RESPONSIONS.

I.

Latin Prose.

If it is the part of a good general, not only to make a proper use of the present, but also to form the best judgement of things to come, it must be allowed that Pericles both foresaw and foretold what success the Athenians would have in the war; namely, that they would ruin themselves by grasping too much. But it was entirely against the advice of Fabius, that the Romans sent Scipio into Africa, and yet they were victorious there; not by the favour of fortune, but by the courage and conduct of their general. So that the misfortunes of his country bore witness to the sagacity of Pericles; while from the glorious success of the Romans, it appeared that Fabius was utterly mistaken. And, indeed, it is an equal fault in a commander, to lose an advantage through diffidence, as to fall into danger from want of foresight.
