I came, I cut, I smoothed

Latin translation: Veni, secavi, levavi

English term or phrase: I came, I cut, I smoothed
in the Veni, Vidi, Vici style.

I Cut as in I cut the skin, the slicing of something with a knife or sharp instrument.
I Smoothed as in I smoothed the skin, I smoothed the fabric with an iron, a surface free of irregularities, bumps, roughness

Does having the phrase in the form of He came, he cut, he smoothed change it at all, or does it loosely work both ways?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Latin translation:Veni, secavi, levavi
Explanation:
Or "Veni, secavi, limavi"

For "he came..." (he instead of I),
it would become:

"Venit, secavit, levavit" (you add a "t" at the end".

I hope this helps!
