Without assigning precedence to any one over the other, a preference may be indicated for these five, as combining the most varied elements of interest with the best execution-Aulularia, Captivi, Menaechmi, Pseudolus, Rudens; and for these, as second to the former in interest owing to some inferiority in comic power, artistic execution, or natural Vraisemblance, or owing to some element in them which offends the taste or moral sentiment-Trinummus, Mostellaria, Miles Gloriosus, Bacchides, Amphitruo.

"A Poached Peerage"
William Magnay
A whale would have needed preparation, and the statement has an air of Vraisemblance.
