engages his troth to Elvira of Lisbon.- 
C. Cibber, Love Makes a Man. 
  Antonio (Don), in love with Louisa, the 
daughter of don Jerome of Seville. A 
poor nobleman of ancient family.-Sher- 
idan, The Duenna (1778). 
 
  Antonomas'ia (The princess), daughter 
of Archipiela, king of Candaya, and his 
wife Maguncia. She married don Clavijo, 
but the giant Malambru'no, by enchant- 
ment, changed the bride into a brass 
monkey, and her spouse into a crocodile 
of some unknown metal. Don Quixote 
mounted the wooden horse Clavileno the 
Winged, to disenchant the lady and her 
husband, and this he effected "simply by 
making   the attempt."--Cervantes, Don 
Quixote, II. iii. 4, 5 (1615). 
 
  Antony (Saint) lived in a cavern on the 
summit of Cavadonga, in Spain, and was 
perpetually annoyed by devils. 
       Old St. Antonius from the hell 
    Of his bewildered phantasy saw fiends 
    In actual vision, a foul throng grotesque 
    Of all horrific shapes and forms obscene, 
    Crowd in broad day before his open eyes. 
         Southey, Roderick, etc., xvi. (1814). 
 
  An'tony and Casar. Macbeth says 
that "under Banquo his own genius was 
rebuked [or snubbed], as it is said Mark 
Antony's was by CGsar" (act iii. sc. 1), and 
in Antony and Cleopatra this passage is 
elucidated thus- 
Thy da-mon, that's thy spirit which keeps thee, is 
Noble, courageous, high, unmatchable, 
Where Cwsar's is not; but near him thy angel 
Becomes a fear, as being o'erpowered. 
                           Act ii. se. 3. 
  Anvil (The Literary). Dr. Mayo was 
so called, because he bore the hardest 
blows of Dr. Johnson without flinching. 
 
  Aodh, last of the Culdees, or primitive 
 
 
clergy of Io'na, an island south of Staffa. 
His wife was Reullu'ra. Ulvfa'gre the 
Dane, having landed on the island and put 
many to the sword, bound Aodh in chains 
of iron, then dragging him to the church, 
demanded where the "treasures were con- 
cealed." A mysterious figure now ap- 
peared, which not only released the priest, 
but took the Dane by the arm to the statue 
of St. Columb, which fell on him and 
crushed him to death. After this the 
"saint" gathered the remnant of the isl- 
anders together, and went to Ireland.- 
Campbell, Reullura. 
 
  Ape (1 syl.), the pseudonym of M. Pelle- 
grini, the caricaturist of Vanity Fair. Dr. 
Johnson says "to ape is to imitate ludi- 
crously;" whence the adoption of the name. 
 
  Apel'les and the Cobbler. A cobbler 
found fault with the shoe-latchet of one of 
Apelles' paintings, and the artist rectified 
the fault. The cobbler, thinking himself 
very wise, next ventured to criticise the 
legs; but Apelles said, Ne sutor ultra crep'- 
dum (" Let not the cobbler go beyond his 
last "). 
  Within that range of criticism where all are 
equally judges, and where Crispin is entitled 
to dictate to Apelles.-Encyc. Brit., Art. "Ro- 
mance." 
 
  Apelles. When his famous painting of 
Venus rising out of the sea (hung by Au- 
gustus in the temple of Julius CaTsar) was 
greatly injured by time, Nero replaced it 
by a copy done by Dorotheus. This Venus 
by Apelles is called "Venus Anadyom'- 
end," his model (according to tradition) 
being Campasp6 (afterwards his wife). 
 
  Apeman'tus, a churlish Athenian phi- 
losopher, who snarled at men systematic- 
ally, but showed his cynicism to be mere 
affectation, when Timon attacked him with
