Or pining Love shall waste their youth, Or jealousy with rankling tooth. Nor house, nor fence, nore dovecote. In crustumerium stands.-Macaulay. Helm, nor hauberk's twisted mail, nor even thy virtues, tyrant, shall avail . . . Whether true or false, the report will be believed. To thee I have transferred all judgement, whether in heav'n, or earth, or hell. These are really cases of ellipsis, whether true or false' standing for 'whether they be true or false' Therefore, however, nevertheless, yet, now = French or as in: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber, else, only = but.
