Or from The Bondman:
And, to those that stay,
A competence of land freely allotted
To each man's proper use, no lord acknowledged.[144]
We find the “absolute” construction occasionally in Shakspere, as in The Merchant of Venice:
So are those crisped snaky golden locks
Which make such wanton gambols with the wind,
Upon supposed fairness, often known
To be the dowry of a second head,
The skull that bred them in the sepulchre.[145]
