15.09.24: Level 1; Ora Maritima 11[1]

Magister noster vir doctus est, sed lūdōrum perītus. Nōbīs puerīs cārus est. Inter fēriās patruum meum interdum vīsitat. Dextra magistrī nostrī valida est, et puerī pigrī nec dextram nec magistrum amant.

“Nōn amo tē, Sabidī, nec possum dīcere quārē.

Hoc tantum possum dīcere: nōn amo tē.”

Magistrum nōn amant quia librōs Graecōs et Latīnōs nōn amant. Nam discipulī scholae nostrae linguīs antīquīs operam dant, atque scientiīs mathēmaticīs. Magistrō nostrō magna cōpia est librōrum pulchrōrum. Schola nostra antīqua et clāra est: nōn solum librīs sed etiam lūdīs operam damus. Schola nostra nōn in Cantiō est. In vīcō nostrō est lūdus litterārius, crēber puerīs et puellīs, līberīs agricolārum. Sed ego cum Marcō et Alexandrō, amīcīs meīs, ad Ventam Belgārum discipulus sum.

In which order are the following referred to:

A school with a lot of pupils

Being skilled in games

Dislike of Greek and Latin books

Farmers’ children

Having a lot of books

Not only focussing on books

Subjects that are not Latin and Greek

The teacher’s strong right hand!

“Nōn amo tē, Sabidī, nec possum dīcere quārē.

Magistrum nōn amant quia [3] librōs Graecōs et Latīnōs nōn amant. Nam discipulī scholae nostrae linguīs antīquīs operam dant, atque [4] scientiīs mathēmaticīs. Magistrō nostrō [5] magna cōpia est librōrum pulchrōrum. Schola nostra antīqua et clāra est: [6] nōn solum librīs sed etiam lūdīs operam damus. Schola nostra nōn in Cantiō est. In vīcō nostrō est lūdus litterārius, [7] crēber puerīs et puellīs, [8] līberīs agricolārum. Sed ego cum Marcō et Alexandrō, amīcīs meīs, ad Ventam Belgārum discipulus sum.

Our teacher is a learned man, but an expert in games. He is dear to us boys. He sometimes visits my uncle during the holidays. The right hand of our teacher is strong, and lazy boys love neither the right hand nor the teacher.

“I do not love you, Sabidius, and I cannot say why.

I can only say this: I don't love you."

They do not love the teacher because they do not love Greek and Latin books. For the pupils of our school pay attention to the ancient languages, and to the mathematical sciences [Mathematics]. Our teacher has a large number of beautiful books. Our school is ancient and well-known: we pay attention not only to books but also to games. Our school is not in Kent. In our village there is a primary school, packed with boys and girls, the children of the farmers. But I, together with Mark and Alexander, my friends, are students at Winchester.
