used an ear-trumpet. =Rez'io= (_Dr._) or "Pedro Rezio of Ague'ro," the doctor of Barata'ria, who forbade Sancho Panza to taste any of the meats set before him. Roast partridge was "forbidden by Hippoc'rat[^e]s." Podri'da was "the most pernicious food in the world." Rabbits were "a sharp-haired diet." Veal was "prejudicial to health." But, he said, the governor might eat "a few wafers, and a thin slice or two of quince."--Cervantes, _Don Quixote_, II. iii. 10 (1615). =Rhadaman'thus=, son of Jupiter and Euro'pa. He reigned in the Cyclad[^e]s with such partiality, that at death he was made one of the judges of the infernal regions. And if departed souls must rise again ... And bide the judgment of reward or pain ... Then Rhadamanthus and stern Minos were True types of justice while they liv[`e]d here. Lord Brooke, _Monarchie_, i. (1554-1628). =Rhampsini'tos=, king of Egypt, usually called Ram'es[^e]s III., the richest of the Egyptian monarchs, who amassed 72 millions sterling, which he secured in a treasury of stone. By an artifice of the builder, he was robbed every night.--_Herodotus_, ii. 121. A parallel tale is told of Hyrieus [_Hy'.ri.uce_] of Hyr[)i]a. His two architects, Troph[=o]nios and Agam[=e]d[^e]s (brothers), built his treasure-vaults, but left one stone removable at pleasure. After great loss of treasure, Hyrieus spread a net, in which Agame'des was caught. To prevent recognition, Trophonios cut off his brother's head.--Pausanias, _Itinerary of Greece_, ix. 37, 3. A similar tale is told of the treasure-vaults of Aug[)e]as, king of Elis. =Rha'sis= or Mohammed Aboubekr ibn Zakaria el Razi, a noted Arabian physician. He wrote a treatise on small-pox and measles, with some 200 other treatises (850-923). Well, error has no end; And Rhasis is a sage. R. Browning, _Paracelsus_, iii. =Rhea's Child.= Jupiter is so called by Pindar. He dethroned his father, Saturn. The child Of Rhea drove him [_Saturn_] from the upper sky. Akenside, _Hymn to the Naiads_ (1767). =Rheims= (_The Jackdaw of_), The cardinal-archbishop of Rheims made a great feast, to which he invited all the joblillies of the neighborhood. There were abbots and prelates, knights and squires, and all who delighted to honor the great panjandrum of Rheims. The feast over, water was served, and his lordship's grace, drawing off his turquoise
