THE ACCUSATIVE OF THE PART CONCERNED.

1147. Poets use the accusative to express the part concerned, especially

a part of the human body: as,

#tremit artūs#, Lucr. 3, 489, V. _G._ 3, 84, _he shivers in his limbs_.

#tremis ossa pavōre#, H. _S._ 2, 7, 57, _thou tremblest in thy bones

with fear_. #viridī membra sub arbutō strātus#, H. 1, 1, 21,

_stretching--his limbs--beneath an arbute green_. #ōs umerōsque deō

similis#, V. 1, 589, _in face and shoulders like a god_.
