"To owe" is frequently used by Shakspeare in the sense of to possess, to own, as in Act i. Sc. 5. where Lucio says:
"But when they weep and kneel,
All their petitions are as freely theirs
As they themselves would owe them."
So also in the following instances:—
"The slaughter of the prince that ow'd that crown."
Richard III., Act. iv. Sc. 4.
"What art thou, that keepst me out from the house I
owe?"
Comedy of Errors, Act iii. Sc. 1.
