Paraphrase the sentences paratactically, parsing them according to the conventions introduced in this chapter. Diagram all three of them.
1. Stay, stay with us — rest, thou art weary and worn.—Campbell.
Hint: Exercise (1) illustrates asyndetic result-sequentive joining, the author conjoins clauses on three levels. There is also another asyndetic sequentive relationship. The joining of words is exemplified in the first two clauses of the paraphrase. (We introduce diagrams for conjoined words and phrases in the next chapter.)
2. A part of the citizens seceded from the main body, and formed a separate community on the neighboring marshes.—Prescott.
Hint: The conjoined predicate is reduced from result-sequentive clauses.
3. Only the learned, who were very few, could read Latin; hence there came to be great ignorance of the Bible, and all sorts of superstitions and false beliefs took possession of the people, and the Bible came to be almost a forgotten and unused book.—Munger.
Hint: The student may ignore for now the first clause who were very few. This is a non-restrictive adjective clause to be discussed in §16-1.
