, as it were, a 
 Rhyme of sense it seems that Ovid particularly de- 
 lighted in a constant recurrence of Rhymes of sound, 
 more or less perfect, both in his Hexameters and Pen- 
 tameters. 
 
 For example, let any sound scholar carefully examine 
 the following lines, taken at random from the first page 
 of Ovid's best work, and he will doubtless allow that 
 this recurrence of a rhyme, so far from being censured 
 or discouraged, is really to be regarded as an orna- 
 ment and a merit, (provided it be not servilely adopted 
 to the exclusion of other lines,) and in accordance with 
 the true spirit of Latin Elegiac poetry.

EXTRACTS FROM KENNEDY'S LATIN GRAMMAR, 
 
 To which Reference is made in the following Exercises: 
 
 ACCIDENCE. 
 
 Section. 
 
 14. (Obs.) Some nouns of the 1st declension take urn instead of arum 
 in pi. gen., as coelicolae, -colwra. 
 
 17. Pallas, adis (fern.). Pallas, an tis (Masc.) 
 
 29. Some adjectives form their comparatives and superlatives irre- 
 gularly; as, magnus, major, maximus. 
 
 31. The numerals from t/uatuor to centum, inclusive, are indeclinable. 
 
 ^5. Note 2. The Subj. Present is often used for the Imperative Mood. 
 
 56. Verbs of the 3rd conjugation in io throw away i in the tenses de- 
 
 rived from the Present ; but keep it before a, o, u, and e (except 
 before er). 
 
 57. Avis may be contracted into as, and aver into ar, in the 1st conju- 
 
 gation. 
 
 Note. In the 3rd conjugation ovis, in the tenses of movi, novi, &c, 
 becomes 6s, and over becomes or. 
 
 61. Irregular imperatives, die, due, fac, fer. 
 
 62. Eo, is, ivi, ire ; subj., earn ; imper., i, ito ; part. pres. iens, euntis. 
 66. The pr<teritive verbs, odi, coepi, and memini, have only the perfect 
 
 and its derivative tenses. 
 Obs. Novi (I know}, the perfect of nosco (I notice), is used as a 
 
 prseteritive. 
 77. Dies is common in the singular; but always masculine in the 
 
 plural. 
 79. (3). Juvo, juvi, jutum ; lavo, lavi, lotum and tavatum. 
 
 SYNTAX. 
 
 -section. 
 
 102. Adjectives, participles, and pronouns agree with their substantives 
 
 in gender, number, and case. 
 
 Obs. 1. The substantives homo, fcemina, negotium are often omitted. 
 
 Obs. 2. Neuter adjectives, when used abstractedly, stand for sub- 
 stantives. 
 
 103. A verb agrees with its nominative in number and person. 
 
 Obs. An infinitive verb or an entire sentence, or an adverb, or 
 neuter adjective with a genitive case, often stands as the nomi- 
 native to a verb. 
 
 104. Obs. 1. The nominative of pronouns is rarely expressed, except for 
 
 the sake of emphasis. 
 Obs. 2. The word " homines " is often understood before verbs of 
 
 the third person plural. 
 Obs. 3. Impersonal verbs have no nominative expressed, though 
 
 they have one understood ; e. g. " tonat" it thunders, (supply 
 
SYNTAX. XV 
 
 Section. 
 
 105. Obs. 1. The verb "sum" is often omitted in all its persons. 
 
 Obs. 2. An infinitive verb often follows the nominative, the verb 
 cci'pit being understood. 
 
 106. The relative agrees with its antecedent in gender, number, and 
 
 person ; but not always in case. 
 Obs. 1. If a sentence stands as the antecedent, the relative will be 
 
 in the neuter gender. 
 Obs. 2. The antecedent is sometimes included- in a possessive 
 
 pronoun. 
 
 107. Note. Qui should be regarded as standing between two cases of 
 
 one substantive, either or both of which may be expressed. 
 
 With the former it agrees in gender and number, with the latter 
 
 in case. 
 
 Obs. 1. Both cases arc sometimes expressed ; but, 
 Obs. 2. generally the former only. 
 Obs. 3. Sometimes the latter only is expressed; and 
 Obs. 4. sometimes both are omitted. 
 
 108. R. i. By the figure called Synesis a noun of multitude in the 
 
 singular number may have a plural verb. 
 
 R. ii. Sometimes it has an adjective of a different gender or 
 number from itself. 
 
 109. R. i. Two or more singular nouns may have a plural adjective, 
 
 verb, or relative. 
 
 1 10. R. ii. If they are of different persons or genders, the adjective, 
 
 verb, or relative will agree with the more worthy. 
 
 (a) The 1st person is more worthy than the 2nd ; the 2nd than 
 
 3rd. 
 (&) The masculine gender is more worthy than the feminine ; the 
 
 feminine than the neuter, 
 (c) But if the substantives' denote things without life, the adjective 
 
 or relative will be in the neuter plural ; though, 
 (Obs.) It may agree with the nearest substantive only. 
 
 111. Copulative verbs take the same case after as before them. 
 
 112. Obs. 1. A verb, standing between two nominatives, sometimes 
 
 agrees with the latter only. 
 
 Obs. 2. A relative, placed between two substantives, often agrees 
 with the hitter only. 
 
 113. Two names of the same person or thing, in the same sentence, are 
 
 both in the same case ; but, 
 
 (Obs.) One substantive depending on another stands in the 
 genitive. 
 
 114. The acnstitive is the case of the nearer object; and all transitive 
 
 verbs govern an accusative. 
 
 115. Obs. 2. Transitive verbs which become copulatives in the passiye 
 
 (e. g. dico) take after them two accusatives. 
 
XVI SYNTAX. 
 
 Section. 
 
 116. Verbs of asking, teaching, and concealing take after them two 
 
 accusatives ; and, 
 Obs. Even in the passive they take an accusative of the thing. 
 
 117. Some neuter and passive verbs and adjectives take after them an 
 
 accusative of respect or limitation. 
 
 118. The following prepositions govern an accusative; 
 
 Ante, apud, ad, adversus, circa, circum, cis, citra contra, erga, 
 extra, infra, inter, intra, juxta, ob, penes, per, pone, post, prater, 
 prope, propter, secundum, subter, super, supra, versus, trans, 
 ultra ; as also in, and sub, with the idea of motion. 
 } 19. The vocative is generally coupled with an interjection. 
 
 Note. Some interjections, as en, ecce, heu, &c., take a nominative, 
 accusative, or vocative case ; and hei and vce, the dative. 
 
 120. B. i. The dative is the case of the remote object. 
 Obs. 1. Sum with a dative is equivalent to habeo. 
 
 Obs. 2. The dative is often elegantly used in Latin where we do 
 not use any word in English. 
 
 121. R. ii. The dative follows adjectives, adverbs, verbs, and substan- 
 
 tives which denote, fitness, belief, obedience, pleasing, &c. 
 
 122. Obs. 1. Adjectives signifying likeness, equality, connection, &c., and 
 
 their opposites, take a dative case. 
 Note. Or they are followed by a preposition with its case. 
 
 123. Obs. 2. Some adjectives denoting an affection of the mind are 
 
 followed by in, ad, and adversus, with an accusative. 
 Obs. 3. Natus, aptus, utilis are sometimes followed by ad with an 
 accusative. 
 
 124. Obs. 4. Delecto, juvo, jubeo, and others take an accusative. 
 
 Obs. 5. Tempero and moderor take either the dative or accusative. 
 
 125. K. iii. The dative follows many verbs compounded with bene, satis, 
 
 male, and with the prepositions ad, ante, ab, in, inter, de, sub, su- 
 per, ob, con, post, and pone. 
 
 (1.) Also it follows verbs transitive as a second or remote object. 
 
 (2.) And also some intransitive verbs ; e. g. to favour, believe; but 
 
 (Obs.) Some of these vary their construction and take an accu- 
 sative. 
 
 . 26. The dative stands as the case of the agent after verbal adjectives 
 in -bilis, and participles in ~dus, or gerunds in -dum; but seldom 
 after other participles or verbs. 
 
 (Obs.) The agent is generally put in the ablative with a or ab. 
 
 127. The verb sum is often followed by a dative case ; and 
 (Obs.) sometimes by two datives. 
 
 128. The genitive is either (a) subjective or (6) objective. 
 
 129. The subjective genitive denotes the author or Assessor, quality or 
 
 distribution. 
 
 130. Obs. 1. Est is sometimes followed by a genitive; the word qfficium, 
 
 &c. being understood. 
 
SYNTAX. XV11 
 
 Section. 
 
 Obs. 2. Sometimes other nouns are understood. Ad Veste (scii 
 templurn). 
 
 131. The genitive of a personal pronoun, included or understood in a 
 
 possessive, often stands in agreement with another genitivo 
 (Mea verba loquentis.} 
 
 132. The genitive of quality follows substantives and copulative verbs. 
 Obs. Quality is also expressed by the ablative. 
 
 133. Partitives take after them a genitive of the thing divided. 
 
 The genitive of distribution follows (1.) partitive adjectives and 
 pronouns; (2.) numerals, and such words as princeps, medius; 
 (3.)comparatives and superlatives ; and (4.) partitive substantives. 
 
 134. Obs. i. Distribution is sometimes expressed by the propositions, 
 
 ex, in, inter, ante, de. 
 
 135. Obs. ii. A genitive of place follows such adverbs as hue, ubicunque, 
 
 ubi. &c. 
 
 1 36. The genitive is often used in a partitive sense, after neuter adjectives 
 
 and pronouns. 
 
 137. The objective genitive follows many substantives which have a 
 
 transitive force. 
 
 138. The objective genitive follows verbals in -ax, as also participles 
 
 used as adjectives, and certain transitive adjectives. 
 
 139. A genitive follows verbs of accusing, condensing, absolving, &c. 
 
 140. Memini, recordor, &c., take an accusative or genitive. 
 
 141. Misereor and miseresco take a genitive, miseror an accusative. 
 
 142. Note. A genitive sometimes follows verbs of ceasing, acquiring. 
 
 wanting. 
 
 143. The ablative is the case which defines, limits, or qualifies the 
 
 action of the verb ; it generally signifies the cause, instrument t 
 means or manner, or matter. 
 
 144. The ablative of cause follows adjectives, verbs, and participles. 
 
 145. The ablative of the instrument follows verbs. 
 
 146. The ablative of the manner usually follows verbs. 
 
 147. a. The ablative of matter follows verbs of building, consisting, &c. 
 
 Obs. Sometimes it is joined with the prepositions ex or de. 
 b. An ablative stands after the verbs fungor,fruor, utor, vescor.

 The above Exercises, it is hoped, will have practised the 
 pupil sufficiently in the art of arranging the elementary parts 
 of a verse. It will be of much service to him if he is now 
 taught to combine these portions into complete verses. With 
 respect to Hexameters this may easily be done, by subjoin- 
 ing the examples given in Ex. IV. to those in Ex. VIL, or 
 those in Ex.V. to those in Ex. III. ; while a practical ac- 
 quaintance with Pentameters will be gained by subjoining the 
 examples given in Ex. VI. to those which the pupil has 
 already translated in Ex. III. It may be observed that in 
 the following Exercises, very frequent use has been made of 
 these elementary parts, in the construction of both Hexa- 
 meters and Pentameters.
