You shall marry the man that we have chosen for you; the king has given his consent, and it shall take place.

I command you! That is sufficient! I will hear no more about it; the thing is done with.
Herr Ebenstreit is coming this afternoon to make you a proposal of marriage with our consent, and you must, accept him.

I command you to do it!" "I cannot obey you! Oh, do not force me to rebel against God's holy laws! Have pity upon me! I have obeyed you until now, and yielded to your wishes, although I thought it would break my heart sometimes.

You have forbidden Moritz the house, and turned him out of doors like a servant, with scorn and contempt, and he has silently borne it on my account.

You have forbidden me to write or receive letters from him, or ever to meet him.
