Chrsitmas!!!
- Jingle Bells
Nives, glacies, nox puertia!
Risus decet nunc, decent carmina!
Laetos iuvat nos ire per agros!
Traha fert velociter, cachinemus nos!
Tinniat, tinniat, tintinnabulum!
Labimur in glacie post equum curtum!
Tinniat, tinniat, tintinnabulum!
Labimur in glacie post equum curtum!
- Deck the Halls
Aquafolia ornatis
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tempus hoc hilaritatis
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Vestes claras induamus;
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Cantilenas nunc promamus
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
- Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
Reno erat Rudolphus
Nasum rubrum habebat;
Si quando hunc videbas,
Hunc candere tu dicas.
Omnes renores alii
Semper hunc deridebant;
Cum misero Rudolpho
In ludis non ludebant.
Santus Nicholas dixit
Nocte nebulae,
"Rudolphe, naso claro
Nonne carum tu duces?"
Tum renores clambant,
"Rudolphe, delectus es?
Cum naso rubro claro
Historia descendes!"

Nobiscum sic morari:
Ecce, canunt angeli
Gloriam novo Regi!
Pacis o caelestis Princeps,

Levaturus mortales,
Ut bis natos nos praestes:
Ecce, canunt angeli
Gloriam, novo Regi!

- Silent Night
Tranquilla nox! Sancta nox!
Dormit mundus; nulla vox
Iam auditur; in stabulo
Maria et Ioseph cum puero
Qui dormit placide.
Qui dormit placide.
Tranqilla nox! Sancta nox!
Ad pastores iam venit velox
Illud verbum ex angelis--
"Alleluia, nunc adis,
Christe, Redemptor tu!
Christe, Redemptor tu!"
Tranquilla nox! Sancta nox!
Fili Dei, quanta mox
Caritas lucet ex ore tuo:
Gratiae tempus adest mundo,
Cum natus sis, Domine!
Cum natus sis, Domine!

Archimedes was an ancient Greek
Famous Woman #9
Antigone was a princess. She should have had a great life, but unfortunately, that life was not what not in the cards for her. Her mother committed suicide, and her father gouged his own eyes out. Antigone traveled with her father, and became his eyes. When her father died, Antigone's uncle, Creon, became their guardian. Her brothers started fighting over the kingdom when they were growing up, and eventually killed each other. Creon now ruled, and he wanted to leave Antigone's brother's body out to rot. He also ordered that whoever tried to bury it would be killed. Antigone, who is in love with her cousin (Creon's son), decides to go bury her brother. She buries him, but a guard sees her and reports her to Creon. Antigone is sentenced to death by stoning, and before that can happen, she kills herself. Her cousin that she is betrothed to sees her dead, and kills himself. Then Creon's wife, when finding out her son is dead, kills herself.

Please translate the story of the Rape of Lucretia (Page 47)
When finished, please work on your blog; I would like you to visit the 'Heroes' page at the Walters (in preparation for our Jan 16th field trip), find out what hero you would be, and research the depiction of that hero in art. What clothes, weapons, other attributes always identifies the hero (for example, if my hero was Superman, I'd say: blue tights, red cape, big letter 's'!)
