cura ut vir sis, see to it that you are a man!

    laborabat ut reliquas civitates adjungeret, he was striving to join
    the remaining states to him.

  a.  Conor, try, always takes the Infinitive.

NOTE.—­Verbs of all the above classes also admit the Infinitive, especially in poetry.

6.  With a few other expressions, such as necesse est, reliquus est, sequitur, licet, oportet; as,—­

    sequitur ut doceam, it remains for me to show;

    licet redeas, you may return;

    oportet loquamur, we must speak.

On the absence of ut with licet and oportet, see paragraph 8.

7.  Here also belong phrases of the type:  nulla causa est cur, quin; non est cur, etc.; nihil est cur, etc.; as,—­

    nulla causa est cur timeam, there is no reason why I should fear
    (originally Deliberative:  why should I fear?  There’s no reason);

    nihil est quin dicam, there is no reason why I should not say.

8.  Many of the above classes of verbs at times take the simple Subjunctive without ut.  In such cases we must not recognize any omission of ut, but simply an earlier form of expression which existed before the ut-clause arose.  This is regularly the case with necesse est, licet, and oportet; see 6.  Other examples are:—­

    eos moneo desinant, I warn them to stop;

    huic imperat adeat civitates, he orders him to visit the states.

B. Substantive Clauses developed from the Optative.

296.  Substantive Clauses Developed from the Optative occur:—­

1.  With verbs of wishing, desiring, especially cupio, opto, volo, malo (conjunctions ut, ne, ut ne); as,—­

opto ut in hoc judicio nemo improbus reperiatur, I hope that in this court no bad man may be found (here ut reperiatur represents a simple optative of direct statement, viz. reperiatur, may no bad man be found!);

    cupio ne veniat, I desire that he may not come.

  a.  The simple Subjunctive (without ut) sometimes occurs with verbs of
  this class. (See Sec. 295, 8.) Examples are:  velim scribas, I wish you
  would write; vellem scripsisset, I wish he had written.

2.  With expressions of fearing (timeo, metuo, vereor, etc.).  Here ne means that, lest, and ut means that not; as,—­

    timeo ne veniat, I fear that he will come (originally:  may he not
    come!  I’m afraid [he will]);

    timeo ut veniat, I fear that he will not come (originally:  may he
    come!  I’m afraid [he won’t]).

  a.  Ne non sometimes occurs instead of ut, especially where the verb of
  fearing has a negative, or where the writer desires to emphasize some
  particular word in the dependent clause; as,—­
