_140._ NI'OBE AND HER CHILDREN (_Concluded_)

First learn the special vocabulary, p. 288.

Apollo et Diana erant liberi Latonae. 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 cum
perpetuis lacrimis[4] eos desiderat.

NOTE. Consult the general vocabulary for /Apollo\, /inquit\, /duos\, and
/quattuordecim\. 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 /amabant\ denotes a
past situation of affairs. (See Sec. 134.)]

[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.]
