The following solution to "A Latin Word Square," on page 155, is from a

The square is made of magic spells
That speak of Horace and of Homer;
The third the glory that was Greece,
The first the grandeur that was _Roma_.
Tales of eating and of drinking,
And of falling roofs upholden,
Call up _Milo_;
_Milo_ backward murmurs _Olim_,
These, all these, were in the olden
Time long ago.
Lo! in yon brilliant window niche
My fourth--how statue-like he stands!
His bow and arrow in his hands,
Ah, _Amor_, from the regions which
Are Holy Lands.
