discederent. 5. Caesar principes monebit ne proelium committant.

II. 1. Who ordered Caesar to make the march? (_Write this sentence both
with_ /impero\ _and with_ /iubeo\.) 2. The faithless scouts persuaded
him to set out at daybreak. 3. They will ask him not to inflict
punishment. 4. He demanded that they come to the camp. 5. He advised
them to tell everything (omnia).

NOTE. Do not forget that the English infinitive expressing purpose must
be rendered by a Latin subjunctive. Review Sec. 352.

LESSON LXV

THE SUBJUNCTIVE OF _POSSUM_ : VERBS OF FEARING

_369._ Learn the subjunctive of /possum\ (Sec. 495), and note especially
the position of the accent.

_370._ Subjunctive after Verbs of Fearing. We have learned that what
we want done or not done is expressed in Latin by a subjunctive clause
of purpose. In this class belong also _clauses after verbs of fearing_,
for we fear either that something will happen or that it will not, and
we either want it to happen or we do not. If we want a thing to happen
and fear that it will not, the purpose clause is introduced by /ut\. If
we do not want it to happen and fear that it will, /ne:\ is used. Owing
to a difference between the English and Latin idiom we translate /ut\
after a verb of fearing by _that not_, and /ne:\ by _that_ or _lest_.

_371._ EXAMPLES

timeo } { veniat
timebo } ut {
timuero } { venerit

_I fear_, _shall fear_, _shall have feared_, _that he will not come_,
_has not come_

timebam } { veniret
timui } ut {
timueram } { venisset

_I was fearing_, _feared_, _had feared_, _that he would not come_, _had
not come_

The same examples with /ne:\ instead of /ut\ would be translated _I fear
that_ or _lest he will come_, _has come_, etc.

_372._ RULE. Subjunctive after Verbs of Fearing. _Verbs of fearing are
followed by a substantive clause of purpose introduced by /ut\ (that
not) or /ne:\ (that or lest)._

_373._ EXERCISES

I. 1. Caesar verebatur ut supplicium captivorum Gallis placeret.
2. Romani ipsi magnopere verebantur ne Helvetii iter per provinciam
facerent. 3. Timebant ut satis rei
