for her
husband.

=Queen Dick=, Richard Cromwell (1626, 1658-1660, died 1712).

[Asterism] _It happened in the reign of Queen Dick_, never, on the Greek
kalends. This does not refer to Richard Cromwell, but to Queen "Outis."
There never was a Queen Dick, except by way of joke.

=Queen Sarah=, Sarah Jennings, duchess of Marlborough (1660-1744).

Queen Anne only reigned while Queen Sarah governed.--_Temple Bar_,
208.

=Queen of Hearts=, Elizabeth Stuart, daughter of James I., the unfortunate
queen of Bohemia (1596-1662).

=Queen of Heaven=, Ashtoreth ("the moon"). Horace calls the moon "the

=Queen of Tears=, Mary of Mo'dena, second wife of James II. of England

Her eyes became eternal fountains of sorrow for that crown her own
ill policy contributed to lose.--Noble, _Memoirs, etc._ (1784).

=Queen of the East=, Zenobia, queen of Palmy'ra (*, 266-273).

=Queen of the South=, Maqueda, or Balkis, queen of Sheba, or Saba.

The queen of the south ... came from the uttermost parts of the
earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon.--_Matt._ xii. 42; see also 1
_Kings_ x. 1.

[Asterism] According to tradition, the queen of the south had a son by
Solomon, named Melech, who reigned in Ethiopia or Abyssinia, and added
to his name the words Belul Gian ("precious stone"), alluding to a ring
given to him by Solomon. Belul Gian translated into Latin, became
_pretiosus Joannes_, which got corrupted into Prester John (_presbyter
Johannes_), and has given rise to the fables of this "mythical king of
Ethiopia."

=Queen of the Swords.= Minna Troil was so called, because the gentlemen,
formed into two lines, held their swords so as to form an arch or roof
under which Minna led the ladies of the party.--Sir W. Scott, _The
Pirate_ (time, William III.).

[Asterism] In 1877, W. Q. Orchardson, R. A., exhibited a picture in
illustration of this incident.
