  So, a dative absolute and a genitive absolute side by side and in the same sentence? 
  Any difference in meaning or force between them, or why both are used, rather than 2 
  datives or two genitives? On the other hand, the subject of the dative absolute and the 
  subject of the genitive absolute are the same as the subject of the infinitive phrase - 
  yet I thought "absolutes" were used when their subjects were NOT the subjects of the 
  main clause - or is this not the case here because the main clause is an infinitive, 
  clause, with the subject in the accusative case? Help!! ;^)
