I am familiar with the ancient and modern poets.

I have read a good French translation of Homer, Horace, and Virgil, with a master.

I have studied the history of Brandenburg, of Germany, and of America.

We have read the immortal works of Voltaire, of Jean Jacques Rousseau, and of Shakespeare, with many of our modern poets.

My instructor has read all these works aloud to me, and he was much pleased when I repeated parts of what he had read to me some days afterward." "You appear to have had a very learned instructor," remarked the king, sneeringly.
