ing every delight
except the power of leaving it. In the course of a few years Imis and
Philax longed as much for a separation as at one time they had wished
for a union.--Comtesse D'Aunoy, _Fairy Tales_ ("Palace of Revenge,"
1682).

=Phile'mon= (3 _syl._), an aged rustic who, with his wife, Baucis,
hospitably received Jupiter and Mercury, after every one else had
refused to receive them. The gods sent an inundation to destroy the
inhospitable people, but saved Baucis and Philemon, and converted their
cottage into a magnificent temple. At their own request the aged couple
died on the same day, and were changed into two trees, which stood
before the temple.--_Greek Mythology._

=Philinte= (2 _syl._), friend of Alceste (2 _syl._)[TN-88]--Moli[`e]re,

=Philip=, father of William Swidger. His favorite expression was, "Lord,
keep my memory green. I am 87."--C. Dickens, _The Haunted Man_ (1848).

_Philip_, the butler of Mr. Peregrine Lovel; a hypocritical, rascally
servant, who pretends to be most careful of his master's property, but
who in reality wastes it most recklessly, and enriches himself with it
most unblushingly. Being found out, he is summarily dismissed.--Rev. J.
Townley, _High Life Below Stairs_ (1759).

_Philip_ (_Father_), sacristan of St. Mary's.--Sir W. Scott, _The

Talisman_ (time, Richard I.).

=Philip Nolan=, officer in U. S. Navy, condemned by president of court
martial for complicity with Aaron Burr, and for swearing at the United
States, "never to hear the name of the United States again." He is
passed from one man-of-war to another, never allowed to converse upon
national affairs, to see a U. S. newspaper or read a history of the
United States, until homesick and heartsick, after an exile of
fifty-five years, he dies, praying for the country that had disowned
him.--Edward Everett Hale, _The Man Without a Country_ (1863).

=Philip Nye=, brought up for the Anglican Church, but became a
Presbyterian, and afterwards an independent. He was noted for the cut of
his beard.

This reverend brother, like a goat,
Did wear a tail upon his throat.
But set in such a curious frame,
As if 'twere wrought in filograin,
And cut so even, as if 't had been
Drawn with a pen upon his chin.

S. Butler, _On Philip Nye's Thanksgiving Beard_ (1652).
