'Festinate, viri: nam quae tam sera moratur Segnities? alii rapiunt incensa feruntque Pergama: vos celsis nunc primum a navibus itis?' Dixit; et extemplo-neque enim responsa dabantur Fida satis-sensit medios delapsus in hostes. Obstupuit, retroque pedem cum voce repressit. Improvisum aspris veluti qui sentibus anguem Pressit humi nitens, trepidusque repente refugit Attollentem iras, et caerula colla tumentem: Haud secus Androgeüs visu tremefactus abibat.” 3. Parse fully

amplexae, coactis, concidebant, extruso, latentem, licere, reficerent, refulsit, scindere, urgenti. 4. Explain carefully what is meant by the following expressions:

acclivis, commeatus, donum exitiale Minervae, eruptio, gaesa, gemini Atridae, Larissaeus Achilles, non absimili forma falcium muralium, soldurii, terram Hesperiam venies.

5. Translate the following passages, adding any explanations which you think necessary, and accounting for the grammar of the words in italics

(a) Confecta vulneribus hostes terga vertere.

cuius rei sunt longe peritissimi Aquitani propterea quod multis locis apud eos aerariae serturae

sunt.

(c) longe aliam esse navigationem in concluso mari atque in vastissimo et apertissimo Oceano perspiciebant.

(d) Si Pergama dextra defendi possent, etiam hac defensa fuissent.

(e) Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes.

ALGEBRA.

The Board of Examiners.

Every result must be reduced to its simplest form. The whole of the working of a question must be sent in as part of the answer.

1. Divide

by

x8 + x6 + x1 + x2 + 1

x2 + x3 + x2 + x + 1

2. Resolve into factors

(x + y)3 + (x − y)3.

3. Find the highest common factor of

10. A man walks 35 miles, partly at the rate of 4 miles an hour and partly at 5; if he had walked at 5 miles an hour when he walked at 4, and vice versâ, he would have covered 2 miles more in the same time. Find the time he was walking.

GEOMETRY.

The Board of Examiners.

The symbol must not be used; and the only abbreviation admitted for "the square described on the straight line AB" is "sq. on AB," and for "the rectangle contained by the straight lines AB, CD" is "rect. AB, CD.”

1. If one angle of a triangle is greater than another, the side opposite the former shall be greater than the side opposite the latter.

2. If two triangles have two sides of the one respectively equal to two sides of the other, and the third side of the one greater than the third side of the other, the angle opposite the former shall be greater than the angle opposite the latter.

3. If a parallelogram and a triangle be on the same base and between the same parallels the parallelogram shall be double of the triangle.

4. ABC is a straight line. Prove that the rectangle contained by AC, BC is equal to the square on BC and the rectangle AB, BC.

5. In a straight line AB a point C is taken. Prove that the squares on AB, BC are together equal to the square on AC and twice the rectangle AB, BC.

6. ABCD is a rectangle. Shew how to produce the side DC to E so that the square on CE shall be equal to the given rectangle.

7. In a given circle ACBD the chord AB bisects the chord CD at right angles in E. Prove that the centre of the circle is F the middle point of AB.

8. The opposite angles of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are together equal to two right angles.

9. From a point A on a circle ADE draw a chord AD cutting off a segment ADE containing an angle equal to a given angle B.

ENGLISH.

The Board of Examiners.

NOTE.-Pay particular attention to the spelling and punctuation of what you write; the writing must be neat and legible.

1. Parse fully each word which is printed in italics in the following passage:

Now, brothers, bending o'er th' accursed loom,
Stamp we our vengeance deep, and ratify his doom.
Edward, lo! to sudden fate

(Weave we the woof. The thread is spun.)
Half of thy heart we consecrate.

(The web is wove. The work is done.)

Stay, oh stay! nor thus forlorn

Leave me unbless'd, unpitied, here to mourn :
In yon bright track, that fires the western skies,
They melt, they vanish from my eyes.

But oh! what solemn scenes on Snowdon's height
Descending slow their glitt'ring skirts unroll?
Visions of glory, spare my aching sight!

Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul!
No more our long-lost Arthur we bewail.
All hail, ye genuine kings, Britannia's issue hail!
2. Make a full analysis of the following passage:-

There is no place in town which I so much love to frequent as the Royal Exchange. It gives me a secret satisfaction, and in some measure gratifies my vanity, as I am an Englishman, to see so rich an assembly of countrymen and foreigners consulting together upon the private business of mankind.
