[3] Complete the Latin text with the missing endings and words; some endings may be used twice:

“Within the walls of the city the voices of the angry enemies could be heard. At last a small battle was fought. We threw many missiles. But our forces were not large enough, and the king’s legion quickly brought the war to an end with great force. Afterwards the angry king summoned all the enemies and spoke thus: ‘I shall not allow my enemies to remain with me in the same country. I shall not allow them to live with good citizens. I am a wise king. Immediately you will be exiles. The safety of my country is dear to me.’”

“Quō modō hūc pervēnistī?” rogāvit Maria.

“Mē in fugam dedī et multōs diēs intrā castellum antīquum prope pontem latēbam,” vir miserā vōce respondit. “Nēmō mē vīdit. Nāvem exspectāvī. In eā nāvī labōrāvī. Mare trānsīvī. Nihil nunc habeō et diū per terram errāvī et cibum pecūniamque rogāvī. Quandō iterum domum vidēbō? Hoc nōn spērō. Nihil spērō. Tantum mare patriam meam ab hāc terrā dīvidit. Fēlīx nōn sum. Sapiēns nōn eram ubi in numerō hostium eram. Sī umquam iterum patriam vidēbō, quanta erit laetitia mea! Iterum perfidus nōn erō.”
