Iis Thebani sacra crebra parabant.[1] Oppidani amabant Latonam et liberos eius. Id superbae reginae erat molestum. "Cur," inquit, "Latonae et liberis sacra paratis?Duos liberos habet Latona; quattuordecim habeo ego. Ubi sunt mea sacra?"Latona iis verbis[2] irata liberos suos vocat. Ad eam volant Apollo Dianaque et sagittis[3] suis miseros liberos reginae superbae delent.Niobe, nuper laeta, nunc misera, sedet apud liberos interfectos et c.u.m perpetuis lacrimis[4] eos desiderat.NOTE. Consult the general vocabulary for >, >, and >. Try to remember the meaning of all the other words.[Footnote 1: Observe the force of the imperfect here, _used to prepare_, _were in the habit of preparing_; so [Footnote 2: Ablative of cause.][Footnote 3: Ablative of means.][Footnote 4: This may be either manner or accompaniment. It is often impossible to draw a sharp line between means, manner, and accompaniment. The Romans themselves drew no sharp distinction. It was enough for them if the general idea demanded the ablative case.]LESSON XXII REVIEW OF VERBS THE DATIVE WITH ADJECTIVES [Special Vocabulary]NOUNS >, f., _training, culture, discipline_ >, m., _Caius_, a Roman first name >, n., _ornament, jewel_ Tiberius, Tibe'ri, m., _Tiberius_, a Roman first name VERB >, _teach_ (doctrine) ADVERB >, _most of all, especially_ ADJECTIVE <141.>> Review the present, imperfect, and future active indicative, both orally and in writing, of > and the verbs in --129.<142.>> We learned in --43 for what sort of expressions we may expect the dative, and in --44 that one of its commonest uses is with _verbs_ to express the indirect object. It is also very common with _adjectives_ to express the object toward which the quality denoted by the adjective is directed. We have already had a number of cases where >, _agreeable to_, was so followed by a dative; and in the last lesson we had >, _annoying to_, followed by that case. The usage may be more explicitly stated by the following rule: <143.>> RULE. > _The dative is used with adjectives to denote the object toward which the given quality is directed. Such are, especially, those meaning >, also >, >, >, >, and their opposites._ <144.>> Among such adjectives memorize the following: >, _fit, suitable_ (for) >, _hostile_ (to) >, _pleasing_ (to), _agreeable_ (to) >, _annoying_ (to), _troublesome_ (to) >, _neighboring_ (to) >, _nearest, next_ (to) <145.>> EXERCISES I. 1.
