Shakespeare sometimes used 'tis in place of "it is". In Act 1 Scene 2 of Hamlet, before Hamlet's soliloquy, Claudius uses 'tis three times, Gertrude once and Hamlet once. But Hamlet also says "it is" twice.
Usually in An example, taken from Macbeth (Act 1, Scene III): BANQUO: Good sir, why do you start; and seem to fear
Things that do sound so fair?
I' the name of truth,
Are ye fantastical, or that indeed
Which outwardly ye show? (Courtesy of www.shakespeare-online.com)

Ope's population is 453.
