OBS. 4.—­Significant words uttered independently, after the manner of interjections, ought in general, perhaps, to be referred to their original classes; for all such expressions may be supposed elliptical:  as, “Order! gentlemen, order!” i.e., “Come to order,”—­or, “Keep order.” “Silence!” i.e., “Preserve silence.” “Out! out!” i.e., “Get out,”—­or, “Clear out!” (See Obs. 5th and 6th, upon Adverbs.)

   “Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley, on! 
    Were the last words of Marmion.”—­Scott.

OBS. 5.—­In some instances, interjections seem to be taken substantively and made nouns; as,

   “I may sit in a corner, and cry hey-ho for a husband.”—­Shak.

So, according to James White, in his Essay on the Verb, is the word fie, in the following example: 

   “If you deny me, fie upon your law.”—­SHAK.:  White’s Verb, p. 163.
