          implies perseverance and skill; as, to accomplish a

          [1913 Webster] To effect (to work out) is much like
          accomplish. It usually implies some degree of

          accomplished what he intended, his purpose, but
          little. "What he decreed, he effected." --Milton.
          [1913 Webster]

          [1913 Webster] To execute (to follow out to the end,
          to carry out, or into effect) implies a set mode of
          operation; as, to execute the laws or the orders of
          another; to execute a work, a purpose, design, plan,
          project. To perform is much like to do, though less
          generally applied. It conveys a notion of protracted
          and methodical effort; as, to perform a mission, a
          part, a task, a work. "Thou canst best perform that
          office." --Milton.
          [1913 Webster]

                Perform their courses still.      --Keble.

          and excellence.
