I. Translate into Latin:—
M. Manlius, the preserver of the Capitol from the Gauls, was jealous of the high reputation of Camillus, and alienated from the patricians generally, because his share of the high offices of the commonwealth was not such as his merits claimed. Thus he was ready to feel indignant at the severities practised against the debtors; and his better feelings also, the loftiness of his nature, and his sympathy with brave men, were all shocked by the scenes which he daily witnessed. One day he saw a centurion who had served with him, and whom he knew to be a distinguished soldier, now dragged through the market-place on his way to his creditor's workhouse. He hastened up, protested against the indignity, himself paid the debt upon the spot, and redeemed the debtor. The gratitude and popularity, which this act won for him, excited him to go on in the same course: he sold by public auction the most valuable part of his landed property, and declared that he would never see a fellow-citizen made a bondsman for debt, so long as he had the means of relieving him.
