UNDER RULE XV.—­OF INTERJECTIONS.

“Behold he is in the desert.”—­SCOTT’S BIBLE:  Matt., xxiv, 26.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the interjection Behold, which has usually a comma after it in Scripture, has here no point.  But, according to Rule 15th, “Interjections that require a pause, though more commonly emphatic and followed by the ecphoneme, are sometimes set off by the comma.”  In this instance, a comma should be used; thus, “Behold, he is in the desert.”—­Common Bible.]

“And Lot said unto them, Oh not so my Lord.”—­SCOTT’S BIBLE:  Gen., xix, 18.  “Oh let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.”—­SCOTT:  Gen., xix, 20.  “Behold!  I come quickly.—­BIBLE.”—­Day’s Gram., p. 74.  “Lo!  I am with you always.”—­Day’s Gram., pp. 10 and 73.  “And lo!  I am with you always.”—­Ib., pp. 78 and 110.  “And lo, I am with you alway.”—­SCOTT’S BIBLE, and BRUCE’S:  Matt., xxviii, 20.  “Ha! ha! ha! how laughable that is.”—­Bullions, Pract.  Les., p. 83.  “Interjections of Laughter,—­Ha! he! hi! ho!”—­Wright’s Gram., p. 121.

UNDER RULE XVI.—­OF WORDS REPEATED.

“Lend lend your wings!  I mount!  I fly!”—­Example varied.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the repeated word lend has here no comma.  But, according to Rule 16th, “A word emphatically repeated, is generally set off by the comma.”  In this instance, a comma is required after the former lend, but not after the latter; thus,

   “Lend, lend your wings!  I mount!  I fly!”—­Pope’s Poems, p. 317.

“To bed to bed to bed.  There is a knocking at the gate.  Come come come.  What is done cannot be undone.  To bed to bed to bed.”—­See Burgh’s Speaker, p. 130.  “I will roar, that the duke shall cry, Encore encore let him roar let him roar once more once more.”—­See ib., p. 136.

   “Vital spark of heav’nly flame,
    Quit oh quit this mortal frame.”—­Hiley’s Gram., p. 126.

    “Vital spark of heav’nly flame,
    Quit, oh quit, this mortal frame!”—­Bullions, E. Gr., p. 172.

    “O the pleasing pleasing Anguish,
    When we love, and when we languish.”—­Ward’s Gram., p. 161.

    “Praise to God immortal praise
    For the love that crowns our days!”—­Hiley’s Gram., p. 124.
