NATURE BOUNTIFUL.--AKENSIDE.
--Nature's care, to all her children just,
With richest treasures, and an ample state,
Endows at large whatever happy man
Will deign to use them.
TRANSPOSED.
Nature's care, which is just to all her children, largely endows, with
richest treasures and an ample state, that happy man who will deign to
use them.
NOTE. _What_, in the second example, is a comp. rel. The antecedent
part is gov. by _teach_ understood; and the relative part by _to
feel_ expressed. _To shun_ and _to pursue_, in the third example,
are in the infinitive mood, gov. by _than_, according to a NOTE
under Rule 23. _Faint_ and _from_, in the 5th example, are adverbs.
An adverb, in poetry, is often written in the form of an adjective.
_Whatever_, in the last sentence, is a compound pronoun, and is
equivalent to _that_ and _who. That_ is an adj. pron. belonging to
"man;" _who_ is nom. to "will deign;" and _ever_ is excluded from
the sentence in sense. See page 113. Parse these examples as they
are transposed, and you will find the analysis very easy.
