Notes.
COULD SHAKESPEARE HAVE DESIGNATED CLEOPATRA "YOND RIBALD-RID NAG OF EGYPT?"
To judge of this question fairly, it will be necessary to cite the passage
in which it occurs, as it stands in the folio, Act III. Sc. 8., somewhat at
large.
"_Eno._ Naught, naught, all naught! I can behold no longer;
Th' Antoniad, the Egyptian admiral,
With all their sixty, fly, and turn the rudder;
To see't, mine eyes are blasted.
_Enter_ SCARUS.
_Scar._ Gods and goddesses, all the whole synod of them!
_Eno._ What's the passion?
_Scar._ The greater cantle of the world is lost
With very ignorance; we have kiss'd away
Kingdoms and provinces.
_Eno._ How appears the fight?
