[271] [Old copy, _my_.] [272] There is no place oftener mentioned by the ancients than _Thule_, nor any one about the situation of which there has been a greater variety of opinions. Sir Robert Sibbald, in the additions to Camden, has given a discourse concerning the _Thule_ of the ancients, in which the sentiments of different writers on this subject are considered, and many of them refuted. Camden supposes _Shetland_ to be the place so often distinguished by the name of _Thule_; and Bishop Gibson appears to agree with him in the conjecture. See Camden's "Britannia." vol. ii. p. 411, edit. 1772. [273] So in Shakespeare's "King Henry VIII."--
