pudet mē tuī, I am ashamed of you (lit. it shames me of you);
paenitet mē hūjus factī, I repent of this act;
eum taedet vītae, he is weary of life;
pauperum tē miseret, you pity the poor.
a. Instead of the Genitive of the thing we often find an Infinitive or Neuter Pronoun used as subject of the verb. Thus;—
mē paenitet hōc fēcisse, I repent of having done this;
mē hōc pudet, I am ashamed of this.
2. Misereor and miserēscō also govern the Genitive; as,—
miserēminī sociōrum, pity the allies.
Interest, Rēfert.
[210]. With interest, it concerns, three points enter into consideration; viz.—
a) the person concerned;
b) the thing about which he is concerned;
c) the extent of his concern.
