566. Brook. Bear, endure; now seldom used except with reference to what
is endured against one's will or inclination. It seems to be a favorite
word with Scott.
573. Ferragus or Ascabart. "These two sons of Anak flourished in
romantic fable. The first is well known to the admirers of Ariosto by
the name of Ferrau. He was an antagonist of Orlando, and was at length
slain by him in single combat.... Ascapart, or Ascabart, makes a very
material figure in the History of Bevis of Hampton, by whom he was
conquered. His effigies may be seen guarding one side of the gate at
Southampton, while the other is occupied by Bevis himself" (Scott).
