6. Give a short account of the rise of the dynasty of Gelo at Syracuse. 7. Mure points out the distinguishing characteristics of the Melic and Choral Strophes ?

8. Müller argues that the Doric mode took its rise in Greece, and states why the proof of this is so obscure?

PROFESSOR STACK.

Translate the following passage into Greek Lyric Verse:

Freedom with Virtue takes her seat;

Her proper place, her only scene,

Is in the golden mean;

She lives not with the poor, nor with the great.
He's no small prince, who every day

Thus to himself can say:

Now will I sleep, now eat, now sit, now walk,
Now meditate alone, now with acquaintance talk.

Where honour, or where conscience does not bind,
No other law shall shackle me;

Slave to myself I will not be ;

Nor shall my future actions be confined

By my own present mind.

Who by resolves and vows engaged does stand

For days, that yet belong to fate,

Does, like an unthrift, mortgage his estate

Before it falls into his hand.

If life should a well-ordered poem be,

In which he only hits the white

Who joins true profit with the best delight,

The more heroic strain let others take;

Mine the Pindaric way I'll make;

The matter shall be grave, the numbers loose and free.

It shall not keep one settled pace of time,

In the same tune it shall not always chime,

Nor shall each day just to his neighbour rhyme :

A thousand liberties it shall dispense,

And yet shall manage all without offence;

Or to the sweetness of the sound, or greatness of the sense.
So the imperial eagle does not stay

Till the whole carcase he devour
That's fallen into his power:

As if his generous hunger understood

That he can never want plenty of food,

He only sucks the tasteful blood;

And to fresh game flies cheerfully away;

To kites and meaner birds he leaves the mangled prey.
