" Madam," she wrote to the Queen of Scots,
" I am informed that open rebels against my authority are receiving countenance and favour from yourself and your councillors. The news, madam, I must tell you, with your pardon, do much displease us. Remove those briars, I pray you, lest some thorn prick the hand of those who are to blame in this. Such matters hurt to the quick. I t is not by such ways as these that you will attain the object of your wishes. These be the bye paths which those follow who fear the open road. I say not this for any dread I feel of harm that you may do me. My trust is in Him who governs all things by His justice, and with this faith I know no alarm."

1. Translate into Latin—
The attack was repulsed. But Catilina had not yet been defeated; and the tribune now moved a rogation to the people for recalling Pompeius with his troops, and giving him full powers for the destruction of the common enemy.
The senate shrank from offering any such invi- tation; it would rather have thrown some ob- stacle in the way of his return, and rejoiced in the dilatoriness of his present proceedings. I t exerted all its influence to thwart the odious proposal. The part Ctesar was playing now became manifest. He appeared as'the counsellor and confidant of the demagogue, whose violence was destroying all hope of reconciliation between the oligarchs and their former leader. The tri- bune had occupied the forum with a crowd of his own adherents.

Non ego me claro natum patre, non ego circum Me Satureiano vectari rura caballo,
Sed, quod eram, narro. Respondes, ut tuus est mos,
Pauca: abeo; et rcvocas nono post mense, ju- besque
Esse in amicorum numero. Magnum hoc ego duco,
Quod placui tibi, qui turpi secernis honestum, Non patre praeclaro, sed vita et pectorc puro.

At Sejanus nimia fortuna socors, et muliebri insuper cupidine incensus, promissum matrimo- nium flagitahtc Livia, componit ad CaBsarem codicillos: moris quippe tum erat quamquam proesentem scripto adire. Ejus talis forma fuit:
benivolentia patris Augusti et mox plurimis Tibeiii judiciis ita insuevisse, ut spes votaque sua non prius ad deos quam ad principum aures con- ferret. Neque fulgorem honorum umquam pre- catum : excubias ac labores, utunum e militibus, pro incolumitate imperatoris malle. Attamen quod pulcherrimum, adeptum, ut conjunctione Caesaris dignus crederetur. Hinc initium spei.
E t quoniam audiverit Augustum in conlocanda filia nonnihil etiam de equitibus Romanis consult- avisse, ita, si maritus Livia; quaereretur, haberet in animo amicum sola necessitudinis gloria usurum.
Non enim exuere inpnsita munia : satis aestimare firmari domum adversum iniquas Agrippinae of- fensiones, idque liberorum causa. Nam sibi
