“Awake, arise, or be for ever fall’n:”
that is, “Awake ye, &c.”
Every Nominative Case, except the Case Absolute, and when an address is made to a Person, belongs to some Verb, either expressed or implied[60]: as in the answer to a Question; “Who wrote this book; Cicero:” that is, “Cicero wrote it.” Or when the Verb is understood; as, “To whom thus Adam:” that is, spake.
Every Possessive Case supposes some Noun to which it belongs: as when we say, “St. Paul’s, or St. James’s,” we mean St. Paul’s Church, or St. James’s Palace.
Every Adjective has relation to some Substantive, either expressed or implied: as, “The Twelve,” that is, Apostles; “the wife, the elect,” that is, persons.
In some instances the Adjective becomes a Substantive, and has an Adjective joined to it: as, “the chief Good;” “Evil, be Thou my Good!”[61]
Adverbs have no Government.[62]
