II.
Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.

12 Per quae neutrum licet, nec tanquam in bello parātum esse, nec tanquam in pace secūrum

Вследствие чего невозможно ни быть наготове, словно на войне, ни быть беспечным, как в мирное время.

Сенека, "О спокойствии душевном", I, 1: Inquirenti mihi in me quaedam vitia apparebant, Seneca, in aperto posita, quae manu prehenderem, quaedam obscuriora et in recessu, quaedam non continua, sed ex intervallis redeuntia, quae vel molestissima dixerim, un hostes vagos et ex occasionibus assilientes, per quos neutrum licet, in bello paratum esse, nec tanquam in pace securum. "Углубляясь в размышления, Сенека, я находил в себе некоторые пороки явно ощутимые, иные - затененные и притаившиеся, иные - не постоянные, а перемежающиеся, и эти последние я назвал бы наиболее тягостными, как врагов блуждающих и нападающих от случая к случаю, которые не позволяют быть ни всегда готовым - как на войне, ни спокойным - как в мирное время".

Поскольку общества в своих отношениях сохраняют природную независимость, а индивиды подчинены и законам и людям, то возникает вопрос, не страдают ли последние от этой двойной подчиненности; и не лучше ли было бы для человечества, если бы на свете не существовало никаких гражданских обществ. Не эта ли двойственность составляет то, per quod neutrum licet, nec tanquam in bello paratum esse, nec tanquam in pace securum. (Жан-Жак Руссо, Эмиль, или о воспитании.)

In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.

Transf. When licet introduces a subordinate proposition, which makes a concession, without abandoning the main proposition, it is used as a conjunction corresponding to quamvis, quamquam, etsi. In late Latin it is, like these, connected with the indicative, and in the class. per. it is not unfreq. opposed to tamen and certe in the main proposition; even if, although, notwithstanding.

ut tibi, dum vivam, bene velim plus quam mihi,

in magnis et voluisse sat est,
Prop. 2, 10 (3, 1), 6:
tarde velle nolentis est,
slow ness in consenting betrays the desire to refuse, Sen. Ben. 2, 5, 4:
quae (animalia) nullam injuriam nobis faciunt, quia velle non possunt, id. Ira, 2, 26, 4: ejus est nolle qui potest velle,
the power to assent implies the power to dissent, Dig. 50, 17, 3.—So velle substantively:

atque aliquos tamen esse velis tibi, alumna, penates,

Ov. Am. 2, 17, 30.—
(β).
= imperative of third person:
arma velit, poscatque simul rapiatque juventus,
Verg. A. 7, 340.—Redundantly, giving to the dependent verb the force of an imperative, Quint. 8, prooem. 12 (v. II. A. 1. c. supra; v. also I. A. 3. a. supra).—

Velitis = velim velitis (i. e. jubeatis, jubete):

Liv. 9, 8, 10.—So especially in velitis jubeatis, a formula in submitting a law to the votes of the people in the comitia centuriata or tributa, let it be resolved and ordered by you:
rogatus in haec verba populus: velitis jubeatisne haec sic fieri, si respublica populi Romani Quiritium, etc.,
Liv. 22, 10, 2:
velitis jubeatis, Quirites... uti de ea re Ser. Sulpicius praetor urbanus ad senatum referat, etc.,
id. 38, 54, 3.—And parodied by Cic.:

rogationem promulgavit, vellent juberent Philippo... bellum indici,
Liv. 31, 6, 1:
vellent juberentne se regnare,
id. 1, 46, 1; cf.

id. 26, 33, 14.—
e.
Velint, optative and redundant, Cic. Att. 11, 7, 7 (v. II. A. 1. d.); Ov. P. 1, 7, 8 (v. II. A. 1. c.).
C.
Vellem, as potential subjunctive, I wish, should like, should have liked, representing the wish as contrary to fact, while velim refers to a wish which may be realized:
de Menedemo vellem verum fuisset, de regina velim verum sit,
Cic. Att. 15, 4, 4. It is not used with imperative force; cf.:
quod scribis, putare te... vellem scriberes, cur ita putares... tu tamen velim scribas,
Cic. Att. 11, 24, 5.—Often quam vellem, how I wish, i. e. I wish very much; and in the same sense: nimium vellem, v. infra.
1.
With verb in first person.
a.
With inf. pres., I wish, would like, referring to present or future actions:
