Prepositions.
TWice sixteen Prepositions stand prepar'd, In Front of the Accusatives a Guard.

At the Greek Calends, i.e. never.

Before the eyes.

At Supper.

TWelve Prepositions, like a Jury give Their verdict only for the Ablative.

He is Cup-bearer to the King.

According to my strength.

Face to face. Up to the hilt.

FIve Prepositions equally imbrace The Ablative, and the Accusing Case.

In the open air.

We bend to that which is forbidden.

SOme Prepositions their own Cases meet When they Compound, and some themselves repeat.

Thou shalt passe by none unsaluted.

Come to the sire.
