quamvis multi opinarentur, _though many thought_; quamvis infesto animo perveneras, _though you had come with hostile intent_. Clauses with _Dum_, _Modo_, _Dummodo_, denoting a Wish or a Proviso. 310. These particles are followed by the Subjunctive (negative ne) and have two distinct uses:-- I. They are used to introduce clauses _embodying a wish_ entertained by the subject of the leading verb; as,-- multi honesta neglegunt dummodo potentiam consequantur, _many neglect honor in their desire to obtain power_ (_if only they may attain_); omnia postposui, dum praeceptis patris parerem, _I made everything else secondary, in my desire to obey the injunctions of my father_; nil obstat tibi, dum ne sit ditior alter, _nothing hinders you in your desire that your neighbor may not be richer than you_. II. They are used to express a _proviso_ ('_provided that_'); as,-- oderint, dum metuant, _let them hate, provided they fear_; manent ingenia senibus, modo permaneat studium et industria, _old men retain their faculties, provided only they retain their interest and vigor_; nubant, dum ne dos fiat comes, _let them marry, provided no dowry goes with it_. Relative Clauses. 311. Relative Clauses are introduced by Relative Pronouns, Adjectives, or Adverbs. 312. 1. Relative clauses usually stand in the Indicative Mood, especially clauses introduced by those General Relatives which are doubled or have the suffix -oumque; as,-- quidquid id est, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, _whatever it is, I fear the Greeks even when they offer gifts;_ quidquid oritur, qualecumque est, causam a natura habet, _whatever comes into being, of whatever sort it is, has its primal cause in Nature._ 2. Any simple Relative may introduce a conditional sentence of any of the three types mentioned in Sec. 302-304; as,-- qui hoc dicit, errat, _he who says this is mistaken_ (First Type); qui hoc dicat, erret, _he would be mistaken who should say this_ (Second Type); qui hoc dixisset, errasset, _the man who had said this would have been mistaken._ INDIRECT DISCOURSE (_ORATIO OBLIQUA_). 313. When the language or thought of any person is reproduced without change, that is called Direct Discourse (_Oratio Recta_); as, _Caesar said, 'The die is cast.'_ When, on the other hand, one's language or thought is made to depend upon a v
