ora or Awina."--Bayle's _Dictionary_, 1735, ii. 854, art. "Eve," D.] [106] {227}[It is impossible not to be struck with the resemblance between many of these passages and others in _Manfred_, _e.g._ act ii. sc. 1, lines 24-28, _Poetical Works_, 1901, iv. 99, note 1.] [ca] {228} _What can_ he be _who places love in ignorance?_--[MS.
