One of the valet de Chambres of Louis XIV requested that prince, as he was going to bed, to recommend to the first President a lawsuit which he had against his father-in-law, and said in urging him: "Alas; Sire, you have but to say one word." "Well," said Louis XIV, "it is not that which embarrasses me, but tell me, if thou wert in thy father-in-law's place, and thy father-in-law in thine; wouldst thou be glad, if I said that word?"--If the men should come, it would be necessary to give them something to drink--If he could do this he would do that--I have always flattered myself, my dear brother, that you loved me as much as I love you; but I now see that I have been mistaken--I have heard, my sister, that you are angry with me, because I went a-walking without you; but I assure you that had I known that you were not sick, I should have come for you; but I inquired at your physician's after your health, and he told me that you had been keeping your bed the last eight days.

The imperative of the second passive ends by a, and that of the third by i. Their sentences are formed by placing the object in nominative case, and the verb in imperative mood, Ex:

Kill the dog. Patia ang iro.

Put an end to that. Hudta cana.

Help us. Tabangi came.

Write it. Sulata.

Read that book. Basaha canang libro.

Call to Mr. Louis. Taoga si Sr. Louis.

Wait for me. Hulata aco.

Light the globe. Dagcuti ang globo.

It was not met. Uala hiquiti.

Be not turbulent. Ayao pagsamoca.

Cry not to me. Ayao pagsinggiti.

Put not out the candle. Ayao pagpalnga ang candela.

3.a The impersonal imperative of the passive of an, is not compounded with the particle Pag, Ex:

Pay what you owe, and comfort Bayri ang mga utang nino ug lipayon the afflicted. nino ang mga tao nga ana-a sa calisud.

Love God and your neighbour as Higugmaon nino ang Dios ng ang yourselves. isigcatao nino maingon canino.

Let us love and practise virtue, Higugmaon ug buhaton ta ang and we shall be happy both in catarungan ug mapaladan quita niini this life and in the next. ug sa umalabut nga quinabuhi.
