Note 164 — Chapter VI · CLASSIFICATION OF THE CORRESPONDENCIES AND PARALLELISMS OF SHAKESPEARE WITH EMBLEM WRITERS. (continued 3)

There are similar thoughts in Shakespeare’s Phœnix and Turtle (Works, lines 25 and 37, vol. ix. p. 671),—

“So they loved, as love in twain

Had the essence but in one;

Two distincts, division none,

Number there in love was slain.”

And,—

“Property was thus appalled,

That the self was not the same;

Single nature’s double name

Neither two nor one was called.”
