_200._ PERSEUS AND ANDROMEDA (_Concluded_)
First learn the special vocabulary, p. 290. Read the whole story.
Perseus semper proelio studebat[3] et respondit,[3] "Verba tua sunt
maxime grata," et laetus arma sua magica paravit.[3] Subito monstrum
videtur; celeriter per aquam properat et Andromedae adpropinquat. Eius
amici longe absunt et misera puella est sola. Perseus autem sine mora
super aquam volavit.[3] Subito descendit[3] et duro gladio saevum
monstrum graviter vulneravit.[3] Diu pugnatur,[4] diu proelium est
dubium. Denique autem Perseus monstrum interfecit[3] et victoriam
reportavit.[3] Tum ad saxum venit[3] et Andromedam liberavit[3] et eam
ad Cepheum duxit.[3] Is, nuper miser, nunc laetus, ita dixit[3]: "Tuo
auxilio, mi amice, cara filia mea est libera; tua est Andromeda." Diu
Perseus cum Andromeda ibi habitabat[3] et magnopere a toto populo
amabatur.[3]
[Footnote 3: See if you can explain the use of the perfects and
imperfects in this passage.]
[Footnote 4: The verb pugnatur means, literally, _it is fought_;
translate freely, _the battle is fought_, or _the contest rages_.
The verb pugno in Latin is intransitive, and so does not have a
personal subject in the passive. A verb with an indeterminate
subject, designated in English by _it_, is called impersonal.]
LESSON XXXV

THE PERFECT PASSIVE AND FUTURE ACTIVE INFINITIVE

perfects._

given in full:
