_150._ CORNELIA AND HER JEWELS (_Concluded_)

Proximum domicilio Corneliae erat pulchrae Campanae domicilium. Campana
erat superba non solum forma sua sed maxime ornamentis suis. Ea[1]
laudabat semper. "Habesne tu ulla ornamenta, Cornelia?" inquit. "Ubi
sunt tua ornamenta?" Deinde Cornelia filios suos Tiberium et Gaium
vocat. "Pueri mei," inquit, "sunt mea ornamenta. Nam boni liberi sunt
semper bonae feminae ornamenta maxime clara."

NOTE. The only new words here are /Campana\, /semper\, and /tu\.

[Footnote 1: /Ea\, accusative plural neuter.]

_151._ PARADIGMS

CONJUGATION III CONJUGATION IV
SINGULAR
1. rege:'bam, _I was ruling_ audie:'bam, _I was hearing_
2. rege:'ba:s, _you were riding_ audie:'ba:s, _you were hearing_
3. rege:'bat, _he was ruling_ audie:'bat, _he was hearing_

PLURAL
1. rege:ba:'mus, _we were ruling_ audie:ba:'mus, _we were hearing_
2. rege:ba:'tis, _you were ruling_ audie:ba:'tis, _you were hearing_
3. rege:'bant, _they were ruling_ audie:'bant, _they were hearing_

1. The tense sign is -ba:-, as in the first two conjugations.

2. Observe that the final -e- of the stem is lengthened before the
tense sign -ba:-. This makes the imperfect of the third conjugation
just like the imperfect of the second (cf. /mone:bam\ and /rege:bam\).

3. In the fourth conjugation -e:- is inserted between the stem and
the tense sign -ba:- (audi-e:-ba-m).

4. In a similar manner inflect the verbs given in Sec. 148.
