dejecting

Simulacra deorum immortalium depulsa sunt et statu veterum hominum deject.

And I alone, of all men “most deject and wretched,” survive them all.

Some names stimulate and encourage the owner; others deject and paralyze him: I am a melancholy instance of that truth.

For one, the worst event of this day, though it may deject, shall not break or subdue me.

I must deject you now and make you listen to me; there is not much more to hear.
