-   F. W. Farrar Early Days Christianity II. 560   By the figure of speech called zeugma, or rather syllepsis, the same word..is often made to serve two purposes in the same sentence. A verb is often used with two clauses which is only appropriate to one of them, as in Pope's line—‘See Pan with flocks, with fruits Pomona crowned.’
