Negatives are so easily prefixed to the various tenfes, as hardly to require any further notice here than my barely mentioning that nu may precede every part of a verb, nubeen any but the imperative, and mut this last only.

مارتا

.I do not beat مین نهمین مار تاهون Myn nubeen marta hoon

Nubeen, &c. by the wonderful pliability of the Hindoostanee may occupy any place in fuch fentences without detriment to the fenfe, though their stations, emphafis, and the tone they are expreffed in, as with us, must often determine their meaning to be negative by affertion, or inter- ' rogatively; nay, they may thus become inverfe affirmatives. But this mode of speaking will be better attained from practice than a grammar.

SECTION II.

OF

MOODS

AND TENSES.

I SHALL not explain very minutely here the deduction of every part of the verb from the infinitive, as that hath already been attended to, while we were exhibiting the various tenfes in the preceding pages; but rest satisfied with attempting to illuftrate the application, power, and properties, of each, by a series of examples best adapted to the prefent purpose; that the promifcuous ufage alfo of one tenfe for another, may become as evident as poffible, even before the learner has proceeded fo far as the fyntax, to which for more ample information he muft of courfe refer. The analogy between the present here, and our language, is too confpicuous to escape notice; though it cannot be expected this will always hold good in the particular ufe and energy of the auxiliary or participial form of both; the verb kurna to do, being lefs pliable as a mere emphatic sign than our's, however much it be qualified to fupply the place of another, affift with nouns in the compofition of verbs, or form with, moft preterites, an extenfive clafs, which greatly refemble the Latin frequentatives, as will hereafter appear in the next fections.

Alas, I am pining in fufpenfe! What is become of the messenger, that he hath not yet brought an answer to my letter; O Fighan! I perceived by thy wailing that thou, unhappy man, waft fomewhere bewitched.

So then I die, and the lamp of affection expires; ah, fay when will it be lighted again? Even fire goes out, and the very fun becomes obfcure, while the flame of defire doth glow both night and day. Without a cheering look, my foul continues in darkness, the luftre of beauty being the only luminary in my heart's recefs. How can my ardour decay by any one's counfel, and when will the smiles of fortune ceafe for envy's frowns. Why may not the houfe of mourning be illuminated by me, O Yuqeen! whofe breaft ftill blazes with the bolts of affliction?

My lover will depart with the morn, and thefe eyes fireaming must set in tears; therefore, O Creator! make such a night that the dawn may may never appear.

The above may fuffice to fhow that the prefent of both the indicative and subjunctive moods, have the power alfo of the future tenfe, besides their use as potentials, which a little practice in the language will foon make familiar to all who have properly studied the conjugations. The prefent of the indicative does not always require the auxiliary fign boon, and without it, is just the present participle, which as fuch more strictly, or as a verbal attributive, is fubject to the rules for vocables ending in a, being often found inflected to e, particularly in what is called the abfolute cafe; but the explication of this belongs rather to the fyntax. The learner may form at pleasure the part of the verb now difcuffed, by fubftituting for n of the infinitive; and like this, it is fubject to contraction, with the difference, however, of a reduplication thereof, as the fubfe
