See Mr Steevens's note on this passage.
[367] This word is common to many writers. As, Shakespeare's "Third Part of Henry VI.," act ii. sc. 1—
"The proud, insulting queen,
With Clifford, and the haught Northumberland."
See several examples in Mr Steevens's note on the last passage.
[368] That is, the right they own or possess. So, in the "Virgin Martyr," by Massinger and Decker, act ii. sc. 2—
"Sir, he is more indebted
To you for praise, than you to him that owes it."
And in "Othello," act iii. sc. 3—
"Not poppy nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,
Shall ever med'cine thee to that sweet sleep,
Which thou ow'dst yesterday."
