When a nominative comes between the relative and the verb, the relative
is governed by the following verb, or by some other word in its own
member of the sentence; as, "He _whom_ I _serve_, is eternal."
NOTE 1. _Who, which, what_, the relative _that_, and their
compounds, _whomever, whomsoever_, &c., though in the objective
case, are always placed before the verb; as, "He _whom_ ye _seek_,
has gone hence."
2. Every relative must have an antecedent to which it relates,
either expressed or implied; as, "_Who_ steals my purse, steals
trash;" that is, _he_ who.
3. The pronouns _whichsoever, whatsoever_, and the like, are
sometimes elegantly divided by the interposition of the
corresponding nouns; as, "On _which_ side _soever_ the _king_ cast
his eyes," &c.
4. The pronoun _what_ is sometimes improperly used instead of the
conjunction _that;_ as, "He would not believe but _what_ I was in
fault." It should be "but _that_," &c.
