Bene or male alicui velle, to wish one well or ill, to like or dislike one (ante-class. and poet.): Ph. Bene volt tibi. St. Nequam est illud verbum bene volt, nisi qui bene facit, Plaut. Trin. 2, 4, 37 sq.:

jam diu ego huic bene et hic mihi volumus,

id. Ps. 1, 3, 4:

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

utinam sic sient qui mihi male volunt,

Ter. Eun. 4, 3, 13:

id. Most. 1, 4, 24.—And bene velle = velle: bene volueris in precatione augurali Messalla augur ait, significare volueris, Fest. s. v. bene sponsis, p. 351.—

With abl.: alicujus causa velle, to like one for his own sake, i. e. personally, a Ciceronian phrase, probably inst. of omnia alicujus causa velle; lit. to wish every thing (i.e. good) in somebody's behalf.

With omnia expressed: etsi mihi videor intellexisse cum tecum de re M. Annaeii locutus sum, te ipsius causa vehementer omnia velle, tamen, etc.... ut non dubitem quin magnus cumulus accedat commenda tionis meae, Cic. Fam. 13, 55, 1:

id. Fam. 13, 22, 1.—

Without omnia:

per eos qui nostra causa volunt, valentque apud illum,

Cic. Att. 11, 8, 1:

sed et Phameae causa volebam,

id. ib. 13, 49, 1:

etsi te ipsius Attici causa velle intellexeram,

id. ib. 16, 16, A, 6:

valde enim ejus causa volo,

id. Fam. 16, 17, 2 fin.:

illud non perficis quo minus tua causa velim,

id. ib. 3, 7, 6;

12, 7, 1: si me velle tua causa putas,

id. ib. 7, 17, 2:

regis causa si qui sunt qui velint,

id. ib. 1, 1, 1:

credo tua causa velle Lentulum,

id. Q. Fr. 1, 4, 5; id. Div. in Caecil. 6, 21; cf. id. Imp. Pomp. (v. C. 1. b. supra), where the phrase has its literal meaning; cf. also: alicujus causa (omnia) cupere; v. cupio.—

With acc. and subjunct. per ecthesin (ante-class.): nunc ego illum meum virum veniat velim (by mixture of constructions: meum virum velim; and:

I nill I will, I will I nill again, Ter. Phorm. 5, 8, 57: novi ingenium mulierum: Nolunt ubi velis, ubi nolis cupiunt ultro, they will not where you will, etc., id. Eun. 4, 7, 43:

quis est cui velle non liceat?

who is not free to wish? Cic. Att. 7, 11. 2:

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:

sed ego hoc ipsum velle miserius duco quam in crucem tolli,

that very wishing, Cic. Att. 7, 11, 2: inest enim velle in carendo, the word carere implies the notion of a wish, id. Tusc. 1, 36, 88:

velle ac posse in aequo positum erat,

his will and power were balanced, Val. Max. 6, 9, ext. 5:

velle tuum nolo, Didyme, nolle volo,

Mart. 5, 83, 2:

velle suum cuique est,

each has his own likings, Pers. 5, 53.

In partic.

Redundant, when the will to do is identified with the act itself.

In imperative sentences.

nolite igitur id velle quod fieri non potest,

id. Phil. 7, 8, 25: qui timor bonis omnibus injectus sit... nolite a me commoneri velle, do not wish, expect, to be reminded by me, etc., id.

noli adversum eos me velle ducere, etc.,

Nep. Att. 4, 2.—

Ne velis or ne velit fecisse = ne feceris, or ne facito (v. I. A. 3. a. supra).—So ne velis with pres. inf.:

neve, revertendi liber, abesse velis (= neve abfueris),

Ov. H. 1, 80.—

In affirmative imperative sentences (velim esse = esto;

rare): tu tantum fida sorori Esse velis (= fida esto or sis),

id. P. 1, 7, 8:

credere modo qui discet velit (= credat qui discet),

Quint. 8, prooem. 12. —

legati Sullam orant ut filii innocentis fortunas conservatas velit (virtually = fortunas conservet),

Cic. Rosc. Am. 9, 25:

a te peto ut utilitatem sociorum per te quam maxime defensam et auctam velis (= defendas et augeas),

id. Fam. 13, 9, 3.—So after utinam or ut:

utinam illi qui prius eum viderint me apud eum velint adjutum tantum quantum ego vellem si quid possem (= utinam illi me adjuvent quantum ego adjuvarem, etc.),

id. Att. 11, 7, 7:

cautius ut saevo velles te credere Marti (= utinam te credidisses),

Verg. A. 11, 153:

edictum praemittit ad quam diem magistratus... sibi esse praesto Cordubae vellet (= sibi praesto essent),

Caes. B. C. 1, 19 (cf. also I. B. 9. b. b, and I. B. 2. fin. supra).—

In conditional clauses, si facere velim = si faciam, often rendered by the potential or future auxiliaries would or will:

non tu scis, Bacchae bacchanti si velis advorsarier, ex insana insaniorem facies? (= si advorseris),

Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 80:

Velim, as potential subjunctive (mostly in 1 st pers. sing., as subjunctive of modest statement), = volo, I wish, I should like.

With verb in the second person.

With pres. subj., so most frequently in Cic.

As a modest imperative of the dependent verb: velim facias = fac, I wish you would do it, please do it:

ego quae in rem tuam sint, ea velim facias,

Ter. Phorm. 2, 4, 9:

eas (litteras) in eundem fasciculum velim addas,

Cic. Att. 12, 53:

The other persons of velim in potential use (rare).

quoniam non potest fieri quod vis, Id velis quod possit,

Ter. And. 2, 1, 6:

atque aliquos tamen esse velis tibi, alumna, penates,

Verg. Cir. 331.—

Declaratively with indef. subj.: quom inopia'st, cupias; quando ejus copia'st, tum non velis, then you (i.e. people, they) do not want it, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 45.—

Redundant, as a form of the imperative of the dependent verb, Ov. Am. 1, 4, 38 (v. I. A. 3. a. b); id. H. 1, 80 (v. II. A. 1. b.); id. M. 2, 746 (v. II. A. 1. c.).—

Velit.

Modestly for vult:

te super aetherias licentius auras Haud pater ille velit, etc.,

Verg. A. 7, 558: nemo enim minui velit id in quo maximus fuit, would like that to be diminished in which, etc., Quint. 12, 11, 6; cf. Verg. A. 2, 104, and Ov. H. 9, 7 (v. I. E. 1. c. supra).— So, poet., instead of vellet with perf. inf.:

ut fiat, quid non illa dedisse velit?

Ov. Am. 2, 17, 30.—

= 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).—

Velimus.

In the optative sense of velim:

sed scire velimus quod tibi nomen siet,

Plaut. Pers. 4, 6, 18.—

With imperative sense (= let us, we should, etc.), Quint. 6, 3, 28 (v. I. A. 2. d. supra).—

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

novos consules ita cum Samnite gerere bellum velitis ut omnia ante nos bella gesta sunt,

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.:

velitis jubeatis ut quod Cicero versum fecerit,

Cic. Pis. 29, 72.—So in oblique discourse, vellent juberent:

rogationem promulgavit, vellent juberent Philippo... bellum indici,

Liv. 31, 6, 1:

vellent juberentne se regnare,

id. 1, 46, 1; cf.

in the resolution of the people: plebis sic jussit: quod senatus... censeat, id volumus jubemusque,

id. 26, 33, 14.—

Velint, optative and redundant, Cic. Att. 11, 7, 7 (v. II. A. 1. d.); Ov. P. 1, 7, 8 (v. II. A. 1. 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.

nunc ego Triptolemi cuperem conscendere currus... Nunc ego Medeae vellem frenare dracones... Nunc ego jactandas optarem sumere pennas, etc.,

Ov. Tr. 3, 8, 1 sqq.— [p. 2010] Rarely, I should have liked:

tum equidem istuc os tuum inpudens videre nimium vellem!

Ter. Eun. 3, 5, 49.—And in conditional sense:

maerorem minui: dolorem nec potui, nec, si possem, vellem (i. e. minuere),

Cic. Att. 12, 28, 2:

certe ego, si sineres, titulum tibi reddere vellem,

Ov. Tr. 4, 5, 13:

sic nec amari quidem vellem (i. e. if I were in his place),

Sen. Ira, 1, 20, 4.—

quam vellem de his etiam oratoribus tibi dicere luberet,

I wish you would please, id. Brut. 71, 248.—

With subj. pluperf., I wish you had:

vellem Idibus Martiis me ad cenam invitasses,

Cic. Fam. 12, 4, 1:

quam vellem te ad Stoicos inclinavisses,

id. Fin. 3, 3, 10:

vellem suscepisses juvenem regendum,

Cic. Att. 9, 19, 2: tris eos libros maxime nunc vellem: apti essent ad id quod cogito, I would like to have (cf. I. E. 1. a.), id. ib. 13, 22, 2.—

In the other persons of vellem (mostly poet.).

Of an indefinite subject:

velles eum (Senecam) suo ingenio dixisse, alieno judicio,

Quint. 10, 1, 130.—

Vellet.

In the potential sense of vellem: vellet abesse quidem;

sed adest. Velletque videre, Non etiam sentire canum fera facta suorum,

Ov. M. 3, 247.—

Conditionally:

quis vellet tanti nuntius esse mali (i. e. if in this situation)?

Ov. H. 12, 146.—

Vellent.

In the potential sense of vellem:

quam vellent aethere in alto Nunc of pauperiem et duros perferre labores!

Verg. A. 6, 436.—

Conditionally: nec superi vellent hoc licuisse sibi, would wish, i. e. if in this situation, Mart. 4, 44, 8.

Volam and voluero.

In gen.: respiciendus erit sermo stipulationis, utrumne talis sit: quem voluero, an quem volam. Nam si talis fuerit quem voluero, cum semel elegerit, mutare voluntatem non poterit;

si vero... quem volam, donec judicium dictet, mutandi potestatem habebit,

Dig. 45, 1, 112.—

Volam in principal sentences.

= Engl. future, I shall wish, etc.:

et commeminisse hoc ego volam te,

I shall require you to recollect this, Plaut. Curc. 4, 2, 7: cum omnia habueris, tunc habere et sapientiam voles? will you also wish to have wisdom when? etc., Sen. Ep. 17, 8.—

Denoting present probability: et scilicet jam me hoc voles patrem exorare, ut, etc., you doubtless wish me, etc., Ter. Heaut. 4, 3, 27.—

In clauses dependent on predicates implying a future, generally rendered by an English present:

quid si sors aliter quam voles evenerit?

otherwise than as you wish, Plaut. Cas. 2, 5, 35:

tum te, si voles, cum patriae quod debes solveris, satis diu vixisse dicito,

then if you choose, if you will, Cic. Marcell. 9, 27:

decedes cum voles,

Si vis, parenthetically.

If you please (cf. sis, supra init.):

Socratem): Hujus enim (i. e. Catonis, of the former) facta, illius (i. e. Socratis) dicta laudantur, Cic. Lael. 2, 10; id. Rosc. Com. 2, 7:
