SECTION II. OF NUMBER AND PERSON.

Verbs {053}have two numbers, the Singular and the Plural: as, "I fiddle,

we fiddle," &c.

In each number there are three persons; as,

SINGULAR. PLURAL.

First Person I love We love.

Second Person Thou lovest Ye or you love.

Third Person He loves They love.

What a deal there is in every Grammar about love! Here the following

Lines, by a Young Lady, (now no more,) addressed to Lindley Murray,

deserves to be recorded:--

"Oh, Murray! fatal name to me,

Thy burning page with tears is wet;

Since first 'to love' I learned of thee,

Teach me, ah! teach me to forget!'"
