exercise: analysis of verbs
exercise type: fill in the blanks

Ego, si quis, iudices, hoc robore animi atque hac indole virtutis ac continentiae
fuit ut respueret omnis voluptates omnemque vitae suae cursum in labore corporis atque in animi contentione conficeret, quem non quies, non remissio, non aequalium studia, non ludi, non convivium delectaret, nihil in vita expetendum putaret, nisi quod esset cum laude et cum dignitate coniunctum, hunc mea sententia divinis quibusdam
bonis instructum atque ornatum puto. Ex hoc genere illos fuisse arbitror Camillos, Fabricios, Curios, omnisque eos, qui haec ex minimis tanta fecerunt.
