A spider ten feet broad.
An accusative case is sometimes put after adjectives and participles, where the preposition secundum, appears to be understood, as
Os humerosque asello similis:
Like to a cod-fish as to his head and shoulders.
Some men are exceedingly like a cod-fish, as to their head and shoulders, and they often endeavour to increase this natural resemblance as much as possible, by wearing gills.
The Ablative Case after the Adjective.
Adjectives which relate to plenty or want, sometimes require an ablative, sometimes a genitive case, as
Amor et melle et felle est fœcundissimus:
Love is very full both of honey and gall.
The honey of love is—we do not know exactly what. Honey, however, is Latin for love, as the Irishman said.
