I Carmine currentes +ille tenebat aquas+. II Saepe, sequens agnam, +lupus est+ a voce +retentus+; III Saepe avidum fugiens +restitit agna+ lupum; IV 4 Saepe +canes leporesque+ umbra +cubuere+ sub una, V Et +stetit+ in saxo proxima +cerva+ leae: VI Et sine lite loquax cum Palladis alite +cornix+ VII +Sedit+, et accipitri +iuncta columba fuit+.

OVID, _Fasti_ ii. 83-92 (Hallam’s Edition). _Heading and Author._--The heading will probably suggest to you the well-known story of Arion and the Dolphin, and the name of the author, Ovid, will lead you to expect a beautiful version of the legend. _Read the Passage carefully._--As you read, notice all allusions that help you to the sense of the passage. Thus the first line (which you can no doubt translate at once) tells of the fame of Arion, and the succeeding lines describe the charm of his music. _The Form of the Passage: Elegiac Verse._--Scan[9] as you read, and mark the quantity in the verse of all finals in +-a+. You will see the value of this, as you translate. [Footnote 9: See Introduction, pp. 6, 7, § 10.] [[Introduction 10.

(ii.) _Translation._--This sentence contains no subordinates; the two finite verbs, +nōvit+, +nescit+, are both principal.
