wert

If thou wert an honest woman, thou wouldst not have left thy husband and children, and run about the country like a fugitive.

"If this be the case thou wert right," answered the mayor, and the Israelite departed in peace.

As soon as thou wert born thou hast excelled by thy power of mind; being the son of the gods thou hast become their father.

Unchanged, thou shalt live in the mem'ry of years,I cannot—I will not—forget what thou wert!

And well mayest thou rejoice—'tis very plain,That near wert thou to Death's unsocial lands.
