Translate into Greek Verse:

O, the fierce wretchedness that glory brings us!
Who would not wish to be from wealth exempt,
Since riches point to misery and contempt ?
Who would be so mock'd with glory? or to live
But in a dream of friendship?

To have his pomp and all what state compounds
But only painted, like his varnish'd friends?
Poor honest lord, brought low by his own heart,
Undone by goodness! Strange, unusual blood,
When man's worst sin is, he does too much good!
Who, then, dares to be half so kind again?
For bounty, that makes gods, does still mar men.
My dearest lord, bless'd, to be most accursed,
Rich, only to be wretched, thy great fortunes
Are made thy chief afflictions. Alas, kind lord
He's flung in rage from this ingrateful seat
Of monstrous friends, nor has he with him to
Supply his life, or that which can command it.

SHAKESPEARE.

Translate into Latin Verse:

The girl who from her father's door
Sees the cold storm-cloud sweep the sea,
Cries, wrestling with her anguish sore,
My love! my love! ah, where is he?
And locks her fears within her breast,
Sickening; while 'neath the breathless blaze
He lies, and dreams, in broken rest,
Of homely faces-happier days.

But when a calm is on the deep,

And scarcely from the quivering blue,
The waves' soft murmur, half asleep,
Speaks hope that he is well and true;
The brave ship sinks to rise no more
Beneath the thunderous surge; and he
A pale corpse floating on the sea,
Or dashed like seaweed on the shore.
