isienne_, called "The _Marseillaise_ of 1830," by Casimir Delavigne, the same year. 2. _La France a l'Horreur du Servage_, by Casimir Delavigne (1843). 3. _Le Champ de Bataille_, by Emile Debreaux (about 1830). The chief political songs of B['e]ranger are: _Adieux de Marie Stuart_, _La Cocarde Blanche_, _Jacques_, _La D['e]esse_, _Marquis de Carabas_, _Le Sacre de Charles le Simple_, _Le Senateur_, _Le Vieux Caporal_, and _Le Vilain_. In the American Revolution the air of _Yankee Doodle_ was sung to various sets of words, all derisive of the British and exhilarating to the Americans. In the Civil War of the United States _The Star-Spangled Banner_, _Hail Columbia_, _Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!_ and Julia Ward Howe's _Battle Hymn of the Republic_ to the air of _John Brown's Body Lies Mouldering in the Ground_ were favorites with the Federal troops. Among the Confederates, _Dixie_, and _Maryland, My Maryland_, were most popular. =Rewcastle= (_Old John_), a Jedburgh smuggler, and one of the Jacobite conspirators with the laird of Ellieslaw.--Sir W. Scott, _The Black Dwarf_ (time, Anne). =Reynaldo=, a servant to Polonius.--Shakespeare, _Hamlet_ (1596). =Reynard the Fox=, the hero of the beast-epic so called. This prose poem is a satire on the state of Germany in the Middle Ages. Reynard represents the Church; Isengrin, the wolf (his uncle), typifies the baronial element; and Nodel, the lion, stands for the regal power. The plot turns on the struggle for supremacy between Reynard and Isengrin. Reynard uses all his endeavors to victimize every one, especially his uncle, Isengrin, and generally succeeds.--_Reinecke Fuchs_ (thierepos,[TN-125] 1498). =Reynardine= (3 _syl._), eldest son of Reynard the Fox. He assumed the names of Dr. Pedanto and Crabron.--_Reynard the Fox_ (1498). =Reynold of Montalbon=, one of Charlemagne's paladins. =Reynolds= (_Sir Joshua_), is thus described by Goldsmith: Here Reynolds is laid; and, to tell you my mind, He has not left a wiser or better behind. His pencil was striking, resistless and grand; His manners were gentle, complying and bland ... To coxcombs averse, yet most civilly steering, When they judged without skill he was still hard of hearing; When they talked of their Raphaels, Corregios, and stuff, He shifted his trumpet, and only took snuff. _Retaliation_ (1774). N.B.--Sir Joshua Reynolds was hard of hearing, and
