, Dom
Sebastian, Charles V., Elijah Mansur, Desmond of Kilmallock, etc., are
traditionally not dead, but only sleeping till the fullness of time,
when each will awake and effect most wondrous restorations.

=Mohair= (_The Men of_), the citizens of France.

The men of mohair, as the citizens were called.--_Asylum Christi_,
viii.

=Moha'reb=, one of the evil spirits of Dom-Daniel, a cave "under the roots
of the ocean." It was given out that these spirits would be extirpated
by one of the family of Hodei'rah (3 _syl._), so they leagued against
the whole race. First, Okba was sent against the obnoxious race, and
succeeeded[TN-15] in killing eight of them, Thalaba alone having escaped
alive. Next, Abaldar was sent against Thalaba, but was killed by a
simoom. Then Loba'ba was sent to cut him off, but perished in a
whirlwind. Lastly, Mohareb undertook to destroy him. He assumed the
guise of a warrior, and succeeded in alluring the youth to the very
"mouth of hell;" but Thalaba, being alive to the deceit, flung Mohareb
into the abyss.--Southey, _Thalaba, the Destroyer_, v. (1797).

=Mohicans= (_Last of the_), Uncas, the Indian chief, son of Chingachook,
and called "Deerfoot."--J. F. Cooper, _The Last of the Mohicans_ (a
novel, 1826).

The word ought to be pronounced _Mo.hek'.kanz_, but is usually called
_Mo.h[)e].kanz_.

=Mohocks=, a class of ruffians who at one time infested the streets of
London. So called from the Indian Mohocks. At the Restoration, the
street bullies were called Muns and Tityre Tus; they were next called
Hectors and Scourers; later still, Nickers and Hawcabites; and lastly,
Mohocks.

Now is the time that rakes their revels keep,
Kindlers of riot, enemies of sleep;
His scattered pence the flying Nicker flings,
And with the copper shower the casement rings;
Who has not heard the Scowerer's midnight fame?
Who has not trembled at the Mohock's name?

Gay, _Trivia_, iii. 321, etc. (1712).

=Mohun= (_Lord_), the person who joined Captain Hill in a dastardly attack
on the actor, Mountford, on his way to Mrs. Bracegirdle's house, in
Howard Street. Captain Hill was jealous of Mountford, and induced Lord
Mohun to join him in this "valiant exploit." Mountford died next day,
Captain Hill fled from the country, and Mohun was tried but acquitted.

The general features of this cowardly attack are very like that of the
Count Koningsmark on Thomas Thynne of Lingle
