It is an incident more repugnant than the brothel scenes. In Pericles the brutal act is not performed, but a reminiscence of it lingers in: I said my lord, if you did know my parentage You would not do me violence. (V, i, ioo. ) These lines are insusceptible of explanation without a knowledge of the earlier versions of the story. There is a hiatus here that must be supplied by reference to Shakespeares predecessors (see Appendix, p. 308).

In the old Latin Historia her riddles are eight in number, and the answers are unda, pisces, navis, balneum, spongia, sphaera, speculum, rotse, scolae. These very riddles are in the riddle bag of the mysterious Symphosius, to whom we have already referred . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
