Ye who were dead, hath he quickened.
_Ye_, in the nominative case, is erroneous, because it is the object of
the action expressed by the transitive verb "hath quickened;" and
therefore it should be _you_, in the objective case. _You_ would then be
governed by "hath quickened," agreeably, to Rule 20. _Active-transitive
verbs govern the objective case_.
Who did they entertain so freely?
They who opulence has made proud, and who luxury has corrupted,
cannot relish the simple pleasures of nature.

She that is negligent, reprove sharply.
