E.g., Esth. l. 9: . . . _je te fais chercher_ = _que je fais [mes
esclaves] te chercher.
l. 146: _Quand verrai-je relever tes remparts_ = _quand verrai-je [tes
fils] relever tes remparts_.
l. 386: _Sa voix s'est fait entendre_ = _sa voix a fait [nous] entendre
elle-m�me_.
l. 731: _laissant de ses eaux partager le secours_ = _laissant [cette
main] partager le secours de ses eaux_.
For other instances of this construction, see ll. 110, 181, 394, 407,
523.
This construction is possible in English: . . . "for whose sake Artemis
let slay the boar" (Swinburne, Argument of "Atalanta in Calydon.")
NOTE. It should be borne in mind that, should the subject of the
infinitive be expressed, whenever the infinitive is _transitive_, that
subject may (and if the first verb is _faire_, must) be put in the
dative case, or in the oblique case with _par_. Thus in l. 52,
_Il me fit d'un empire accepter l'esp�rance_,
_me_ is dative and not accusative. Similarly in l. 1280,
_Il nous fait remporter une illustre victoire_,
_nous_ is dative.
APPENDIX IV.
QUE, _CONJUNCTIVE AND ADVERBIAL_.
The interrogative pronouns are _Qui?_ = "Who?" or "Whom?" and _quoi?_ =
"What?" the latter having the conjunctive form _que_, which, as is the
case with all conjunctives, must be used in preference to the
disjunctive form, if possible.
i.
The CONJUNCTIVE QUE is used:
_A_. Instead of accusative _quoi_:
Esth. l. 161: _Que nous annoncez-vous?_
l. 593: _Que penses-tu?_
Also ll. 637, 675, 762, 1078, 1104, etc.
In _Que sert?_ (ll. 874 and 333), the _que_ is probably the accus.
conjunctive, due to a confusion in the construction of _servir_. (See
N. to l. 259)
_B_. Instead of nominative _quoi_, when followed by the formal subject
_ce_ or _il_.
E.g., _Qu'est-ce? Qu'est-ce que c'est?_ etc.
Esth. l. 596: _Que sont-ils?_
l. 713: _Que vous semble?_ ( = _Que vous semble-t-il?_)
ii.
QUE is used ADVERBIALLY:
_A_. As an interrogative = "why," followed by _ne_ and no _pas_.
E.g. Esth. l. 558: _Que n'a-t-il plus t�t demand� son salaire?_
Also, but very rarely, in the affirmative.
E.g., l. 523: _Que tardez-vous?_
