egit sol hiemem sub terras,

Verg. G. 4, 51:

poemata dulcia sunto Et quocumque volent animum auditoris agunto,

lead the mind, Hor. A. P. 100. —Hence, poet.: se agere, to betake one's self, i. e. to go, to come (in Plaut. very freq.;

also in Ter., Verg., etc.): quo agis te?

where are you going? Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 294:

unde agis te?

id. Most. 1, 4, 28; so id. ib. 3, 1, 31; id. Mil. 3, 2, 49; id. Poen. 1, 2, 120; id. Pers. 4, 3, 13; id. Trin. 4, 3, 71:

quo hinc te agis?

Ecce gubernator sese Palinurus agebat,

was moving along, Verg. A. 6, 337:

Aeneas se matutinus agebat,

id. ib. 8, 465:

is enim se primus agebat,

for he strode on in front, id. ib. 9, 696.—Also without se:

Et tu, unde agis?

Plaut. Bacch. 5, 1, 20:

Quo agis?

id. Pers. 2, 2, 34:

Huc age,

Tib. 2, 5, 2 (unless age is here to be taken with veni at the end of the line).—

To drive or carry off (animals or men), to steal, rob, plunder (usually abigere):

Et redigunt actos in sua rura boves,

Ov. F. 3, 64.—So esp. freq. of men or animals taken as booty in war, while ferre is used of portable things; hence, ferre et agere (as in Gr. agein kai pherein, Hom. Il. 5, 484; and reversed, pherein kai agein, in Hdt. and Xen.; cf.:

rapiunt feruntque,

Verg. A. 2, 374:

rapere et auferre,

Cic. Off. 1, 14), in gen., to rob, to plunder: res sociorum ferri agique vidit, Liv. 22, 3:

ut ferri agique res suas viderunt,

id. 38, 15; so id. 3, 37;

so also: rapere agereque: ut ex alieno agro raperent agerentque,

Liv. 22, 1, 2; but portari atque agi means to bear and carry, to bring together, in Caes. B. C. 2, 29 (as pherein kai agein in Plat. Phaedr. 279, C):

ne pulcram praedam agat,

Plaut. Aul. 4, 2, 3:

urbes, agros vastare, praedas agere,

Sall. J. 20, 8; 32, 3:

pecoris et mancipiorum praedas,

id. ib. 44, 5;

so eccl. Lat.: agere praedas de aliquo,

Vulg. Jud. 9, 16; ib. 1 Reg. 27, 8; cf. Gron. Obs. 3, 22, 633.—

To chase, pursue, press animals or men, to drive about or onwards in flight (for the usual agitare).

Of animals:

apros,

Verg. G. 3, 412:

cervum,

id. A. 7, 481; cf. id. ib. 4, 71:

citos canes,

Ov. H. 5, 20:

feros tauros,

Suet. Claud. 21.—

Of men:

ceteros ruerem, agerem,

Ter. Ad. 3, 2, 21 (= prosequerer, premerem, Don.):

ita perterritos egerunt, ut, etc.,

Caes. B. G. 4, 12:

Demoleos cursu palantis Troas agebat,

Verg. A. 5, 265; cf. id. ib. 1, 574:

aliquem in exsilium,

Liv. 25, 2; so Just. 2, 9, 6; 16, 4, 4; 17, 3, 17;

22, 1, 16 al.: aliquem in fugam,

id. 16, 2, 3.—

Of inanimate or abstract objects, to move, impel, push forwards, advance, carry to or toward any point:

quid si pater cuniculos agat ad aerarium?

lead, make, Cic. Off. 3, 23, 90:

egisse huc Alpheum vias,

made its way, Verg. A. 3, 695:

vix leni et tranquillo mari moles agi possunt,

carry, build out, Curt. 4, 2, 8:

cloacam maximam sub terram agendam,

to be carried under ground, Liv. 1, 56;

so often in the histt., esp. Caes. and Livy, as t. t., of moving forwards the battering engines: celeriter vineis ad oppidum actis,

pushed forwards, up, Caes. B. G. 2, 12 Herz.; so id. ib. 3, 21; 7, 17; id. B. C. 2, 1; Liv. 8, 16:

accelerant acta pariter testudine Volsci,

Verg. A. 9, 505 al.:

fugere colles campique videntur, quos agimus praeter navem, i. e. praeter quos agimus navem,

Lucr. 4, 391:

in litus passim naves egerunt,

drove the ships ashore, Liv. 22, 19:

ratem in amnem,

Ov. F. 1, 500:

naves in advorsum amnem,

Tac. H. 4, 22.— Poet.: agere navem, to steer or direct a ship, Hor. Ep. 2, 1, 114; so,

agere currum,

to drive a chariot, Ov. M. 2, 62; 2, 388 al.—

To stir up, to throw out, excite, cause, bring forth (mostly poet.):

Verg. A. 9, 814:

qui vocem cubantes sensim excitant, eandemque cum egerunt, etc.,

when they have brought it forth, Cic. de Or. 1, 59, 251. —Hence, animam agere, to expel the breath of life, give up the ghost, expire:

agens animam spumat,

Lucr. 3, 493:

anhelans vaga vadit, animam agens,

Cat. 63, 31:

nam et agere animam et efflare dicimus,

Cic. Tusc. 1, 9, 19:

Hortensius, cum has litteras scripsi, animam agebat,

id. Fam. 8, 13, 2; so Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 13:

eodem tempore et gestum et animam ageres,

Cic. Rosc. Com. 8:

Est tanti habere animam ut agam?

Sen. Ep. 101, 12; and with a play upon words: semper agis causas et res agis, Attale, semper. Est, non est, quod agas, Attale, semper agis. Si res et causae desunt, agis, Attale, mulas;

Attale, ne quod agas desit, agas animam,

Mart. 1, 80.—

Of plants, to put forth or out, to shoot, extend:

(salices) gemmas agunt,

Plin. 16, 31, 56, § 127.—Metaph.:

vera gloria radices agit,

Cic. Off. 2, 12, 43:

pluma in cutem radices egerat imas,

Ov. M. 2, 582.

Trop.

Spec., to guide, govern:

Tros Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur,

Verg. A. 1, 574; cf. Forbig. ad h. 1., who considers it the only instance of this use, and compares a similar use of agô; v. L. and S. s. v. II. 2.—

In gen., to move, impel, excite, urge to a thing, to prompt or induce to:

si quis ad illa deus te agat,

Hor. S. 2, 7, 24:

una plaga ceteros ad certamen egit,

To drive, stir up, excite, agitate, rouse vehemently (cf. agito, II.):

me amor fugat, agit,

Plaut. Cist. 2, 1, 8:

agunt eum praecipitem poenae civium Romanorum,

Cic. Verr. 1, 3:

perpetua naturalis bonitas, quae nullis casibus neque agitur neque minuitur,

Nep. Att. 9, 1 Brem.:

opportunitas, quae etiam mediocres viros spe praedae transvorsos agit,

i. e. leads astray, Sall. J. 6, 3; 14, 20; so Sen. Ep. 8, 3.— To pursue with hostile intent, to persecute, disturb, vex, to attack, assail (for the usu. agitare; mostly poet.):

reginam Alecto stimulis agit undique Bacchi,

Verg. A. 7, 405:

non res et agentia (i. e. agitantia, vexantia) verba Lycamben,

Hor. Ep. 1, 19, 25:

acerba fata Romanos agunt,

id. Epod 7, 17:

diris agam vos,

id. ib. 5, 89:

quam deus ultor agebat,

Ov. M. 14, 750:

futurae mortis agor stimulis,

Luc. 4, 517; cf. Matth. ad Cic. Mur. § 21.—

To drive at something, to pursue a course of action, i. e. to make something an object of action; either in the most general sense, like the Engl. do and the Gr. prattein, for every kind of mental or physical employment; or, in a more restricted sense, to exhibit in external action, to act or perform, to deliver or pronounce, etc., so that after the act is completed nothing remains permanent, e. g. a speech, dance, play, etc. (while facere, to make, poiein, denotes the production of an object which continues to exist after the act is completed; and gerere, the performance of the duties of an office or calling).—On these significations, v. Varr. 6, 6, 62, and 6, 7, 64, and 6, 8, 72.—For the more restricted signif. v. Quint. 2, 18, 1 sq.; cf. Manut. ad Cic. Fam. 7, 12; Hab. Syn. 426.

In the most gen. signif., to do, act, labor, in opp. to rest or idleness.

With the gen. objects, aliquid, nihil, plus, etc.:

numquam se plus agere quam nihil cum ageret,

Cic. Rep. 1, 17 (cf. with this, id. Off. 3, 1: numquam se minus otiosum esse quam cum otiosus esset): mihi, qui nihil agit, esse omnino non videtur. id. N. D. 2, 16, 46:

post satietatem nihil (est) agendum,

Cels. 1, 2.—Hence,

Without object:

aliud agendi tempus, aliud quiescendi,

agendi tempora,

Tac. H. 3, 40:

In colloquial lang., to do, to fare, get on: quid agis? what are you doing? M. Tulli, quid agis? Cic. Cat. 1, 11:

Quid agis?

What's your business? Plaut. Stich. 2, 2, 9; also, How goes it with you? How are you? ti pratteis, Plaut. Curc. 2, 1, 20; Cic. Fam. 7, 11 al.; Hor. S. 1, 9, 4:

Plaut. Curc. 5, 3, 29:

nihil agis,

you effect nothing, it is of no use, Ter. Ad. 5, 8, 12:

nihil agis, dolor! quamvis sis molestus, numquam te esse confitebor malum,

Cic. Tusc. 2, 25, 61 Kuhn.; Matius ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 28, 10: cupis, inquit, abire; sed nihil agis;

usque tenebo,

[nihil agis,] nihil assequeris,

sed ita quidam agebat,

was so acting, Cic. Lig. 7, 21: a Burro minaciter actum, Burrus [p. 75] proceeded to threats, Tac. A. 13, 21.—

To pursue, do, perform, transact (the most usual signif. of this word; in all periods; syn.: facere, efficere, transigere, gerere, tractare, curare): cui quod agat institutumst nullo negotio id agit, Enn. ap. Gell. 19, 10, 12 (Trag. v. 254 Vahl.): ut quae egi, ago, axim, verruncent bene, Pac. ap. Non. 505, 23 (Trag. Rel. p. 114 Rib.):

At nihil est, nisi, dum calet, hoc agitur,

Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 92:
