         lord to a servant, of an equal to an equal, and
         expresses also companionship, love, permission,
         defiance, scorn, threatening: whilst ye is the language
         of a servant to a lord, and of compliment, and further
         expresses honor, submission, or entreaty." --Skeat.
         [1913 Webster]

         in familiar discourse, though most of them corruptly
         say thee instead of thou.
