I trust I may be left in the quiet possession of whatever merit is due to this restoration. Some other of my humble _auxilia_ have, before now, been coolly appropriated, with the most innocent air possible, without the slightest acknowledgment. One instance is afforded in MR. KEIGHTLEY'S communication to "N. & Q.," Vol. vii., p. 136., where that gentleman not only repeats the explanation I had previously given of the same passage, but even does me the honour of requoting the same line of Shakspeare with which I had supported it. I did not think it worth noticing at the time, nor should I now, were it not that MR. KEIGHTLEY'S {593} confidence in the negligence or want of recollection in your readers seems not have been wholly misplaced, if we may judge from MR. ARROWSMITH's admiring foot-note in last Number of "N. & Q.," p. 568. A. E. B. Leeds. * * * * * SHAKESPEARE'S USE OF THE IDIOM "NO HAD" AND "NO HATH NOT." (Vol. vii., p. 520.) We are under great obligations to the REV. MR. ARROWSMITH for his very interesting illustration of several misunderstood archaisms; and it may not be unacceptable to him if I call his attention to what seems to me a farther illustration of the above singular idiom, from Shakspeare himself. In _As You Like It_, Act I. Sc. 3., where Rosalind has been banished by the Duke her uncle, we have the following dialogue between Celia and her cousin: "_Cel._ O my poor Rosalind! whither wilt thou go? Wilt thou change fathers? I will give thee mine. I charge thee, be not thou more grieved than I am. _Ros._ I have more cause. _Cel._ Thou hast not, cousin: Pr'ythee be cheerful: know'st thou not, the duke Hath banish'd me, his daughter? _Ros._ That he hath not. _Cel._ _No hath not?_ Rosalind lacks, then, the love Which teacheth thee that thou and I _are_ one. Shall we be sunder'd," &c.
