Me (mē), pers. pron. [AS. mē, dat. & acc., mec, acc. only ; akin to
D. mij, G. mich, Icel. & Goth.
mik, L. me, Gr.
me`, 'eme`,
Skr. mā, mām. √187. Cf. 2d Mine.]
The person speaking, regarded as an object;
myself; a pronoun of the first person used as the objective and dative case of the
pronoum I; as, he struck me; he gave
me the money, or he gave the money to me; he got
me a hat, or he got a hat for me.
&fist; In methinks, me is properly in the dative
case, and the verb is impersonal, the construction being, it appears to me. In early use me was often placed before forms of the verb
to be with an adjective; as, me were lief.
Me
rather had my heart might frrl your love
Than my unpleased eye see your courtesy.
Shak.
