Anu's definition of 'sobeit' (provided that) follows the OED, but in his example the word appears to be used in a verbal sense, however subjunctive:
The armies of a littler folk
Shall pass you under the victor's yoke,
Sobeit a nation that trains her sons
To ride their horses and point their guns
This seems to require the reading "if it be".
