With acc. and subjunct. per ecthesin (ante-class.): nunc ego illum meum virum veniat velim (by mixture of constructions: meum virum velim; and: meus vir veniat velim),Plaut. Cas. 3, 2, 29: nunc ego Simonidem mi obviam veniat velim,id. Ps. 4, 5, 10: nimis hercle ego illum corvum ad me veniat velim,id.

,Pers. 5, 53. In partic. Redundant, when the will to do is identified with the act itself. In imperative sentences. In independent sentences introduced by noli velle, where noli has lost the idea of volition: nolite, judices, hunc velle maturius exstingui vulnere vestro quam suo fato,
do not resolve
,Cic. Cael. 32, 79: nolite igitur id velle quod fieri non potest,id.

Am. 9, 25: a te peto ut utilitatem sociorum per te quam maxime defensam et auctam velis (= defendas et augeas),id. Fam. 13, 9, 3.

In declarative sentences. Volo in 1st pers. with perf. pass. inf. or part. (volo oratum esse or oratum = oro; v. I.

Velim, as potential subjunctive (mostly in 1st pers. sing., as subjunctive of modest statement), = volo, I wish, I should like. With verb in the second person. With pres. subj., so most frequently in Cic. As a modest imperative of the dependent verb: velim facias = fac, I wish you would do it, please do it: ego quae in rem tuam sint, ea velim facias,Ter. Phorm. 2, 4, 9: eas (litteras) in eundem fasciculum velim addas,Cic.

Imperatively = cupito: quoniam non potest fieri quod vis, Id velis quod possit,Ter. And. 2, 1, 6: atque aliquos tamen esse velis tibi, alumna, penates,Verg. Cir. 331. Declaratively with indef. subj.: quom inopia'st, cupias; quando ejus copia'st, tum non velis, then you (i.e. people, they) do not want it, Plaut. Trin. 3, 2, 45. Redundant, as a form of the imperative of the dependent verb, Ov. Am. 1, 4, 38 (v. I. A. 3. a. β); id. H. 1, 80 (v. II. A. 1. b.); id. M. 2, 746 (v. II. A. 1. c.). Velit. Modestly for vult: te super aetherias licentius auras Haud pater ille velit, etc.,Verg. A. 7, 558: nemo enim minui velit id in quo maximus fuit, would like that to be diminished in which, etc., Quint. 12, 11, 6; cf. Verg. A. 2, 104, and Ov. H. 9, 7 (v. I. E. 1. c. supra). So, poet., instead of vellet with perf. inf.: ut fiat, quid non illa dedisse velit?Ov. Am. 2, 17, 30. = imperative of third person: arma velit, poscatque simul rapiatque juventus,Verg. A. 7, 340. Redundantly, giving to the dependent verb the force of an imperative, Quint. 8, prooem. 12 (v. II. A. 1. c. supra; v. also I. A. 3. a. supra). Velimus. In the optative sense of velim: sed scire velimus quod tibi nomen siet,Plaut. Pers. 4, 6, 18. With imperative sense (= let us, we should, etc.), Quint. 6, 3, 28 (v. I. A. 2. d. supra). Velitis = velim velitis (i. e. jubeatis, jubete): novos consules ita cum Samnite gerere bellum velitis ut omnia ante nos bella gesta sunt,Liv. 9, 8, 10. So especially in velitis jubeatis, a formula in submitting a law to the votes of the people in the comitia centuriata or tributa, let it be resolved and ordered by you: rogatus in haec verba populus: velitis jubeatisne haec sic fieri, si respublica populi Romani Quiritium, etc.,Liv. 22, 10, 2: velitis jubeatis, Quirites ... uti de eā re Ser. Sulpicius praetor urbanus ad senatum referat, etc.,id. 38, 54, 3. And parodied by Cic.: velitis jubeatis ut quod Cicero versum fecerit,Cic. Pis. 29, 72.

Velint, optative and redundant, Cic. Att. 11, 7, 7 (v. II. A. 1. d.); Ov. P. 1, 7, 8 (v. II. A. 1. c.). Vellem, as potential subjunctive, I wish, should like, should have liked, representing the wish as contrary to fact, while velim refers to a wish which may be realized: de Menedemo vellem verum fuisset, de reginā velim verum sit,Cic. Att. 15, 4, 4. It is not used with imperative force; cf.: quod scribis, putare te ... vellem scriberes, cur ita putares ... tu tamen velim scribas,Cic. Att. 11, 24, 5. Often quam vellem, how I wish, i. e. I wish very much; and in the same sense: nimium vellem, v.infra. With verb in first person.

Rarely, I should have liked: tum equidem istuc os tuum inpudens videre nimium vellem!Ter. Eun. 3, 5, 49. And in conditional sense: maerorem minui: dolorem nec potui, nec, si possem, vellem (i. e. minuere),Cic. Att. 12, 28, 2: certe ego, si sineres, titulum tibi reddere vellem,Ov.

Tr. 4, 1, 27: ante equidem summā de re statuisse, Latini, Et vellem, et fuerat melius,Verg. A. 11, 303. With inf.-clause, the predicate being a perf. part. (v. I.

Nam si talis fuerit quem voluero, cum semel elegerit, mutare voluntatem non poterit; si vero ... quem volam, donec judicium dictet, mutandi potestatem habebit,Dig. 45, 1, 112. Volam in principal sentences. = Engl. future, I shall wish, etc.: et commeminisse hoc ego volam te,
