I need help translating this:

Cum puer autem hos versus magistro suo dedisset, hic, excellentiam versuum miratus, timuit, ducens scientiam in illis divinam, non humanam. Et ait: "Dic mihih, quis tibi hos versus dictavit?" Primum puer respondit: "Ego, magister!"

Thanks!

@Me-ipsa,
But when the boy had given these verses to his teacher, this man, astonished,
feared the excellence of the verses, reckoning knowledge of these things to be
divine, not human.

And he said, "Tell me, who repeated these verses to you?"

At first the boy replied, "I, teacher."

Note that the boy had gotten homework help from the devil.
His teacher would finally get him to see the error of his ways.



Just sayin'

@George,
Hey George you help me translate this part of a fun script..its kind of long but what ever you know could help...

Gaius: Nonne hoc scio? Discipulus sum: puto nihil discipulorum a me alienum esse. En! Hodie magister pronuntiabat: “Nonne scitis dua genera discipulorum esse? Unum genus est eorum qui, aliis studiis oppressi, Latinam tamen perficiunt. Hoc genus gloriam aeternam capiet, et idem puto tibi faciendum esse.

Marcella: Num hoc aliquid novi est? Et audio eum semper clamare, “Otium delendum est!” Verumne?

Gaius: Sic ut audivisti. Tum ait: “Alterum genus discipulorum est qui tantum sperant se Latinam docturos esse. Videbis eos oscitantes, mittentes ad horas, loquentes inter se, non numquam etiam-O horror! O di magni! O universita!--verba ab magistro dicta neglegentes. Hoc tibi non faciendum est.”

Marcella: Mehercule! Quid putabas?

Gaius: Nihil. Dormiebam. Gaius mihi hoc narravit. His rebus pronuntiatis, magister ait: “Non is est miser qui iussus laborem perficit; sed is qui invitus perfecit. Admitto laborosum esse studium Latinae, sed nego hunc laborem timendum vobis esse! Nolite desidiosi esse! Dico vobis, discipulis, vos linguam Latinam posse vincere!”

Marcella: Nonne dixi te Latinam debere fugere?

Gaius: Tace! Patefacturus bonam partem sum!

Marcella: Quid est?

Gaius: Denique Gloria surgit dicens, “Fabulae! O miseri discipuli, nonne intellegitis magistros et insidias eorum?” et stilum magnis cum viribus iecit: illud tremens in uterum magistri stetit.

@Me-ipsa,
well, all these are years later but...I've seen this before, in something I translated previously.

It's a classroom, and the teacher is reading a list of names, saying all who are present cum puer autem, respond by saying here.

ducens scietiam in illis divanam: in the name of the lord we begin

excellentiam means students

and the student replies here master, mister, teacher yea..I am. Tibi means students: like in Arabic, taub
