“Rebelled, did I not send them terms of peace,
    Which not my justice, but my mercy asked?”—­Pollok, x, 253.

    “Arm’d with thy might, rid Heav’n of these rebell’d,
    To their prepar’d ill mansion driven down.”—­Milton, vi, 737.

OBS. 7.—­The third participle has most generally been called the Compound, or the Compound perfect.  The latter of these terms seems to be rather objectionable on account of its length; and against the former it may be urged that, in the compound forms of conjugation, the first or imperfect participle is a compound:  as, being writing, being seen.  Dr. Adam calls having loved the perfect participle active, which he says must be rendered in Latin by the pluperfect of the subjunctive; as, he having loved, quum amavisset; (Lat. and Eng.  Gram., p. 140;) but it is manifest that the perfect participle of the verb to love, whether active or passive, is the simple word loved, and not this compound.  Dr. Adam, in fact, if he denies this, only contradicts himself; for, in his paradigms of the English Active Voice, he gives the participles as two only, and both simple, thus:  “Present, Loving; Perfect, Loved:”—­“Present, Having; Perfect, Had.”  So of the Neuter Verb:  “Present, Being; Perfect, Been.”—­Ib., pp. 81 and 82.  His scheme of either names or forms is no model of accuracy.  On the very next page, unless there is a misprint in several editions, he calls the Second participle the “imperfect;” saying, “The whole of the passive voice in English is formed by the auxiliary verb to be, and the participle imperfect; as, I am loved, I was loved, &c.”  Further:  “In many verbs,” he adds, “the present participle also is used in a passive sense; as, These things are doing, were doing, &c.; The house is building, was building, &c.”—­Ib., p. 83.  N. Butler, in his Practical Grammar, of 1845, names, and counts, and orders, the participles very oddly:  “Every verb,” he says, “has two participles—­the imperfect and the perfect.”—­P. 78.  Yet, for the verb love, he finds these six:  two “IMPERFECT, Loving and Being loved;” two “PERFECT, Having loved, and Having been loved;” one “AUXILIARY PERFECT, Loved,” of the “Active Voice;” and one “PASSIVE, Loved,” of the “Passive Voice.”  Many old writers erroneously represent the participle in ing as always active, and the participle in ed or en as always passive; and some, among whom is Buchanan, making no distinction between the simple perfect loved and the compound having loved, place the latter with the former, and call it passive also.  The absurdity of this is manifest:  for having loved or having seen is active; having been or having sat is neuter; and having been loved or having been seen is passive.  Again, the triple compound, having been writing, is active; and having been sitting is neuter; but if one speak of goods as having been selling low, a similar compound is passive.
