            Though the former legal pollution be now done off,

   Note:
       (a) Do and did are much employed as auxiliaries, the verb
           to which they are joined being an infinitive. As an
           auxiliary the verb do has no participle. ``I do set
           my bow in the cloud.'' --Gen. ix. 13. [Now archaic or
           rare except for emphatic assertion.]

                 Rarely . . . did the wrongs of individuals to
                 the knowledge of the public.     -- Macaulay.
       (b) They are often used in emphatic construction. ``You
           don't say so, Mr. Jobson. -- but I do say so.'' --Sir
           W. Scott. ``I did love him, but scorn him now.''
           --Latham.
       (c) In negative and interrogative constructions, do and
           did are in common use. I do not wish to see them;
           what do you think? Did C[ae]sar cross the Tiber? He
           did not. ``Do you love me?'' --Shak.
       (d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first
           used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or
           earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative
           mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with
           the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done
           often stand as a general substitute or representative
           verb, and thus save the repetition of the principal
           verb. ``To live and die is all we have to do.''
           --Denham. In the case of do and did as auxiliaries,
           the sense may be completed by the infinitive (without
           to) of the verb represented. ``When beauty lived and
           died as flowers do now.'' --Shak. ``I . . . chose my
           wife as she did her wedding gown.'' --Goldsmith.

                 My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being.
                 As the light does the shadow.    -- Longfellow.
           In unemphatic affirmative sentences do is, for the
           most part, archaic or poetical; as, ``This just
           reproach their virtue does excite.'' --Dryden.

   {To do one's best}, {To do one's diligence} (and the like),
      to exert one's self; to put forth one's best or most or
      most diligent efforts. ``We will . . . do our best to gain
      their assent.'' --Jowett (Thucyd.).

   {To do one's business}, to ruin one. [Colloq.] --Wycherley.

   {To do one shame}, to cause one shame. [Obs.]

   {To do over}.
       (a) To make over; to perform a second time.
       (b) To cover; to spread; to smear. ``Boats . . . sewed
           together and done over with a kind of slimy stuff
           like rosin.'' --De Foe.

   {To do to death}, to put to death. (See 7.) [Obs.]

   {To do up}.
       (a) To put up; to raise. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
       (b) To pack together and envelop; to pack up.
       (c) To accomplish thoroughly. [Colloq.]
       (d) To starch and iron. ``A rich gown of velvet, and a
           ruff done up with the famous yellow starch.''
           --Hawthorne.

   {To do way}, to put away; to lay aside. [Obs.] --Chaucer.

   {To do with}, to dispose of; to make use of; to employ; --
      usually preceded by what. ``Men are many times brought to
      that extremity, that were it not for God they would not
      know what to do with themselves.'' --Tillotson.

   {To have to do with}, to have concern, business or
      intercourse with; to deal with. When preceded by what, the
      notion is usually implied that the affair does not concern
      the person denoted by the subject of have. ``Philology has
      to do with language in its fullest sense.'' --Earle.
      ``What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? --2 Sam.
      xvi. 10.

   Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past
         participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I
         shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the
         participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the
         possession of the object in the state indicated by the
         participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold
         him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
         this independent significance, and is used with the
         participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
         as a device for expressing past time. Had is used,
         especially in poetry, for would have or should have.

               Myself for such a face had boldly died.
                                                  --Tennyson.
