e directed to a person addressed.

(1) _Command._

_Call up_ the shades of Demosthenes and Cicero to vouch for your
words; _point_ to their immortal works.--J.Q. ADAMS.

_Honor_ all men; _love_ all men; _fear_ none.--CHANNING.

(2) _Entreaty._

Oh, from these sterner aspects of thy face
_Spare_ me and mine, nor _let_ us need the wrath
Of the mad unchained elements.
--BRYANT.

(3) _Request._

"_Hush_! mother," whispered Kit. "_Come_ along with me."--DICKENS

_Tell_ me, how was it you thought of coming here?--_Id._

[Sidenote: _Sometimes with_ first person _in the plural_.]

But the imperative may be used with the plural of the first person.
Since the first person plural person is not really I + I, but I + you,
or I + they, etc., we may use the imperative with _we_ in a command,
request, etc., to _you_ implied in it. This is scarcely ever found
outside of poetry.

_Part we_ in friendship from your land,
And, noble earl, receive my hand.
--SCOTT.

Then _seek we_ not their camp--for there
The silence dwells of my despair.
--CAMPBELL.

_Break we_ our watch up.--SHAKESPEARE.

Usually this is expressed by _let_ with the objective: "_Let_ us go."
And the same with the third person: "_Let_ him be accursed."
