I
thought as much.
Cleon
Pericles Act I, Scene iv, Line 62
He
thought as much. He thought what? He thought that the ships on the horizon were
coming as conquerors. He was wrong. The ships on the horizon were coming with
food to aid them in their time of famine.
So he thought he thought as much, but what he
thought was not what was, in fact, what was.
What
do you think about that?
I think it would have been pretty cool for Pericles to show up in a ship like this one.
Can't you just see him leaning off the bow in front yelling,
"I'm the king of the world!
And I've brought a whole bunch of corn!"

Wait. So he thought as much but what he thought wasn't what was? That's basically the opposite of "I thought as much"...
No, he still thought as much, it's just that what he thought was wrong. But he still thought it.
Right?
