Verbs transitive, of what kind soever, whether active, deponent, or
common, require an accusative case, as
Procuratorem fugito, nam subdolus idem est:
Avoid an attorney, for the same is a cunning rogue.
Yet the legal profession are always boasting of their _deeds_.
Verbs neuter have an accusative case of a like signification to
themselves, as
Pomarii asinus duram servit servitutem:
A coster-monger's donkey serves a hard servitude.
Poor animal! A _Sterne_ heart was once melted by thy sufferings-- how
then must they affect that of the _gentle_ reader?
