_swet_."--_Milton's L'Allegro_. "Weave, wove or _weaved_, weaving, wove,
_weaved_, or woven."--_Ward's Gram._, p. 67.

"Thou who beneath the frown of fate hast stood,
And in thy dreadful agony _sweat_ blood."--_Young_, p. 238.

OBS. 10.--The verb to _shake_ is now seldom used in any other than the
irregular form, _shake, shook, shaking, shaken_; and, in this form only, is
it recognized by our principal grammarians and lexicographers, except that
Johnson improperly acknowledges _shook_ as well as _shaken_ for the perfect
participle: as, "I've _shook_ it off."--DRYDEN: _Joh. Dict._ But the
regular form, _shake, shaked, shaking, shaked_, appears to have been used
by some writers of high reputation; and, if the verb is not now properly
redundant, it formerly was so. Examples regular: "The frame and huge
foundation of the earth _shak'd_ like a coward."--SHAKSPEARE: _Hen. IV_. "I
am he that is so _love-shaked_."--ID.: _As You Like it_. "A sly and
constant knave, not to be _shak'd_."--ID.: _Cymbeline: Joh. Dict._ "I
thought he would have _shaked_ it off."--TATTLER: _ib._ "To the very point
I _shaked_ my head at."--_Spectator_, No. 4. "From the ruin'd roof of
_shak'd_ Olympus."--_Milton's Poems_. "None hath _shak'd_ it
off."--_Walker's English Particles_, p. 89. "They _shaked_ their
heads."--_Psalms_, cix, 25. Dr. Crombie says, "Story, in his Grammar, has,
_most unwarrantably_, asserted, that the Participle of this Verb should be
_shaked_."--ON ETYMOLOGY AND SYNTAX, p. 198. Fowle, on the contrary,
pronounces _shaked_ to be right. See _True English Gram._, p. 46.

OBS. 11.--All former lists of our irregular and redundant verbs are, in
many respects, defective and erroneous; nor is it claimed for those which
are here presented, that they are absolutely perfect. I trust, however,
they are much nearer to perfection, than are any earlier ones. Among the
many individuals who have published schemes of these verbs, none have been
more respected and followed than Lowth, Murray, and Crombie; yet are these
authors' lists severally faulty in respect to as many as sixty or seventy
of the words in question, though the whole number but little exceeds two
hundred, and is commonly reckoned less than one hundred and eighty. By
Lowth, eight verbs are made redundant, which I think are now regular only:
namely, _bake, climb, fold, help, load, owe, wash_. By Crombie, as many:
to wit, _bake, climb, freight, help, lift, l
