tening the desert where dwell the Camanches.
Longfellow, _To the Driving Cloud_.

CAMARALZAMAN, prince of "the Island of the Children of Khaledan,
situate in the open sea, some twenty days' sail from the coast of
Persia." He was the only child of Schahzaman and Fatima, king and
queen of the island. He was very averse to marriage; but one night,
by fairy influence, being shown Badoura, only child of the king of
China, he fell in love with her and exchanged rings. Next day both
inquired what had become of the other, and the question was deemed
so ridiculous that each was thought to be mad. At length Marzavan
(foster-brother of the princess) solved the mystery. He induced the
prince Camaralzaman to go to China, where he was recognized by
the princess and married her. (The name means "the moon of the
period.")--_Arabian Nights_ ("Camaralzaman and Badoura").

CAMBALLO, the second son of Cambuscan king of Tartary, brother of
Algarsife (_3 syl._) and Canace (_3 syl._). He fought with two
knights who asked the lady Canace to wife, the terms being that none
should have her till he had succeeded in worsting Camballo in combat.
Chaucer does not give us the sequel of this tale, but Spenser says
that three brothers, named Priamond, Diamond, and Triamond were
suitors, and that Triamond won her. The mother of these three (all

Spenser makes Cambina (daughter of Agape) the lady-love of Camballo.
Camballo is also called Camballus and Cambel.

_Camballo's Ring_, given him by his sister Canace, "had power to
stanch all wounds that mortally did bleed."

Well mote ye wonder how that noble knight,
After he had so often wounded been,
Could stand on foot now to renew the fight ...
All was thro' virtue of the ring he wore;
The which not only did not from him let
One drop of blood to fall, but did restore
His weakened powers, and his dulled spirits whet.
Spenser, _Faery Queen_, iv. 2 (1596).

CAMBEL, called by Chaucer Camballo, brother of Canace (_3 syl._). He
challenged Every suitor to his sister's hand, and overthrew them all
except Triamond. The match between Cambel and Triamond was so
evenly balanced, that both would have been killed had not Cambina
interfered. (See next art.)--Spenser, _Faery Queen_, iv. 3 (1596).

CAMBINA, daughter of the fairy Agape (_3 syl._). She had been
trained in magic by her mother, and when Camballo, son of Cambuscan,
