Ah! si vous saviez comme on pleure

April made me: winter laid me here away asleep
Ask me no more: the moon may draw the sea .
Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughter'd saints, whose bones

If thou wouldst find what holiest men have sought

In former days when, confined

In painted plumes superbly drest

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Soothed with the sound, the king grew vain
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen
Sweet is the song of rivulets descending

Tell me, thou star, whose wings of light

That there's a self, which after death shall live
The heart of childhood is all mirth

The misty clouds, that fall sometime

The praise of Bacchus then the sweet musician sung
The rose had been washed, just washed in a shower
The world's great age begins anew

Therefore, sharers of my sufferings

Though the torrents from their fountains
Three flies a-flying

What ailed thee, Robin, that thou couldst pursue

Why dost thou haste, O morn? From ocean's bed

You first I call on, brothers o'er the sea

AN INTRODUCTION TO LATIN ELEGIAC VERSE COMPOSI TION. Second Edition. Globe 8vo. 2s. 6d.

The Athenæum says:-" Mr. Lupton's is the best work of the kind which has been published since Mr. Gepps' excellent 'Progressive Exercises,' to which it is intended to be partly introductory, partly supplementary.' The English extracts are very well selected, and the retranslations are from the Latin of some of our best composers, such as Shilleto, Conington, and Dr. Paley."

The Saturday Review says:-"The passages are, on the whole, well chosen, and the Latin verses suggested by the paraphrases are, as far as we have tested them, scholarly and graceful."

The Spectator says:-"Mr. Lupton's is a very carefully compiled and useful manual."

The Schoolmaster says:-"This is an excellent book, and possesses some new features that are not found in other works on the same subject. . . The work is graded almost to perfection, and the pupil is so carefully led through the intricacies of verse composition till he is able to attack, single-handed, any of our ordinary selections of English poetry."

The Journal of Education says:-"A pretty little book, which the preface tells us is meant to be partly introductory and partly supplementary to Mr. Gepps' popular volume. The introductory part is particularly commendable, and the first slopes to Parnassus could not be made smoother or plainer for a beginner. . . The exercises in original English poems, with the aid of English retranslations, are happily chosen and gracefully rendered."
