Nights_, the mandarin,
Fum-Hoam, the teller of the _Chinese Tales_, Moradbak, the teller of the
_Oriental Tales_, Fer[)a]morz, who told the tales to Lalla Rookh, and
so on. Again, scalds resided at court, were attached to the royal suite,
and followed the king in all his expeditions; but sagamen were free and
unattached, and told their tales to prince or peasant, in lordly hall or
at village wake.

=Sage of Concord= (_The_), Ralph Waldo Emerson, author of _Literary
Ethics_ (1838), _Poems_ (1846), _Representative Men_ (1850), _English
Traits_ (1856), and numerous other works (1803-1882).

In Mr. Emerson we have a poet and a profoundly religious man, who
is really and entirely undaunted by the discoveries of science,
past, present or prospective. In his case, poetry, with the joy of
a Bacchanal, takes her graver brother, science, by the hand, and
cheers him with immortal laughter. By Emerson scientific
conceptions are continually transmuted into the finer forms and
warmer lines of an ideal world.--Professor Tyndall, _Fragments of
Science_.

=Sage of Monticello= (_The_), Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the
United States, whose country seat was at Monticello.

As from the grave where Henry sleeps,
From Vernon's weeping willow,
And from the grassy pall which hides
The Sage of Monticello ...
Virginia, o'er thy land of slaves
A warning voice is swelling.

Whittier, _Voices of Freedom_ (1836).

=Sage of Samos= (_The_), Pythag[)o]ras, a native of Samos (B.C. 584-506).

=Sag'ittary=, a monster, half man and half beast, described as "a terrible
archer, who neighs like a horse, and with eyes of fire which strike men
dead like lightning." Any deadly shot is a sagittary.--Guido delle
Colonna (thirteenth century), _Historia Troyana Prosayce Composita_
(translated by Lydgate).

The dreadful Sagittary,
Appals our numbers.

Shakespeare, _Troilus and Cressida_ (1602).

(See also _Othello_, act i. sc. 1, 3. The barrack is so called from the
figure of an archer over the door.)

=Sagramour le De'sirus=, a knight of the Round Table.--See _Launcelot du
Lac_ and _Morte d'Arthur_.
