"Act strongly and be courageous. Do not fear nor tremble before the king of Assyria"
...doces illum quid sano faciendum sit, non efficis sanum.Pauperi utagat divitem monstras: hoc quomodo manente paupertate fieri potest?
...you teach a man what a healthy man should do, but you don't make him healthy.You show the poor howto behave as a rich man: but if they remain poor, how can they do so?
Nihilagis, nihil moliris, nihil cogitas quod non ego non modo audiam sed etiam videam planeque sentiam.
You do nothing, you plan nothing, you think of nothing which I not only do not hear, but which I do not see and know every particular of.

Agere, Facere et Gerere hoc differunt, quodagere et corporis, et vocis, et mentis agitatum comprehendit. Facere tantum refertur ad opera, quae corpore efficimus; aliquando et pro consentire ponitur. His enim loquendi modis utebantur recte antiqui: mecum seu tecumfaciam, hoc est, mecum seu tecum consentiam. Gerere est muneris et oneris...]
tomake(something that does not continue to exist after the maker stops)
ingentis parturit ira minas. / Quo feret ira, sequar! facti fortasse pigebit — / Et piget infido consuluisse viro. / Viderit ista deus, qui nunc mea pectora versat! / Nescio quid certemens mea maiusagit!
Tremndous anger abounds with threat. / I’ll follow where anger carries me. Perhaps I’ll regret my deeds: / I regret having given thought to the interests of an unfaithful husband. / Let the god see to that, which churns within my heart. / Assuredly, I don't know whatoccupies my mind more greatly!
toaim at, toget at(generally in the subjunctive mood and preceded byut, and so meaning: "that to might achieve...")
[...]Agit ipse furentem / in somnīs ferus Aenēās [...].
[...] In her nightmares, angry Aeneas himselfafflicts [Dido] in her madness, [...]. (Ambiguity: Other interpretations includedrives,chases, orharasses.)
According to Döderlein, another difference betweenago andfacio when they mean "make" is thatago typically has to do with making something that does not continue after the "actor" stops doing the action; whereas withfacio, the object continues to exist after the maker has made the thing. In other words,ago is temporal, whereasfacio is spatial.
Weiss explains the perfectēgī as an imperfect to an original Narten present *h₂ḗǵ-ti, under the assumption that */h₂/ has no colouring effect upon an adjacent *ē (as per so-calledEichner's law).[1] Pronk, on top of finding the evidence for Eichner's law itself inconclusive, dismisses Weiss' explanation as involving too many unlikely hypotheses,[2] and presents De Vaan's explanation ofēgī as analogical afterfaciō, fēcī as the most reasonable hypothesis.[3]
