#sī interpellās, ego tacēbō#, Pl. _Men._ 1121, _if you persist in
breaking in, I’ll hold my tongue_. #hīc tū sī laesum tē esse dīcis,
patiar et concēdam; sī iniūriam tibī̆ factam quereris, dēfendam et
negābō#, _Caecil._ 58, _if you assert that you are hurt in this matter,
I am perfectly willing to admit it; but if you complain that it is a
violation of your rights, I shall stoutly maintain the contrary_. Often
in this combination the present is loosely used of future time (1593):
as, #nunc sī ille hūc salvos revenit, reddam suom sibī̆; sī quid eō
fuerit, habeō dōtem unde dem#, Pl. _Tri._ 156, _now if our absent friend
comes safely back, I’ll give him back his own again; if anything befalls
him, I’ve wherewith a dower to give_. #nisi id cōnfestim facis, ego tē
trādam magistrātuī#, N. 15, 4, 3, _if you do not do it at once, I will
hand you over to a magistrate_. #sī pāce fruī volumus, bellum gerendum
est; sī bellum omittimus, pāce numquam fruēmur#, _Ph._ 7, 19, _if we
wish to enjoy peace, we shall have to make war; if we give up war, we
never shall enjoy peace_. #convincam, sī negās#, _C._ 1, 8, _I will
bring it home to you, if you deny it_. #tibi dīvitiās dabō, sī
impetrās#, Pl. _MG._ 1213, _I’ll make you rich, if you succeed_.
