And let us like Horace and Lydia agree:
For thou art a Girl as much brighter than her,
As he was a Poet sublimer than me.”
Prior.
In these passages it ought to be, I, We, He, They, Thou, She, reflectively. Perhaps the following example may admit of a doubt, whether it be properly expressed or not:
“The Lover got a woman of greater fortune than her he had miss’d.” Addison, Guardian Nᵒ 9. Let us try it by the Rule given above; and see, whether some correction will not be necessary, when the parts of the Sentence, which are understood, come to be supplied: “The lover got a woman of a greater fortune, than She [was, whom] he had miss’d.”
“Nor hope to be myself less miserable
By what I seek, but others to make such
As I.”
Milton, P. L. ix. 126.
