me vs. myself

  • July 1, 2012, 9:48am

Although I agree that Shakespeare often uses myself etc incorrectly, I think in the example above it could (this would depend on the context - I haven't looked it up) be interpreted as an abbreviated form of I myself, but then the use of hath is strange. I always thought is was third person singular not first person.
