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\).
