           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]
  
     Note: Thou is now sometimes used by the Friends, or Quakers,
           in familiar discourse, though most of them corruptly
           say thee instead of thou.

           In vain you tell your parting lover
           You wish fair winds may waft him over.   --Prior.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Though you is properly a plural, it is in all ordinary
           discourse used also in addressing a single person, yet
           properly always with a plural verb. "Are you he that
           hangs the verses on the trees, wherein Rosalind is so
           admired ?" --Shak. You and your are sometimes used
           indefinitely, like we, they, one, to express persons
           not specified. "The looks at a distance like a
           new-plowed land; but as you come near it, you see
           nothing but a long heap of heavy, disjointed clods."
           --Addison. "Your medalist and critic are much nearer
           related than the world imagine." --Addison. "It is
           always pleasant to be forced to do what you wish to do,
           but what, until pressed, you dare not attempt." --Hook.
           You is often used reflexively for yourself of
           yourselves. "Your highness shall repose you at the
           tower." --Shak.
           [1913 Webster]
