Perseus and Andromeda (Concluded)

First learn the special vocabulary, p. 290. Read the whole story.

Perseus semper proeliō studēbat^[3] et respondit,^[3] “Verba tua sunt maximē grāta,” et laetus arma sua magica parāvit.^[3] Subitō mōnstrum vidētur; celeriter per aquam properat et Andromedae adpropinquat. Eius amīcī longē absunt et misera puella est sōla. Perseus autem sine morā super aquam volāvit.^[3] Subitō dēscendit^[3] et dūrō gladiō saevum mōnstrum graviter vulnerāvit.^[3] Diū pugnātur,^[4] diū proelium est dubium. Dēnique autem Perseus mōnstrum interfēcit^[3] et victōriam reportāvit.^[3] Tum ad saxum vēnit^[3] et Andromedam līberāvit^[3] et eam ad Cēpheum dūxit.^[3] Is, nūper miser, nunc laetus, ita dīxit:^[3] “Tuō auxiliō, mī amīce, cāra fīlia mea est lībera; tua est Andromeda.” Diū Perseus cum Andromedā ibi habitābat^[3] et magnopere ā tōtō populō amābātur.^[3]
