e; in consequence
of which Viola nicknamed her "Fair Cruelty." Strange as it may seem,
Olivia fell desperately in love with Viola, who was dressed as the
duke's page, and sent her a ring. Mistaking Sebastian (Viola's brother)
for Viola, she married him out of hand.--Shakespeare, _Twelfth Night_
(1614).

Never were Shakespeare's words more finely given than by Miss M.
Tree [1802-1862] in the speech to "Olivia," beginning, "Make me a
willow cabin at thy gate."--Talfourd (1821).

_Olivia_, a female Tartuffe (2 _syl._), and consummate hypocrite of most
unblushing effrontery.--Wycherly, _The Plain Dealer_ (1677).

The duc de Montausier was the prototype of Wycherly's "Mr. Manly," the
"plain dealer," and of Moli[`e]re's "Misanthrope."

_Olivia_, daughter of Sir James Woodville, left in charge of a mercenary
wretch, who, to secure to himself her fortune, shut her up in a convent
in Paris. She was rescued by Leontine Croaker, brought to England, and
became his bride.--Goldsmith, _The Good-natured Man_ (1768).

_Olivia_, the tool of Ludov[)i]co. She loved Vicentio, but Vicentio was
plighted to Evadne, sister of Colonna. Ludovico induced Evadne to
substitute the king's miniature for that of Vicentio, which she was

the king's wanton, and he cast her off. Olivia repented of her
duplicity, and explained it all to Vicentio, whereby a reconciliation
took place, and Vicentio married his troth-plighted lady, "more sinned
against than sinning."--Shiel, _Evadne_ or _The Statue_ (1820).

_Olivia_, "the rose of Aragon," was the daughter of Ruphi'no, a peasant,
and bride of Prince Alonzo of Aragon. The king refused to recognize the
marriage, and, sending his son to the army, compelled the cortez to pass
an act of divorce. This brought to a head a general revolt. The king was

the prince returned at the head of his army, made himself master of the
