"SEBENUTICUM--(a town of the Delta,) _Seben-vuyticum_, that is, 'the _seven_-fold _outcome_;' for the Nile is seven-fold, and hath seven mouths or outlets. "PHAROS--_Phaer-ho_, signifying _adnavigatio alti_, or the navigation towards the high places; for Pharos is an island with a lofty tower," &c. &c. Then he takes his course into Greece and Latium, but it would be idle to follow him through a hundredth part of these vagaries. In not a single instance does he pay the least attention to what the Greeks and Romans themselves thought or taught on these subjects, except, indeed, in the solitary case of the Peloponnesus, which he admits _may_ possibly have had its name from Pelops, though he thinks it more likely that it expresses the more appropriate Scythic phrase _Pfel-op-on-es_--"Campus superior ad aquas," or the _fell_ or plain _up_, _on_, or _above_ the water. Coming in the course of his peregrinations to Etruria, and being equally successful in making all the ancient names of men and places there significant in Dutch, he boldly attempts the interpretation of the Eugubian tablets. These singular remains of the extinct language of Etruria, had already exercised the skill of some of the best scholars of the 16th century, but none of them had succeeded in bending this new bow of Ulysses. To the insane all things are easy. Scrieck made no more of the task than did Ulysses-- "When the wary hero wise, His hand now familiar with the bow, Poising it and examining--at once; As when in harp and song adept, a bard Unlabouring strains the chord to a new lyre, The twisted entrails of a sheep below With fingers nice inserting, and above-- With such facility Ulysses bent His own huge bow, and with his right hand play'd The nerve, which in its quick vibration sung Clear as a swallow's voice."
