Ecce Corinthium: Behold the Corinthian.
Modern Corinthians, we fear, know but little Greek, except that of the
Ægidiac, or St. Giles's dialect.
En and ecce, adverbs of upbraiding, are joined most commonly to an
accusative case only, as--
En togam squamosam!
Look at his scaly toga!
Ecce caudam! Twig his tail!
