Pooh! when I'm hauled prisoner into a foreign port in time of war, you may talk of accidents. Mr. Harry Richmond, Mr. Temple, I have the accidental happiness of drinking to your healths in a tumbler of hock wine. Nominative, hic, haec, hoc. Squire Gregory carried on the declension, not without pride. The Vocative confused him.
"Madame, I have forgotten it; all that I remember is that Latin has no article, that it has a vocative, and that the head belongs to the neuter gender." "Really!" said some one, entering noiselessly and merrily. It was the king of Navarre. "The head is of the neuter gender, M. Chicot? Why is it not masculine?" "Ah, sire, I do not know; it astonishes me as much as it does your majesty."
O MISERUM: 'O, wretched is that old man'. Cicero oftener joins O with the accusative than with the nominative: he rarely, if ever, uses the interjection with the vocative in direct address to persons. Lucretius, De Rerum Nat. 3, 417 et seq.; cf. also Caesar's argument at the trial of the Catilinian conspirators, Sall. Bell. DEDUCIT: cf. n. on 63. ATQUI: see n. on 6.
ILLUD: 'the following' A. 102, b, G. 292, 4; H. 450, 3. IDEM: īdem, not ĭdem. EDEPOL: literally, 'ah, god Pollux', e being an interjection, de a shortened form of the vocative of deus, pol abbreviated from Pollux. The asseveration is mostly confined to comedy.
"Nothing whatsoever," said the Duke drily. "Oh HE," said Zuleika, "thinks me an unredeemed brute; just because I don't love him. YOU, dear Mr. MacQuern does one call you 'Mr.? 'The' would sound so odd in the vocative. And I can't very well call you 'MacQuern' YOU don't think me unkind, do you?
She was daintily dressed and had beautiful hair which was all shining in pale gold. "Little boy!" She was smiling up at him, and once more she used that wantonly inaccurate vocative: "Little boy!" Hedrick grunted unencouragingly. "Who you callin' `little boy'?" For reply she began to climb the fence.
The southern doctrine, that Congress is to the District a mere local Legislature to do its pleasure, is tumbled from the genitive into the vocative! Hard fate and that too at the hands of those who begat it! The reasonings of Messrs. Pinckney, Wise, and Leigh, are now found to be wholly at fault, and the chanticleer rhetoric of Messrs. Glascock and Garland stalks featherless and crest-fallen.
Kshatriya-bandhu always implies low or inferior Kshatriyas, as Brahma-bandhu implies low or inferior Brahmanas. The expression, very probably, is similar to Brahman-sangat in current Bengali. It does not surely mean 'kinsmen of Kshatriyas'. The vocative, 'O foremost of regenerate ones' applies to Jamadagni's son. The narration is that of the Pitris.
A man hardly feels sure of his manhood till the magic word father is put in the vocative case and applied to him direct, and the apotheosis of woman comes with maternity. There is nothing remarkable about all this. It is the same the world around.
During this period he came to Cincinnati to establish himself in business, and as at this time the temperance reformation was in full tide of success there, he found every thing to strengthen his resolution; temperance meetings and speeches were all the mode; young men of the first standing were its patrons and supporters; wine was quite in the vocative, and seemed really in danger of being voted out of society.
