VERBS OF EMOTION.

2187. The accusative with the infinitive is sometimes used with verbs of

joy, grief, surprise, or wonder: as,

#venīre tū mē gaudēs#, Pl. _B._ 184, _thou art glad I’m come_. #doluī

pācem repudiārī#, _Marc._ 14, _I felt sorry peace was rejected_. These

verbs often have the construction with #quod#, or in old Latin with

#quia# (1851).

2188. Some of the commonest of these verbs are #doleō#, #gaudeō#,

#laetor#, #mīror#, &c., &c.; and from Cicero on, #angor#, #indignor#,

#lūgeō#, #sollicitō#.
