hunted the Covenanters with real vindictiveness, and is a by-word
for barbarity and cruelty (1650-1689).

CLAVIJO _(Don)_, a cavalier who "could touch the guitar to admiration,
write poetry, dance divinely, and had a fine genius for making
bird-cages." He married the Princess Antonomesia of Candaya, and was
metamorphosed by Malambruno into a crocodile of some unknown metal.
Don Quixote disenchanted him "by simply attempting the adventure."--
Cervantes, _Don Quixote_, II. iii. 4, 5 (1615).

CLAVILEN'O, the wooden horse on which Don Quixote got astride in order
to disenchant the Infanta Antonoma'sia, her husband, and the Countess
Trifaldi (called the "Dolori'da Duena"). It was "the very horse
on which Peter of Provence carried off the fair Magalone, and was
constructed by Merlin." This horse was called Clavileno or wooden Peg,
because it was governed by a wooden pin in the forehead.--Cervantes,
_Don Quixote_, II. iii. 4, 5 (1615).

There is one peculiar advantage attending this horse; he neither eats,
drinks, sleeps, nor wants shoeing.... His name is not Pegasus, nor
Bucephalus; nor is it Brilladoro, the name of the steed of Orlando
Furioso; neither is it Bayarte, which belonged to Reynaldo de
Montalbon; nor Bootes, nor Peritoa, the horses of the sun; but his
name is Clavileno the Winged.--Chap. 4.

CLAYPOLE _(Noah), alias_ "Morris Bolter," an ill-conditioned
charity-boy, who takes down the shutters of Sowerberry's shop and
receives broken meats from Charlotte (Sowerberry's servant), whom he
afterwards marries.--C. Dickens, _Oliver Twist_ (1837).

CLAY AND RANDOLPH. In his _Thirty Years' View_, Thomas Hart Benton
gives a graphic description of the famous duel between Henry Clay and
John Randolph, of Roanoke (April 8, 1826).

After two shots had been exchanged without injury to either, the two
statesmen shook hands, Randolph remarking: "You owe me a coat, Mr.
Clay," a bullet having passed through his; and Mr. Clay answered: "I
am glad the debt is no greater!" (1854).

CLEANTE (2 _syl_.), brother-in-law of Orgon. He is distinguished
for his genuine piety, and is both high-minded and
compassionate.--Moliere, _La Tartuffe_ (1664).

_Cleante_ (2 _Syl._), son of Har'pagon the miser, in love with Mariane
(3 _syl_.). Harpagon, though 60 years old, wished to marry the same
young lady, but Cleante solved the difficulty thus: He dug up a casket
of gold from the garden, hidden under a tree by the miser, and while
Harpagon w
