Excerpt from A Junior Latin Reader
Postquam Perseus ad insulam nàvem appulit, se ad locum contulit ubi mater òlim habitziverat. At domum invenit vacuam et omninò desertam. Très dies per tòtam insulam màtrem quaerèbat; tandem quarto die ad templum Dianae pervènit. Hiie Danaè reffigerat, quod Polydectem timébat. Perseus, ubi haec éognòvit, iré'. Magnà. Commòtus est; ad regiam Polydectis sine moria. Contendit et, ubi eò venit, statim 30 in atrium irriipit. Polydectés magno timòre affectus est, et fugere volèbat. Dum tamen ille fugit, Perseus caput Me dfisae mònstrzîvit ille autem, simul atque hoc vidit, in saxum versus est.
