Rule. After verbs expressive of frar, ne is used with the 

 Eubjunctive of the following verb. Ne is, in Latin, a negative, 

 and may be often rendered by lest; it may, however, in con- 

 struing into English, be altogether dropped, the ordinary con- 

 necting particle that, or that not, being put between the two 

 verbs ; for example 



Timeo ne tibi displiceam, 



I fear lest I should, displease t7iee; that is, 



I fear displeasing thee. 



In this case, the second verb may be considered as the object 

 of the first, as is seen in the second rendering, which is equi- 

 valent to I fear to displease thee. The force may be more clearly 

 seen if the meaning is put into other words. Plainly the im- 

 port of the sentence is, J wish not to displease thee. Take 

 another example : 



Metuo ne Caesar vincat, 



I fear Caesar may conquer; or, 



I wish Ccesar may not conquer. 



After verbs of fearing ut is also employed, but with an 

 import the reverse of that which is given by ne : for example : 

 Metuo ut Caesar vincat, 

 I fear that Ccesar may not conquer ; or, 

 I wish Ccesar may conquer. 



Hence, you see, that in putting similar sentences into English,
