THY, THI, or Tнẻ. pron. 466. Of thee, belong ing

From what has been already observed under the pronoun my, we are naturally led to suppose that the word thy, when not emphatical, ought to follow the same analogy, and be pro-. nounced like the, as we frequently hear it ou the stage; but if we reflect that reading or reciting is a perfect picture of speaking, we shal be induced to think that, in this particular, the stage is wrong. The second personal pronoun thy is not, like my, the common language of every subject. it is used only where the subject is either raised above common life, or sunk be low it into the mean and familiar. When the subject is elevated above common life, it adopts a language suitable to such an elevation, and the pronunciation of this language ought to be so far removed from the familiar as the lan guage itself. Thus, in prayer, pronouncing thy like the, even when unemphatical, would be tolerable; while suffering thy, when unemphatical, to slide into the in the pronunciation of slight and familiar composition, seems to lower the sound to the language, and form a proper distinction between different subjects. If, therefore, it should be asked why, in reciting epick or tragick composition, we ought always to pronounce thy rhyming with high, while when unemphatical, sinks into the sound of me, it may be answered, because my is the common language of every subject, while thy is confined to subjects either elevated above common life, or sunk below it into the negligent and familiar -When, therefore, the language is elevated the uncommonness of the word thy, and its ful sound rhyming with high, is suitable to the dig nity of the subject: but the slender sound, like the, gives it a familiarity only suitable to the language of endearment or negligence, and for this very reason is unfit for the dignity of epick or tragick composition. Thus in the following passages from Milton:

"Say first, for heav'n hides nothing from thy view,

Parad. Lost, b. 4.
Here pronouncing the pronoun thy like the word
the, would familiarize and debase the language
to prose.
The same may be observed of the
following passages from Addison's tragedy of
Cato:

"Now, Cæsar, let thy troops beset our gates,
"And bar each avenue; thy gathering fleets
"O'erspread the sea, and stop up every port,
"Cato may open to himself a passage,
"And mock thy hopes."

Here the impropriety of pronouncing thy like the
is palpable nor would it be much more excu-
sable in the following speech of Portius, in the
first scene of the same tragedy:

THUS, A. ad 466. In this manner, in this" Thou see'st not that thy brother is the rival;
wise; to this degree, to this quantity.
"But I must hide it, for I know thy semper.
To THWACK, thwak. v. a. 466. To strike with" Now, Marcus, now thy virtue's on the proof;
something blunt and heavy, to thrash, to
bang.

THWACK, twák. s. 85. A hard blow.

mischievous.

To THWART, thwart v. a. To cross, to lie or
come cross any thing; to cross, to oppose, to

"Put forth thy utinost strength, work every nerve,
"And call up all thy father in thy soul."
As this pronoun is generally pronounced on tha
stage, it would be difficult for the ear to dis-
tinguish whether the words are,

"Thou know'st not that thy brother is thy rival,”

TIDINESS, ti'de-nes. s. Neatness, readiness.
TIDINGS, 'dingz. s. News, an account o

TIDY, tŕdě. a. Neat, ready.

If I do not mistake, Mr. Elphinstone derives this word from tide; as a tidy person is one who is as attentive to dress and arrangement of things as it preparing for the tide, which, as the proverb says, 26 waits for no man." But Skinner seems more properly to derive this word from tight, as a tight feilow, one tied up or braced, not loose.

To TIE, tl. v. a. 276. To bind, to fasten with a knot; to knit, to complicate ; to hold, to fasten; to hinder, to obstruct; to oblige, to constrain, to restrain, to confine.

Perhaps it will be nrged, that though these pas-|| sages require thy to be pronounced so as to rhyme with high, there are other instances in tragedy where the subject is low and familiar, which would be better pronounced by sounding thy like the: to which it may be answered, that when tragedy lowers her voice, and descends into the mean and familiar, as is frequently the case in the tragedies of Shakspeare, the slender pronunciation of thy may be adopted; because, though the piece may have the uame of a tragedy, the scene may be really comedy. The only rule, therefore, that can be given, is a very indefinite one; namely, that the ought always to be pronounced so as to rhyme with high when the subject is raised, and the person-TIE, t. s.

The phraseology we call the and thouing is not in so common use with us as the tutoyant among the French: but as the second personal pronc an thou, and its possessive tny are indispensable in composition, it seems of Some importance to pronounce them properly.
