[129] The best instance I remember is in the Frogs, where Bacchus pleads his inexperience at the oar, and says he is
[Greek: apeiros, athalattotos, asalaminios,]
which might be rendered,
Unskilled, unsea-soned, and un-Salamised.
[130] So Euripides (copied by Theocritus, Id. xxvii.):—
[Greek: Pentheus d' opos mae penthos eisoisei domois] (Bacchae, 363.)
[Greek: Esophronaesen ouk echousa sophronein]. (Hippol., 1037.)
So Calderon: "Y apenas llega, cuando llega á penas."
[131] I have taken the first passage in point that occurred to my memory. It may not be Shakespeare's, though probably his. The question of authorship is, I think, settled, so far as criticism can do it, in Mr. Grant White's admirable essay appended to the Second Part of Henry VI.
[132] Shakspeare und kein Ende.
