; but he commanded the child to be cast out on a desert
shore, and left there to perish. The child was drifted to the "coast" of
Bohemia, and brought up by a shepherd, who called it Perd[)i]ta.
Florizel, the son of king Polix[)e]n[^e]s, fell in love with her, and
fled with her to Sicily, to escape the vengeance of the angry king. The
fugitives being introduced to Leont[^e]s, it was soon discovered that
Perdita was the king's daughter, and Polixen[^e]s consented to the union
he had before forbidden. Paulina now invited Leont[^e]s and the rest to
inspect a famous statue of Hermion[^e], and the statue turned out to be
the living queen herself.--Shakespeare, _The Winter's Tale_ (1604).

=Pauline=, "The Beauty of Lyons," daughter of M. Deschappelles, a Lyonese
merchant; "as pretty as Venus, and as proud as Juno." Pauline rejected
the suits of Beauseant, Glavis and Claude Melnotte; and the three
rejected lovers combined on vengeance. To this end, Claude, who was a
gardener's son, pretended to be the Prince Como, and Pauline married
him, but was indignant when she discovered the trick which had been
played upon her. Claude left her, and entered the French army, where in
two years and a half he rose to the rank of colonel. Returning to Lyons,
he found his father-in-law on the eve of bankruptcy, and Pauline about
to be sold to Beauseant for money to satisfy the creditors. Being
convinced that Pauline really loved him, Claude paid the money required,
and claimed the lady as his loving and grateful wife.--Lord L. B.
Lytton, _The Lady of Lyons_ (1838).

_Pauline_ (_Mademoiselle_) or MONNA PAULA, the attendant of Lady Erminia
Pauletti, the goldsmith's ward.--Sir W. Scott, _The Fortunes of Nigel_
(time, James I.).

=Pauline Pavlovna=, heroine of T. B. Aldrich's drama of that name (1890).

=Pauli'nus= of York, christened 10,000 men, besides women and their
children in one single day in the Swale. (Altogether some 50,000 souls,
_i.e._ 104 every minute, 6,250 every hour, supposing he worked eight
hours without stopping.)

When the Saxons first received the Christian faith,
Paulinus of old York, the zealous bishop then,
In Swale's abundant stream christened ten thousand men,
With women and their babes, a number more besides,
Upon one happy day.

Drayton, _Polyolbion_, xxviii. (1622).

=Paulo=, the cardinal and brother of Count Guido Franceschi'ni. He advised
the count to repair his bankrupt fortune
