Before we do a bit of practice with the case endings, the
last line of this quotation gets you started.
These plunderers of the world [the Romans], after exhausting
the land by their devastations, are rifling the ocean: stimulated by avarice,
if their enemy be rich; by ambition, if poor; unsatiated by the East and by the
West: the only people who behold wealth and indigence with equal avidity. To
ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and ¦
where they make a desert, they call it peace. (Tacitus: Agricola)
Ubi sōlitūdin¦em faciunt pāc¦em appellant.
