audes Fatidicum fallere velle deum?

do you dare attempt? Ov. F. 2, 262.—

To mean, of actions and expressions:

hic respondere voluit, non lacessere,

the latter meant to answer, not to provoke, Ter. Phorm. prol. 19:

non te judices urbi sed carceri reservarunt, neque to retinere in civitate, sed exilio privare voluerunt,

Cic. Att. 1, 16, 9.—So, volo dicere, I mean (lit. I intend to say):

quid aliud volui dicere?

Ter. Eun. 3, 2, 51:

volo autem dicere, illud homini longe optimum esse quod ipsum sit optandum per se,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 20, 46.—Often with the acc. illud or id, as a correction: Tr. Specta quam arcte dormiunt. Th. Dormiunt? Tr. Illut quidem ut conivent volui dicere, I mean how they nod, Plaut. Most. 3, 2, 145: Py. Quid? bracchium? Ar. Illud dicere volui femur, id. Mil. 1, 1, 27:

id. Rep. 1, 12, 18:

qui cum opem ferre vellet, nuntiatum sibi esse aliam classem ad Aegates insulas stare,

Liv. 22, 56, 7:

at Libys obstantes dum vult obvertere remos, In spatium resilire manus breve vidit,

Ov. M. 3, 676; 1, 635:

P. Claudius cum proelium navale committere vellet,

Will, and in oblique discourse and questions would, the auxiliaries of the future and potential: animum advortite: Comediai nomen dari vobis volo, I will give you, etc., Plaut. Cas. prol. 30:

sed, nisi molestum est, nomen dare vobis volo comediai,

id. Poen. prol. 50:

vos ite intro. Interea ego ex hac statua verberea volo erogitare... quid sit factum,

uti tamen tuo consilio volui,

still I concluded to follow your advice, Cic. Att. 8, 3, 1.—

To be willing, ready, to consent, like to do something: si sine bello velint rapta... tradere... se exercitum domum reducturum, if they were willing, would consent to, would deliver, etc., Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 52:

is dare volt, is se aliquid posci,

Suet. Caes. 68:

dedere etiam se volebant, si toleranda viris imperarentur,

heri nemo voluit Sostratam intro admittere,

Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 49:

cum alter verum audire non vult,

Cic. Lael. 26, 98: a proximis quisque minime anteiri vult, likes least to be surpassed, etc., Liv. 6, 34, 7:

nihil ex his praeter... accipere voluit,

refused to accept, Val. Max. 4, 3, 4.—

To do something voluntarily or intentionally: volo facere = mea voluntate or sponte facio: si voluit accusare, pietati tribuo;

si jussus est, necessitati,

if he accused of his own free will, I ascribe it to his filial love, Cic. Cael. 1, 2:

utrum statuas voluerint tibi statuere, an coacti sint,

With perfect infinitive active (rare).

In negative imperative sentences dependent on ne velis, ne velit (in oblique discourse also ne vellet), where ne velis has the force of noli. The perfect infinitive emphatically represents the action as completed (ante-class. and poet.).

In ancient ordinances of the Senate and of the higher officers (not in laws proper): NEIQVIS EORVM BACANAL HABVISE VELET... BACAS VIR NEQVIS ADIESE VELET CEIVIS ROMANVS... NEVE PECVNIAM QVISQVAM EORVM COMOINEM HABVISE VELET... NEVE... QVIQVAM FECISE VELET. NEVE INTER SED CONIOVRASE, NEVE COMVOVISE NEVE CONSPONDISE, etc., S. C. de Bacch. 4-13 ap. Wordsworth, Fragm. and Spec. p. 172.—So, in quoting such ordinances: per totam Italiam edicta mitti ne quis qui Bacchis initiatus esset, coisse aut convenisse causa sacrorum velit. [p. 2006] neu quid talis rei divinae fecisse, Liv. 39, 14, 8:

Ov. Am. 1, 4, 38:

ne quis humasse velit Ajacem, Atride, vetas? Cur?

sunt delicta tamen quibus ignovisse velimus (= volumus),

which should be pardoned, Hor. A. P. 347.—

To represent the will as referring to a completed action.

In optative sentences with vellem or velim, v. II. B. 5. b. a, and II. C. 1. b.—

In other sentences ( poet. and post-class.): ex omnibus praediis ex quibus non hac mente recedimus ut omisisse possessionem velimus, with the will to abandon (omittere would denote the purpose to give up at some future time), Dig. 43, 16, 1, § 25; so,

an erit qui velle recuset Os populi meruisse?

Pers. 1, 41:

qui me volet incurvasse querela,

id. 1, 91.

Of the will of superiors, gods, etc. (cf. A. 1. b. supra), I want, it is my will:

me absente neminem volo intromitti,

Plaut. Aul. 1, 3, 21:

viros nostros quibus tu voluisti esse nos matres familias,

id. Stich. 1, 2, 41; id. Most. 1, 4, 2; id. Rud. 4, 5, 9; id. Trin. 1, 2, 1:

id. Univ. 10; cf. id. Sest. 69, 147; id. Verr. 2, 4, 25, § 57; 1, 5, 14:

causa mittendi fuit quod iter per Alpes... patefieri volebat,

quippe (senatus) foedum hominem a republica procul esse volebat,

Sall. C. 19, 2:

nec (di) patefieri (crimina) ut impunita essent, sed ut vindicarentur voluerunt,

Liv. 39, 16, 11; cf. id. 1, 56, 3; 2, 28, 5; 25, 32, 6:

senatus... Romano sanguini pudicitiam tutam esse voluit,

Val. Max. 6, 1, 9; cf. id. 6, 9, 2.—So in the historians: quid fieri vellet (velit), after a verbum imperandi or declarandi, he gave his orders, explained his will:

quid fieri velit praecipit,

Caes. B. G. 5, 56:

ibi quid fieri vellet imperabat,

id. ib. 7, 16:

quid fieri vellet edixit,

Curt. 8, 10, 30; 4, 13, 24; Val. Max. 7, 4, 2.— Frequently majores voluerunt, it was the will of our ancestors, referring to ancient customs and institutions:

sacra Cereris summa majores nostri religione confici caerimoniaque voluerunt,

Cic. Balb. 24, 55: majores vestri ne vos quidem temere coire voluerunt, cf. id. ib. 17, 39; 23, 54; id. Agr. 2, 11, 26; id. Fl. 7, 15; id. Imp. Pomp. 13, 39; id. Div. 1, 45, 103; id.

Except in the institution of the first heir: at illa (institutio) non est comprobata: Titum heredem esse volo, Gai Inst. 2, 117. —

Of the intention of a writer, etc., to want, to mean, intend:

Asinariam volt esse (nomen fabulae) si per vos licet,

Plaut. As. prol. 12:

Plautus hanc mihi gnatam esse voluit Inopiam,

has wanted Poverty to be my daughter, made her my daughter, id. Trin. prol. 9:

primumdum huic esse nomen Diphilus Cyrenas voluit,

id. Rud. prol. 33:

si non hoc intellegi volumus,

id. Fat. 18, 41:

quale intellegi vult Cicero cum dicit orationem suam coepisse canescere,

Quint. 11, 1, 31; so id. 9, 4, 82; 9, 3, 9:

quamquam illi (Prometheo) quoque ferreum anulum dedit antiquitas vinculumque id, non gestamen, intellegi voluit,

Caes. B. G. 1, 45:

tu Macedonas tibi voluisti genua ponere, venerarique te ut deum,

Curt. 8 (7), 13.— Hence,

To order, command: erus meus tibi me salutem multam voluit dicere, has ordered me, etc., Plaut. Ps. 4, 2, 25:

montem quem a Labieno occupari voluerit,

which he had ordered to be occupied, Caes. B. G. 1, 22:

ibi futuros esse Helvetios ubi eos Caesar... esse voluisset,

id. ib. 1, 13 (for velitis jubeatis with inf.-clause, v. II. B. 5. d.).—

To consent, allow (cf. A. 1. I.):

obtinuere ut (tribuni) tribuniciae potestatis vires salubres vellent reipublicae esse,

they prevailed upon them to permit the tribunitian power to be wholesome to the republic, Liv. 2, 44, 5:

Hiero tutores... puero reliquit quos precatus est moriens ut juvenum suis potissimum vestigiis insistere vellent,

id. 24, 4, 5:

Dig. 43, 3, 1, § 15.—So negatively = not to let, not to suffer:

cum P. Attio agebant ne sua pertinacia omnium fortunas perturbari vellet,

Caes. B. C. 2, 36.—

haud ita vitam agerent ut nunc plerumque videmus Quid sibi quisque velit nescire,

be ignorant as to their own aims and purposes, Lucr. 3, 1058.—

What do you mean? what do you drive at? what is your scope, object, drift (rare in post-Aug. writers; Don. ad Ter. Eun. prol. 45, declares it an archaism).

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,

id. Cas. 2, 8, 30:

egone illi ut non bene vellem?

atque isti etiam parum male volo,

id. Truc. 5, 7; cf. id. As. 5, 1, 13:

utinam sic sient qui mihi male volunt,

Ter. Eun. 4, 3, 13:

non sibi male vult,

he does not dislike himself, Petr. 38; so, melius or optime alicui velle, to like one better or best:

nec est quisquam mihi aeque melius quoi vellem,

Plaut. Capt. 3, 5, 42; id. Merc. 5, 2, 57:

illi ego ex omnibus optime volo,

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:

repente coepit dicere, se omnia Verris causa velle,

that he had the most friendly disposition towards Verres, id. Verr. 2, 2, 26, § 64:

accedit eo quod Varro magnopere ejus causa vult omnia,

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:

meus vir veniat velim),

Plaut. Cas. 3, 2, 29:

nunc ego Simonidem mi obviam veniat velim,

id. Ps. 4, 5, 10:

nimis hercle ego illum corvum ad me veniat velim,

Velle used absolutely, variously rendered to will, have a will, wish, consent, assent:

quod vos, malum... me sic ludificamini? Nolo volo, volo nolo rursum,

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.

In independent sentences introduced by noli velle, where noli has lost the idea of volition:

nolite, judices, hunc velle maturius exstingui vulnere vestro quam suo fato,

do not resolve, Cic. Cael. 32, 79:

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. Mur. 25, 50: nolite hunc illi acerbum nuntium velle perferri, let it not be your decision that, etc., id. Balb. 28, 64: cujus auspicia pro vobis experti nolite adversus vos velle experiri, do not desire, etc., Liv. 7, 40, 16:

noli adversum eos me velle ducere, etc.,

Nep. Att. 4, 2.—

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

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:

si meum Imperium exsequi voluisset, interemptam oportuit (= si executus esset),

Ter. Heaut. 4, 1, 22:

With inf.-clause:

ne ego nunc mihi modium mille esse argenti velim!

id. Tusc. 1, 6, 13:

quare te, ut polliceris, videre plane velim,

id. Att. 11, 9, 3:

Plaut. As. 2, 2, 8:

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.

With inf. pres., I wish, would like, referring to present or future actions:

videre equidem vos vellem, cum huic aurum darem,

vellem equidem idem posse gloriari quod Cyrus,

Cic. Sen. 10, 32:

vellem equidem vobis placere, Quirites, sed, etc.,

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.—

With perf. inf., I wish I had:

abiit, vah! Rogasse vellem,

I wish I had asked him, Ter. Heaut. 5, 2, 25:

maxime vellem semper tecum fuisse,

Cic. Att. 8, 11, D, 5:

quam vellem petisse ab eo quod audio Philippum impetrasse,

id. ib. 10, 4, 10:

non equidem vellem, quoniam nocitura fuerunt, Pieridum sacris imposuisse manum,

Ov. Tr. 4, 1, 27:

ante equidem summa de re statuisse, Latini, Et vellem, et fuerat melius,

Verg. A. 11, 303. —

With inf.-clause, the predicate being a perf. part. (v. I. B. 9. b. b, supra):

virum me natam vellem,

would I had been born a man! Ter. Phorm. 5, 3, 9.—

With subj. imperf. (rare):

quam vellem, Panaetium nostrum nobiscum haberemus,

Cic. Rep. 1, 10, 15.—

With subj. imperf. (the regular construction):

hodie igitur me videbit, ac vellem tum tu adesses,

I wish you could be present, Cic. Att. 13, 7, 2:

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,

id. Att. 10, 6, 2:

quam vellem Bruto studium tuum navare potuisses,

id. ib. 15, 4, 5.—

tu vellem ne veritus esses ne parum libenter legerem tuas litteras,
