Law
He shall vow by Apollo and give security. If he dreads the course of justice, let him flee.
Here to vow is to swear, and flee is what we now call run away.
Whosoever debars with his door, when the thief is within,
—Here to debar is taken to be shut out; no dispute, now, on that score!
Money shall be placed out at whatever rate the lender may choose.
Placed out here, my fine fellow, is not a case of placing in the balance, but of drawing interest to such amount as one may choose. Once more, read the final clause of this same law.
