the indicative appears. But that, however, which is very
seldom used, seems to take the periphrasis as a rule.
I, 177, ... if now it return into prison . . .
104, If love were what the rose is,
And 1 were like the leaf . . .
167, Hast thou left upon earth a believer

I, 241, I will give thee twelve royal images . . .
So thou wilt be my lady without sin . . .

|Compare II, 107, . . . the inexorable desire
Which whoso knoweth shall neither faint nor weep.
