assumes the form of Sosia, and Jupiter that of Amphitryon, the mistakes
and confusion which arise resemble those of the brothers Antiph´olus and
their servants, the brothers Dromio, in Shakespeare’s _Comedy of
Errors_.--Plautus, Molière (1668), and Dryden (1690), _Amphitryon_.
His first name ... looks out upon him like another Sosia, or as if a
man should suddenly encounter his own duplicate.--C. Lamb.
=Sosii=, brothers, the name of two booksellers at Rome, referred to by
Horace.
=So´tenville= (_Mon. le baron de_), father of Angélique, and
father-in-law of George Dandin. His wife was of the house of Prudoterie,
and both boasted that in 300 years no one of their distinguished lines
ever swerved from virtue. “La bravoure n’y est pas plus hérdéitaire aux
mâles que la chasteté aux femelles.” They lived with their son-in-law,
who was allowed the honor of paying their debts, and receiving a
snubbing every time he opened his mouth, that he might be taught the
mysteries of the _haut monde_.--Molière, _George Dandin_ (1668).
=Soulis= (_Lord William_), a man of prodigious strength, cruelty,
avarice and treachery. Old Redcap gave him a charmed life, which nothing
could affect “till threefold ropes of sand were twisted round his body.”
Lord Soulis waylaid May, the lady-love of the heir of Branxholm, and
kept her in durance till she promised to become his bride. Walter, the
brother of the young heir, raised his father’s liegemen, and invested
the castle. Lord Soulis having fallen into the hands of the liegemen,
“they wrapped him in lead, and flung him into a caldron, till lead,
bones, and all were melted.”--John Leyden (1802).
(The caldron is still shown in the Skelfhill, at Ninestane Rig, part of
the range of hills which separates Liddesdale and Teviotdale.)
=South= (_Squire_), the Archduke Charles of Austria.--Arbuthnot,
_History of John Bull_ (1712).
=Southampton= (_The earl of_), the friend of the earl of Essex, and
involved with him in the charge of treason, but pardoned.--Henry Jones,
_The Earl of Essex_ (1745).

=Sow= (_A_), a machine of war. It was a wooden shed which went on
wheels, the roof being ridged like a hog’s back. Being thrust close to
the wall of a place besieged, it served to protect the besieging party
from the arrows hurled against them from the walls. When the countess of
March (called “Black Agnes”), in 1335, saw one of those engines
advancing towards her castle, she called out to the earl of Salisbury,
who commanded the engineers:
Beware Montagow,
For farrow shall thy sow;
and then had such a huge fragment of rock rolled on the engine that it
dashed it to pieces. When she saw the English soldiers running away, the
countess called out, “Lo! lo! the litter of English pigs!”
=Sow of Dallweir=, named “Henwen,” went burrowing through Wales, and
leaving in one place a grain of barley, in another a little pig, a few
bees, a grain or two of wheat, and so on, and these made the places
celebrated for the particular produce ever after.
It is supposed that the sow was really a ship, and that the keeper of
the sow, named Coll ab Collfrewi, was the captain of the vessel.--_Welsh
Triads_, lvi.
=Sowerberry=, the parochial undertaker, to whom Oliver Twist is bound
when he quits the workhouse. Sowerberry was not a badly disposed man,
and he treated Oliver with a certain measure of kindness and
consideration; but Oliver was ill-treated by Mrs. Sowerberry, and
bullied by a big boy called Noah Claypole. Being one day greatly
exasperated by the bully, Oliver gave him a thorough “drubbing,”
whereupon Charlotte, the maidservant, set upon him like a fury,
scratched his face, and held him fast till Noah Claypole had pummelled
him within an inch of his life. Three against one was too much for the
lad, so he ran away.--C. Dickens, _Oliver Twist_ (1837).
_Sowerberry_, a misanthrope.--W. Brough, _A Phenomenon in a Smock
Frock_.
=Sowerbrowst= (_Mr._), the maltster.--Sir W. Scott, _St. Ronan’s Well_
(time, George III.).
=Soyer= (_Alexis_), a celebrated cook, appointed, in 1837, _chef de
cuisine_ to the Reform Club, London, was the author of several useful
works, as _The Gastronomic Regenerator_, _The Poor Man’s Regenerator_,
_The Modern Housewife_, etc. (died 1858).
=Spado=, an impudent rascal, in the band of Don Cæsar (called “Captain
Ramirez”), who tricks every one, and delights in mischief.--O’Keefe,
_Castle of Andalusia_ (1798).
Quick’s great parts were “Isaac,” “Tony Lumpkin,” “Spado,” and “Sir
Christopher Curry.”--_Records of a Stage Veteran._
(“Isaac,” in the _Duenna_, by Sheridan; “Tony Lumpkin,” in _She Stoops
to Conquer_, by Goldsmith; “Sir Christopher Curry,” in _Inkle and
Yarico_, by G. Colman.)
=Spahis=, native Algerian cavalry, officered by Frenchmen. The infantry
are called _Turcos_.
=Spanish Brutus= (_The_), Alfonso Perez de Guzman, governor of Tarifa,
in 1293. Here he was besieged by the infant, Don Juan, who had Guzman’s
son in his power, and threatened to kill him unless Tarifa was given up.
Alfonso replied, “Sooner than be guilty of such treason, I will lend
Juan a dagger to carry out his threat;” and so saying, he tossed his
dagger over the wall. Juan, unable to appreciate this patriotism, slew
the young man without remorse.
⁂ Lopê de Vega has dramatized this incident.
=Spanish Curate= (_The_), Lopez.--Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Spanish
Curate_ (1622).
=Spanish Fryar= (_The_), a drama by Dryden (1680). It contains two
plots, wholly independent of each other. The serious element is this:
Leonora, the usurping queen of Aragon, is promised in marriage to Duke
Bertran, a prince of the blood; but is in love with Torrismond, general
of the army, who turns out to be the son and heir of King Sancho,
supposed to be dead. Sancho is restored to his throne, and Leonora
marries Torrismond. The comic element is the illicit love of Colonel
Lorenzo for Elvīra, the wife of Gomez, a rich old banker. Dominick (the
Spanish fryar) helps on this scandalous amour, but it turns out that
Lorenzo and Elvira are brother and sister.
=Spanish Lady= (_The_), a ballad contained in Percy’s _Reliques_, ii.
23. A Spanish lady fell in love with Captain Popham, whose prisoner she
was. A command being sent to set all the prisoners free, the lady prayed
the gallant captain to make her his wife. The Englishman replied that he
could not do so, as he was married already. On hearing this the Spanish
lady gave him a chain of gold and a pearl bracelet to take to his wife,
and told him that she should retire to a nunnery and spend the rest of
her life praying for their happiness.
It will be stuck up with the ballad of _Margaret’s Ghost_ [_q.v._] and
the _Spanish Lady_, against the walls of every cottage in the
country.--Isaac Bickerstaff, _Love in a Village_ (1763).
=Spanish Tragedy= (_The_), by T. Kyd (1597). Horatio (son of Hieronimo)
is murdered while he is sitting in an arbor with Belimperia. Balthazar,
the rival of Horatio, commits the murder, assisted by Belimperia’s
brother, Lorenzo. The murderers hang the dead body on a tree in the
garden, where Hieronimo, roused by the cries of Belimperia, discovers
it, and goes raving mad.
=Spanker= (_Lady Gay_), in _London Assurance_, by D. Boucicault (1841).
Dazzle and Lady Gay Spanker “act themselves,” and will never be
dropped out of the list of acting plays.--Percy Fitzgerald.
=Sparabel´la=, a shepherdess, in love with D’Urfey, but D’Urfey loves
Clum´silis, “the fairest shepherd wooed the foulest lass.” Sparabella
resolves to kill herself; but how? Shall she cut her windpipe with a
penknife? “No,” she says, “squeaking pigs die so.” Shall she suspend
herself to a tree? “No,” she says, “dogs die in that fashion.” Shall she
drown herself in a pool? “No,” she says, “scolding queans die so.” And
while in doubt how to kill herself, the sun goes down, and
The prudent maiden deemed it then too late,
And till to-morrow came deferred her fate.
Gay, _Pastoral_, iii. (1714).
=Sparkish=, “the prince of coxcombs,” a fashionable fool, and “a cuckold
before marriage.” Sparkish is engaged to Alithēa Moody, but introduces
to her his friend, Harcourt, allows him to make love to her before his
face, and, of course, is jilted.--_The Country Girl_ (Garrick, altered
from Wycherly’s _Country Wife_, 1675).
=Sparkler= (_Edmund_), son of Mrs. Merdle by her first husband. He
married Fanny, sister of Little Dorrit. Edmund Sparkler was a very large
man, called in his own regiment “Quinbus Flestrin, junior, or the Young
Man-Mountain.”
_Mrs. Sparkler_, Edmund’s wife. She was very pretty, very self-willed,
and snubbed her husband in most approved fashion.--C. Dickens, _Little
Dorrit_ (1857).
=Sparrowgrass=, pen-name of Frederic S. Cozzens, under which he depicted
the blunders and mishaps of a pair of city-bred people, who set up their
Lares and Penates in Yonkers, N.Y.--Frederic Swartwout Cozzens, _The
Sparrowgrass Papers_ (1856).
=Sparsit= (_Mrs._), housekeeper to Josiah Bounderby, banker and
mill-owner at Coketown. Mrs. Sparsit is a “highly connected lady,” being
the great-niece of Lady Scadgers. She had a “Coriolanian nose and dense
black eyebrows,” was much believed in by her master, who, when he
married, made her “keeper of the bank.” Mrs. Sparsit, in collusion with
the light porter, Bitzer, then acted the spy on Mr. Bounderby and his
young wife.--C. Dickens, _Hard Times_ (1854).
=Spasmodic School= (_The_), certain authors of the nineteenth century,
whose writings abound in spasmodic phrases, startling expressions, and
words used out of their common acceptation. Carlyle, noted for his
Germanic English, is the chief of this school. Others are Bailey, author
of _Festus_, Sydney Dobell, Gilfillan, and Alexander Smith.
⁂ Professor Aytoun has gibbeted this class of writers in his
_Firmilian_, a _Spasmodic Tragedy_ (1854).
=Spear of Achillês.= Telĕphos, son-in-law of Priam, opposed the Greeks
in their voyage to Troy. A severe contest ensued, and Achillês, with his
spear, wounded the Mysian king severely. He was told by an oracle that
the wound could be cured only by the instrument which gave it; so he
sent to Achillês to effect his cure. The surly Greek replied he was no
physician, and would have dismissed the messengers with scant courtesy,
but Ulysses whispered in his ear that the aid of Telephos was required
to direct them on their way to Troy. Achillês now scraped some rust from
his spear, which, being applied to the wound, healed it. This so
conciliated Telephos that he conducted the fleet to Troy, and even took
part in the war against his father-in-law.
Achillês’ and his father’s javelin caused
Pain first, and then the boon of health restored.
Dantê, _Hell_, xxxi. (1300).
And fell in speche of Telephus, the king,
And of Achilles for his queinte spere,
For he coude with it both hele and dere (_i.e._, wound).
Chaucer, _Canterbury Tales_ (“The Squire’s Tale”).
Whose smile and frown, like to Achillês’ spear,
Is able with the change to kill and cure.
Shakespeare, _2 Henry VI._ act v. sc. 1 (1591).
⁂ The plant milfoil or yarrow, called by the old herbalists, _Achilles_,
is still used in medicine as a tonic. The leaves were at one time much
used for healing wounds, and are still employed for this purpose in
Scotland, Germany, France, and other countries.
=Spearman= (_Rosanna_). Housemaid in the employ of Lady Verinder, and a
reformed thief. She is infatuated with Franklin Blake, who is quite
ignorant of her passion. Learning, accidentally, that he has, as a
sleep-walker, stolen the diamond, she tries to use the knowledge to
establish a hold upon him. Failing in this, she drowns herself in a
quicksand, leaving behind her a confession of her hopeless love and the
means she had used to avert suspicion from him.--Wilkie Collins, _The
Moonstone_.
=Spears of Spyinghow= (_The Three_), in the troop of Fitzurse.--Sir W.
Scott, _Ivanhoe_ (time, Richard I.).
=Speech ascribed to Dumb Animals.= Al Borak, the animal which conveyed
Mahomet to the seventh heaven; Arīon, the wonderful horse which Herculês
gave to Adrastos; Balaam’s ass (_Numb._ xxii. 28-30); the black pigeons
of Dodōna; Comrade, Fortunio’s horse; Katmîr, the dog of the Seven
Sleepers; Sâleh’s camel; Temliha, king of the serpents; Xanthos, the
horse of Achillês. Frithjof’s ship, _Ellīda_, could not speak, but it
understood what was said to it.
=Speech given to Conceal Thought.= _La parole a été donnée a l’homme
pour déguiser la pensée or pour l’aider à cacher sa pensée._ Talleyrand
is usually credited with this sentence, but Captain Gronow, in his
_Recollections and Anecdotes_, asserts that the words were those of
Count Montrond, a wit and poet, called “the most agreeable scoundrel and
most pleasant reprobate in the court of Marie Antoinette.”
Voltaire, in _Le Chapon et la Poularde_, says: “Ils n’employent les
paroles que pour déguiser leurs pensées.”
Goldsmith, in _The Bee_, iii. (October 20, 1759), has borrowed the same
thought: “the true use of speech is not so much to express our wants as
to conceal them.”
=Speech-Makers= (_Bad_).
ADDISON could not make a speech. He attempted one in the House of
Commons, and said, “Mr. Speaker, I conceive--I conceive, sir--sir, I
conceive----” Whereupon a member exclaimed, “The right honorable
secretary of state has conceived thrice, and brought forth nothing.”
CAMPBELL (_Thomas_), once tried to make a speech, but so stuttered and
stammered, that the whole table was convulsed with laughter.
CICERO, the great orator, never got over his nervous terror till he
warmed to his subject.
IRVING (_Washington_), even with a speech written out, and laid before
him, could not deliver it without a breakdown. In fact, he could hardly
utter a word in public without trembling.
MOORE (_Thomas_) could never make a speech.
(Dickens and Prince Albert always spoke well and fluently.)
=Speed=, an inveterate punster, and the clownish servant of Valentine,
one of the two “gentlemen of Verona.”--Shakespeare, _The Two Gentlemen
of Verona_ (1594).
=Speed the Plough=, a comedy by Thomas Morton (1798). Farmer Ashfield
brings up a boy named Henry, greatly beloved by every one. This Henry is
in reality the son of “Morrington,” younger brother of Sir Philip
Blandford. The two brothers fixed their love on the same lady, but the
younger married her, whereupon Sir Philip stabbed him to the heart, and
fully thought him to be dead, but after twenty years, the wounded man
reappeared, and claimed his son. Henry marries his cousin, Emma
Blandford; and the farmer’s daughter, Susan, marries Robert, only son of
Sir Abel Handy.
=Spenlow= (_Mr._), father of Dora (_q.v._). He was a proctor, to whom
David Copperfield was articled. Mr. Spenlow was killed in a carriage
accident.
_Misses Lavinia_ and _Clarissa Spenlow_, two spinster aunts of Dora
Spenlow, with whom she lived at the death of her father.
They were not unlike birds altogether, having a sharp, brisk, sudden
manner, and a little, short, spruce way of adjusting themselves, like
canaries.--C. Dickens, _David Copperfield_, xli. (1849).
=Spens= (_Sir Patrick_), a Scotch hero, sent, in the winter-time, on a
mission to Norway. His ship, in its home passage, was wrecked off the
coast of Aberdeen, and every one on board was lost. The incident has
furnished the subject of a spirited Scotch ballad by Lady Lindsay.
=Spenser.= _The Spenser of English Prose Writers_, Jeremy Taylor
(1613-1667).
_Spenser._ _From Spenser to Flecknoe_, that is, from the top to the
bottom of all poetry; from the sublime to the ridiculous.--Dryden,
_Comment on Spenser, etc._
=Spenser’s Monument=, in Westminster Abbey, was erected by Anne
Clifford, countess of Dorset.
=Spider’s Net= (_A_). When Mahomet fled from Mecca, he hid in a cave,
and a spider wove its net over the entrance. When the Koreishites came
thither, they passed on, being fully persuaded that no one had entered
the cave, because the cobweb was not broken.
In the _Talmud_, we are told that David, in his flight, hid himself in
the cave of Adullam, and a spider spun its net over the opening. When
Saul came up and saw the cobweb, he passed on, under the same
persuasion.
=Spindle= (_Jack_), the son of a man of fortune. Having wasted his money
in riotous living, he went to a friend to borrow £100. “Let me see, you
want £100, Mr. Spindle; let me see, would not £50 do for the present?”
“Well,” said Jack, “if you have not £100, I must be contented with £50.”
“Dear me, Mr. Spindle!” said the friend, “I find I have but £20 about
me.” “Never mind,” said Jack, “I must borrow the other £30 of some other
friend.” “Just so, Mr. Spindle, just so. By-the-by would it not be far
better to borrow the whole of that friend, and then one note of hand
will serve for the whole sum? Good morning, Mr. Spindle; delighted to
see you! Tom, see the gentleman down.”--Goldsmith, _The Bee_, iii.
(1759).
=Spirit of the Cape= (_The_), Adamastor, a hideous phantom, of unearthly
pallor, “erect his hair uprose of withered red,” his lips were black,
his teeth blue and disjointed, his beard haggard, his face scarred by
lightning, his eyes “shot livid fire,” his voice roared. The sailors
trembled at the sight of him, and the fiend demanded how they dared to
trespass “where never hero braved his rage before?” He then told them
“that every year the shipwrecked should be made to deplore their
foolhardiness.” According to Barreto the “Spirit of the Cape” was one of
the giants who stormed heaven.--Camoens, _The Lusiad_ (1572).
In me the Spirit of the Cape behold ...
That rock by you the “Cape of Tempests” named ...
With wide-stretched piles I guard ...
Great Adamastor is my dreaded name.
Canto v.
=Spiri´to=, the Holy Ghost as the friend of man, personified in canto
ix. of _The Purple Island_, by Phineas Fletcher (1633). He was married
to Urania, and their offspring are: Knowledge, Contemplation, Care,
Humility, Obedience, Faith or Fido, Penitence, Elpi´nus or Hope, and
Love, the foster-son of Gratitude. (Latin, _spirĭtus_, “spirit.”)
=Spitfire= (_Will_), or WILL SPITTAL, serving-boy of Roger Wildrake, the
dissipated royalist.--Sir W. Scott, _Woodstock_ (time, Commonwealth).
=Spontaneous Combustion.= There are above thirty cases on record of
death by spontaneous combustion, the most famous being that of the
Countess Cornelia di Baudi Cesenatê, which was most minutely
investigated, in 1731, by Guiseppê Bianchini, a prebendary of Verona.
The next most noted instance occurred at Rheims, in 1725, and is
authenticated by no less an authority than Mon. Le Cat, the celebrated
physician.
Messrs. Foderé and Mere investigated the subject of spontaneous
combustion, and gave it as their fixed opinion that instances of death
from such a cause cannot be doubted.
In vol. vi. of the _Philosophical Transactions_, and in the _English
Medical Jurisprudence_, the subject is carefully investigated, and
several examples are cited in confirmation of the fact.
Joseph Battaglia, a surgeon of Ponte Bosio, gives in detail the case of
Don G. Maria Bertholi, a priest of Mount Valerius. While reading his
breviary the body of this priest burst into flames in several parts, as
the arms, back and head. The sleeves of his shirt, a handkerchief and
his skull-cap were all more or less consumed. He survived the injury
four days. (This seems to me more like an electrical attack than an
instance of spontaneous combustion.)
=Spontoon=, the old confidential servant of Colonel Talbot.--Sir W.
Scott, _Waverley_ (time, George II.).
=Spoons= (_Gossip_). It was customary at one time for sponsors at
christenings to give gilt spoons as an offering to their godchild. These
spoons had on the handle the figure of one of the apostles or
evangelists, and hence were called “Apostle spoons.” The wealthy would
give the twelve apostles, those of less opulence the four evangelists,
and others again a single spoon. When Henry VIII. asks Cranmer to be
godfather to “a fair young maid,” Cranmer replies, “How may I deserve
such honor, that am a poor and humble subject?” The king rejoins, “Come,
come, my lord, you’d spare your spoons.”--Shakespeare, _Henry VIII._ act
v. sc. 2 (1601).
=Sporus.= Under this name Pope satirized Lord John Hervey, generally
called “Lord Fanny” from his effeminate habits and appearance. He was
“half wit, half fool, half man, half beau.” Lord John Hervey was
vice-chamberlain in 1736, and lord privy seal in 1740.
That thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of asses’ milk;
Satire or sense, alas! can Sporus feel,
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?
A. Pope, _Prologue to the Satires_ (1734).
⁂ This Lord John Hervey married the beautiful Molly Lapel; hence Pope
says:
