is: A mother-goat, going
abroad for the day, told her kid to keep at home, and not to open the
door to strangers. She had not been gone long when up came a fox, with
head bound from "headache," and foot bound from "gout," and carrying a
ped of trinkets. The fox told the kid a most piteous tale, and showed
her a little mirror. The kid, out of pity and vanity, opened the door;
but while stooping over the ped to pick up a little bell, the fox
clapped down the lid and carried her off.

In ecl. vii. Palinode is referred to by the shepherd Thomalin, as
"lording it over God's heritage," feeding the sheep with chaff, and

_Palinode_ (3 _syl._), a poem in recantation of a calumny. Stesich'oros
wrote a bitter satire against Helen, for which her brothers, Castor and
Pollux, plucked out his eyes. When, however, the poet recanted, his

Bismarck might have been called the palinurus of William, emperor of
Germany and king of Prussia.

More had she spoke, but yawned. All nature nods ...
E'en Palinurus nodded at the helm.

Pope, _The Dunciad_, iv. 614 (1742).

=Palisse= (_La_), a sort of M. Prudhomme; a pompous utterer of truisms and
moral platitudes.

=Palissy= (_Bernard, the potter_), succeeded, after innumerable efforts
and privations, in inventing the art of enamelling stone ware. He was
arrested and confined in the Bastille for Huguenot principles, and died
there in 1589.

=Palla'dio= (_Andrea_), the Italian classical architect (1518-1580).

_The English Palladio_, Inigo Jones (1573-1653).

=Palla'dium.=

_Of Ceylon_, the del['a]da or tooth of Buddha, preserved in the Malegawa
temple at Kandy. Natives guard it with great jealousy, from a belief
that whoever possesses it acquires the right to govern Ceylon. When, in
1815, th
