able to find true friend, your life will be happy.

CICERO IMAGINES THE STATE OF ROME ITSELF URGING HIM TO
PUNISH THE CATILINARIAN CONSPIRATORS

M. Tulli Cicero, what are you doing ?  Those men ought to pay the penalty
on account of many bad acts, you ought to lead them truly to death,
because they had drawn Roma into great danger.  Roman people had often
punished truly citizens with death in this state.  But you ought not to

of the citizens in this city; those men had lost their own lows.
The people of Roma thanks there a lot, M. Tulli, if you will now punish
such men with courage.

CTRUS' DYING WORDS ON IMMORTALITY

O my three sons, you ought not to be miserable.  I now truly come to death,
but the part of me, my spirit, will always remain.  While I was with you,

the sprit to be in this body. Believe, therefore, the spirit to be the same
after death, and also if you will not see the spirit, always preserve me even
in your memory.

ON AMBITION AND LITERATURE, BOTH LATIN AND GREEK

The poets can give great and perpetual fame to people through literature;
many men, therefore, desire the literature to be written about their own
things. All of us are drawn by the pursuit of praise and many glories are led
by those which can be found either in Greek or in Latin literature.
Who, however, sees many fruit of glory in Latin verses but not in Greek's, errs too
much, because the Greek literatures are read in almost all races, but Latin
literatures are restricted in our own territory.

LAOCOON SPEAKS OUT AGAINST THE TROJAN HORSE.

Oppressed by long war and by turning away gods, the leaders of Greek, now after
10 years, make a big wooden horse with the skill of Minerva.
They fill up the uterum with many soldiers, they leave the horse in the coast,
and they sail over the island nearby.
Trojans see no troops nor ships; all Trojans are glad; the gates are opened.
About the horse, however, Trojans are doubtful.
Somebody desire them to be lead into the city, others speak them as Greeks' plots.
The chief there before all people, running from the citadel, Laocoon, a Trojan
priest, says these words: "O miserable citizens, you are not sound! What are you
thinking ? Don't you understand the Greeks and their plots?  Either you will find
in that horse many harsh soldiers, or the horse is a machine for war, made against us,
if going to come to the city, going to spy on our houses and people.
Or something is hidden. Do not trust on the horse, Trojans: whatever it is, I fear
the Greeks and also the carrying gifts!"
He has left, and he has thrown a strong spear with great power of left hand into

DE CUPIDITATE

THE DEATH OF LAOCOON...AND TROY

Here another great fear (O miserable story!) terrifies our blind sprit.
Laocoon, made a priest of Neptune by fortune, was scarifying a fierce bull to an altar
in the shore.
Then mighty twin serpents, pressing from the sea, run from the insular to the shore.
And now they were holding the land and, blazing the eyes with fire, were licking
the mouths with hissing tongues.
The whole of us flee; they aim at Laocoon and his sons by the definite way,
At first, they catch the small bodies of two boys and mangle and kill and devour them.
Then they snatch the brave father, running to the miserable sons, and hold and overcome
with great coils.  Neither he could not defend himself from wounds nor flee, and
he himself just as the wounded bull to the altar, raises horrible screams to the
heaven.  At the same time the serpents flee, and seek shelter in the field of
keen Menerava.
Because Laocoon had thrown a spear into the horse of Minerva, we have thought
that he had erred and paid the penalty; we have been ignorant of the bitter truth.
We open the gates and receive that horse in the city; and boys and girls ---
O fatherland, O great gods, O Troya --- they rejoice to touch it.  And we rejoice
miserable ourselves, too, to whom that day were the final and also to whom there
will be no relief.

THE CHARTER OF CIMON

Ciom reached to the highest honors quickly.  For he was having enough of eloquence,
the highest liberality, the greatest knowledge of laws and military things, because
he had been in the armies with his father apart from his childhood.
This man has kept, therefore, the urban people in his own power very easily and
he has been among the greatest army well with respect to authority.
After this man had died, Athenians have grieved for him for a long time;
not only in war, but also in the peace they have desired him seriously.
For he has been a man of so large liberality that, although he was having many
gardens, he has never put the guards in them; for he has wished the gardens to be
most freely open so that the people might not be prevented from these enjoyments.
Often, however, when he was seeing someone less good clothed, he gave his own
cloak to him.
He has enriched many men; he has helped many alive poor people and also he has buried
dead people at his own expense.  So it is least surprising if, because of the death
of Cimon, his life was free from care and his death was for all so harsh than the death
of someone from the family.

'Gaius Pompeius Trimalchio Maecenatianus rests here. He is decreed to this
post of sevir Augustalis in absence (from Roma). Although he could be
in all club of Rome, nevertheless did he not wish.
He has grown devoted, brave, faithful, from humble beginnings; he has left
30 million sesterces (=unit of money), and he has never listened to philosopher.
Good-bye, and you.'"
Trimalchio said these things and began to weep profusely.
The goddess of fortune was weeping; and Habinnas (his wife) was weeping;
At last all of the family, as if they were asked in funeral, has filled
the dinning room with lament.

MARCUS QUINTO FRATRIS.

Licinius, a slave of our Aespos, has fleed from Roma to Athene.
He was in Athene in the house of a patron as a free man.
Then he went away into Asia. Postea Plato, a certain man who is much
accustomed to being in Atene and who then had been in Athene when Licinius
had come to Athene, with the letter of Aespos about Licinius having been
received, arrested this man in Ephesus and has handed him down into the protection.
I ask to you, brother, going out from Ephesus, that you bring back the slave
to Roma with you.  Aespos is truly so angry because of the crime of the slave
that nothing can be more pleasing for him than the recovery of the runaway slave.
Good-bye.

If you are well, it is good. I read your letter with pleasure; I recognized truly that
your former virtue even in common greeting.  Consuls came to that army which I had in Apulia.

I have done often this and I am seen to do it more often; you are so worthy.  Especially,
since I believe that I am going to the city more quickly, I beg you that I would see you

HANNIBAL AND THE BEGINNINGS OF THE SECOND PUNIC WAR

Hannibal, the son of Hamilcar, was born at Carthage.  In his youth he preserved the former
hatred of his father toward Romans so firmly that he never put it aside.
He exited from Carthago with his father and started into Spain by long journey;
and after long years, with Hamilcar having been murdered, the army gave over the supreme
power to him.
So Hannibal, five and twenty years old, was made to the general.
He has not rested for three years, but he has conquered all tribes in Spain and
has obtained three very great troops.  He has sent one of these troops into Africa,
has left another troop with his brother in Spain, he has led the third troop into
Italy with himself.

He has approached to the Alps, which no one before him had ever gone across with army.
He has killed the people trying to prohibit him to go across;
he had made open the places; and he has entered into Italy with many elephants and
soldiers.  In this journey he was affected by so heavy disease of his eyes that
afterwards he could never use well his right eye.
He has overcome many commanders, nevertheless, and armies of Romans, and on account of
that general thousands of Roman soldiers have been perished.

JUPITER PROPHESIES TO VENUS THE FUTURE GLORY OF ROME

The father of humans and also of gods smiling to that woman by face, by whom he brightens the sky
and the storm, he kissed to his daughter in ritual fashion, then speaks such things:
"Be lenient to fear, the Cytheran (= 金星、Venus); the fates of your men remain unchanged to you.
You will distinguish the city and the promised walls of Lavinium and you will bring noble and brave
Aeneas to the stars in heaven; and the opinion does not change me. (I have not changed my mind.)
...
Aeneas carries on a huge war in Italy and he will beat fierce nations and he will institute
habits and build walls to men.
...
Romulus will receive the nation and build the walls of Mars and name the Romans from his
own name.
I put to these men neither goals for their empire (of their affairs) nor times:
I gave supreme power without an end.  Indeed harsh Juno, who tires out now ocean and lands
and also heaven with fear, will change her plans for the better, will cherish Romans,
the masters of their affairs and toga-clad nations, also with me."

THE VALUE OF LITERATURE

If only pleasure were sought from these studies, nevertheless, as I suppose, you would have
judged this release of high sprits as very human and liberal.
For the remaining releases are neither of all times nor of all ages, nor of all places;
and these studies nourish the youth, amuse aged, furnish favorable things, offer an shelter
and comfort to the opposite people, delight at home, do not hinder outside, spend the night,
and are traveled abroad, are lived in the country, with us.
