Do you entertain similar misgivings about `let', as in "Let
me fetch the shovel"; or about "make", as in "I will make
you regret it"; or about `have' but with passive voice, e.g.
"I will have my hair cut"; or when there is no a verb at
all, as in the Huey "piano" Smith song -- "We will have him
on the alimony"?
The Authorised version of The Bible has both variants in the
same sentece:
He made him /ride/ on the high places of the earth, that
he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him
/to suck/ honey out of the rock, and oil out of the
flinty rock.
The second sentence is different, and `to' is optional in it
because "get there" is parallel to "do", and the second `to'
may be implied, as it is in:
He is the author of "The Camera" and (of) "The Negative".
On the other hand, The Grammar of English Grammars has this
example:
I would willingly have him /producing/ [/produce/, or /to
produce/] his credentials.
