1056. A COMPOUND SENTENCE is one which consists of two or more
coordinate simple sentences: as,
#tū mē amās, ego tē amō#, Pl. _Most._ 305, _thou art in love with me,
I’m in love with thee_. #nox erat et caelō fulgēbat lūna serēnō inter
minōra sīdera#, H. _Epod._ 15, 1, _’twas night, and in a cloudless sky,
bright rode the moon amid the lesser lights_. #ā tē petō, mē dēfendās#,
_Fam._ 15, 8, _I ask it of you, protect me_.
1057. A compound sentence is usually abridged when the members have
parts in common: as,
#valēbant precēs et lacrimae#, _Mil._ 34, _prayers and tears had
weight_, compound subject, for #valēbant precēs et valēbant lacrimae#.
#rogat ōratque tē#, _RA._ 144, _he begs and entreats you_, compound
predicate, for #rogat tē ōratque tē#. #arma virumque canō#, V. 1, 1,
_arms and the man I sing_, compound object, for #arma canō virumque
canō#. #diū atque ācriter pugnātum est#, 1, 26, 1, _there was long and
sharp fighting_, for #diū pugnātum est atque ācriter pugnātum est#.
