Sublime. There is an occasional use of ‘sublime’ by our earlier poets, a use in which it bears much the meaning of the Greek ὑπερήφανος, or perhaps approaches still more closely to that of μετέωρος, high and lifted up, as with pride; which has now quite departed from it.
For the proud Soldan, with presumptuous cheer
And countenance sublime and insolent,
Sought only slaughter and avengément.
Spenser, Fairy Queen, v. 8, 30.
Their hearts were jocund and sublime,
Drunk with idolatry, drunk with wine.
Milton, Samson Agonistes, 1669.
Sue. One now ‘sues’ or follows another into the courts of law, being, as in the legal language of Greece, ὁ διώκων, the ‘pursuer;’ but ‘to sue’ was once to follow, without any such limitation of meaning.
If thou wolt be perfite, go, and sille alle thingis that thou hast, and come, and sue me.—Matt. xix. 21. Wiclif.
