   Note: Here, in the last sense, is sometimes used before a
         verb without subject; as, Here goes, for Now (something
         or somebody) goes; -- especially occurring thus in
         drinking healths. "Here's [a health] to thee, Dick."

      nor in that, neither in one place nor in another; hence,
      it is to no purpose, irrelevant, nonsense. --Shak.
