sun shone on the French
alone."

I have not reared the Oriflamme of death.
... me it behooves
To spare the fallen foe.

Southey, _Joan of Arc_, viii. 621, etc. (1837).

=Origilla=, the lady-love of Gryphon, brother of Aquilant; but the
faithless fair one took up with Mart[=a]no, a most impudent boaster and
a coward. Being at Damascus during a tournament in which Gryphon was the
victor, Martano stole the armor of Gryphon, arrayed himself in it, took
the prizes, and then decamped with the lady. Aquilant happened to see
them, bound them, and took them back to Damascus, where Martano was
hanged, and the lady kept in bondage for the judgment of
Luc[=i]na.--Ariosto, _Orlando Furioso_ (1516).

=Orillo=, a magician and robber, who lived at the mouth of the Nile. He
was the son of an imp and fairy. When any one of his limbs was lopped
off, he had the power of restoring it; and when his head was cut off, he
could take it up and replace it. When Astolpho encountered this
magician, he was informed that his life lay in one particular hair; so
instead of seeking to maim his adversary, Astolpho cut off the magic
hair, and the magician fell lifeless at his feet.--Ariosto, _Orlando
Furioso_ (1516).

=Orinda=, "the incomparable," Mrs. Katherine Philipps, who lived in the
reign of Charles II., and died of small-pox.

[Asterism] Her praises were sung by Cowley, Dryden, and others.

We allowed you beauty, and we did submit ...
Ah, cruel sex, will you depose us too in wit?
Orinda does in that too reign.

Cowley, _On Orinda's Poems_ (1647).

=Ori'on=, a giant of great beauty, and a famous hunter, who cleared the
island of Chios of wild beasts. While in the island, Orion fell in love
with Mer[)o]p[^e], daughter of king Oenop'ion; but one day, in a drunken
fit, having offered her violence, the king put out the giant's eyes, and
drove him from the island. Orion was told if he would travel eastward,
and expose his sockets to the rising sun, he would recover his sight.
Guided by the sound of a Cyclop's hammer, he reached Lemnos, where
Vulcan gave him a guide to the abode of the sun. In due time, his sight
returned to him, and at death he was made a constellation. The lion's
skin was an emblem of the wild beasts which he slew in Chios, and the
club was the instrument he employed for the purpose.

He [_Orion_]
Reeled as of yore beside the sea,
When, blinded by
