to his father-in-law's title. Fought for York at St Albans 1455; victorious at Northampton 1460, and brought Henry VI captive to London; joined Edward of York (Edw. IV) and with him defeated the Lancastrians at Towton; was of great power and influence at the beginning of Edw. IV's reign, but disapproved of the King's marriage with Elizabeth Woodville; married his daughter to George, D. of Clarence, 1469; joined the Lancastrians, and proclaimed Henry VI king; Edward fled to Flanders, but, returning, defeated Warwick at Barnet, 1471, where the Earl was slain; cf. Hall, p. 296.

Of him Hall (pp. 231-2) writes: 'not onely a man of marvelous qualities and facundious facions but also from his youth, by a certayn practice or naturall inclinacion, so set them forward, with witte and gentle demeanour, to all persons of high and of lowe degre, that emong all sortes of people he obteyned great love, much favour, and more credence'; his hospitality, riches and noble birth gave him such influence 'that whiche waie he bowed, that waye ranne the streame, and what part he avaunced, that syde gat the superiorite.'

D.P. 2 Hen. VI. 'Earl of Warwick, of the York faction.' i, 1] sheds tears on hearing of the loss of Anjou and Maine; vows to win the latter back from France. i, 3] displays his animosity against Somerset. ii, 2] listens to York's claim to the throne, and is convinced of its justice (Hol. iii, 657). iii, 2] is commanded to view the body of Gloucester, and then 'comment on his sudden death'; later, reports that he was undoubtedly murdered; is challenged by Suffolk, whom he calls 'bloodsucker of sleeping men'; later, is accused by Suf. of having set upon him with the men of Bury'; (the King has 'great matters' to impart to Warwick). iii, 3] present at Beaufort's death. (iv, 1) mtd. v, 1] is called by Henry, Salisbury's 'brain-sick son'; exchanges defiance with Clifford. v, 2] (at St Albans) ‘is hoarse with calling' Clifford to arms; but York claims the combat. v, 3] rejoices in the victory 'won by famous York.'

In Warwick's exclamation 'Anjou and Maine, myself did win them both' (i, 1), he is clearly confused with another E. of Warwick, viz. Richard Beauchamp (q.v.).

W.'s claim to 'old Neville's crest, the rampant bear' (v, 1) was only based on his marriage with Anne, sister of Henry Beauchamp, D. of Warwick. The crest of the N.s was a bull's head.

D.P. 3 Hen VI. i, 1] hails Richard, D. of York, as rightful king, and leads him to the throne; takes part in the debate which ensues; summons armed men into the Parliament House; agrees to Henry's proposal to reign for life; determines to 'keep London' with his soldiers; mtd. as 'Chancellor and

Lord of Calais' (historically, the latter only). (i, 2) mtd. ii, 1] announces the Yorkist defeat at St Albans, but proposes to attack the Queen and her adherents with fresh forces. ii, 2] is derided by the Queen as 'longtongued W.' who fled at St Albans. ii, 3] (at Towton) kills his horse to show he will not flee (Hol. iii, 664). ii, 4] p.m. (ii, 5) ‘W. rages like a chafed bull. ii, 6] orders Clifford's head to be substituted for York's over the city gates; proposes seeking Lady Bona's hand for Edward. (iii, 1) goes to France. iii, 3] on Edward's behalf, presents a proposal of marriage to the Lady Bona (Hol. iii, 667); wrangles with Oxford on the respective rights of Henry and Edw.; gains the goodwill of King Lewis in spite of Q. Margaret's expostulations; is amazed to learn that Edw. has married Lady Grey (Hol. iii, 668); renounces him, and resolves to adhere to Henry; gives his daughter in marriage to Prince Edw. (Hol. iii, 674); vows to be revenged on Edw. of York. (iv, 1) his action reported to K. Edw. iv, 2] plans the capture of K. Edw. iv, 3] seizes Edw. in his tent (Hol. iii, 673); upbraids him for disgracing him as envoy; removes his crown. (iv, 4) proceeds to London. (iv, 5) mtd. iv, 6] is made, by Henry, joint protector of the realm with Clarence (Hol. iii, 678); hears that Edw. has escaped to Burgundy. (iv, 7) mtd. iv, 8] devises means to resist Edward's forces. v, 1] (at Coventry) bids defiance to Edw. from the walls; welcomes reinforcements, but is disappointed at Clarence's defection; (his 'coal-black hair'). v, 2] (at Barnet) is mortally wounded, and made prisoner. (v, 4) Q. Margaret speaks of him as our anchor.' (v, 7) K. Edw. commemorates his valour.

་

In Rich. III. (i, 1) mtd. (i, 3) mtd. as Clarence's 'father'; C. speaks of him as 'my great father-in-law, renowned W.' (ii, 1) 'mighty W.' (iv, 1) mtd. by his d. Anne.

Warwick is 'The Last of the Barons' in Lytton's historical romance of that name: 'A man who stood colossal amidst the iron images of the age, the great. est and last of the old Norinan chivalry,-kinglier in prido, in state, in possessions, and in renown than the King himself.'

Newgate. One of the main gates of old London, N. of Ludgate; used as a prison from very early times. This gate hath of long time been a gaol as appeareth by records in the reign of king John' (Stow). 'Fal. Must we all march? Bard. Yea, two and two, N. fashion' (1 Hen. IV, iii, 3).

Cf. Dekker, Satiromastix (1601): 'Why, then, come, we'll walk arm in arm, as though we were leading one another to N.'

Nicholas (2). D.P. Tam. Sh. One of Petruchio's servants. iv, 1] welcomes Grumio.

Nicholas, or Nicolas, St. Patron saint of the young, and especially of scholars. He was also the patron of merchants and travellers. The reason for robbers being called 'St N.'s clerks,' appears to be either that he was prayed to for protection by travellers, or that wandering scholars-who were licensed to beg-had gained a dubious reputation for honesty. Warburton made the improbable suggestion that a quibble between St N. and 'old Nick' is intended.

'Speed. Try me in thy paper. Launce. There; and St N. be thy speed' (T.G.V. iii, 1); 'If they meet not with St N.'s clerks, I'll give thee this neck. I know thou worshippest St N. as truly as a man of falsehood may' (1 Hen. IV, ii, 1).

The name 'Oberon' is doubtless taken from Huon of Bordeaux, a transln. by Ld. Berners of an old French romance. This was dramatized in 1593, but the play is lost. The French form 'Auberon' is in turn derived from the Teut. 'Elberick,' or 'Alberick.' The Oberon of Huon has, however, little in common with Sh.'s. He is a misshapen dwarf, of angelic visage, the son of Julius Caesar by the grandmother of Alexander the Great. It is noteworthy, however, that the 'fairy' of Huon lives in the far East, while the Oberon of M.N.D. has come from the farthest steep of India'; the changeling, moreover, about whom the Fairy King and Queen fall out, was stolen from an 'Indian' King.

'Oberon, King of Fairies,' also appears in Greene's drama The Scottish Historie of James IV, c. 1590. It has been contended by Sir A. W. Ward (Eng. Dram. Hist. (1875), i, 380) that 'the idea of the entire ma. chinery of Ob. and his fairy court was in all proba. bility taken from' this play of Greene's. This opinion, however, is modified by the same critic (ib. p. 220) when he admits that though Greene's Oberon is the same personage as he who figures in the M.N.D.,' he is very differently drawn, 'if, indeed, he can be said to be drawn at all. Cf. Furness, Var. p. 278.

Obidicut. Name of a fiend. 'Of lust, as O.' (Lear, iv, 1).

Qq; omitted Ff.

Occident. The western regions of the sky, or of the world. 'His [the sun's] bright passage to the Oc.' (Rich. II, iii, 3); ‘I may wander From east to oc.' (Cymb. iv, 2, 1. 372).

Octavia. Younger daughter of C. Octavius (praetor 61 B.C.), by his 2nd wife Atia, and thus own sister of Octavius (Augustus). Married, first to C. Marcellus, and, secondly, to Mark Antony. Confused by Plutarch (p. 179) with her half-sister, who was d. of Ancharia, 1st wife of C. Octavius. Acc. Plut. she composed the strife between Ant. and her brother Oct. (p. 183); was left under her brother's care (p. 184); followed Ant. as far as Athens, but at his bidding returned to Rome (pp. 200-1); remained loyal to her faithless husband (p. 201).

D.P. Ant. Cl. (ii, 2) her marriage to Ant. arranged. ii, 3] expresses her devotion to Ant. (ii, 4) mtd. (ii, 5) wedded to Ant. (ii, 6) characterized. (iii, 3) described to Cl. iii, 2] bids her brother farewell. iii, 4] seeks to reconcile Ant. with him. iii, 6] returns (from Athens) and learns that Ant. has rejoined Cleopatra; laments that her heart is 'parted betwixt two friends, That do afflict each other!' (iv, 10) 'patient Oct.' (iv, 13) 'with her modest eyes.' (v, 2) 'the sober eye of dull Oct.'

The nobility of Oct. is manifested by the maternal care with which she brought up Antony's children by Cleopatra.

Octavius, Caius (63 B.C.-A.D. 14). Son of C. Octavius by Atia, niece of Jul. Caes.; on being adopted by his great-uncle, his name was changed to Julius Caesar Octavianus. After the murder of Jul. Caes., Oct. first joined the republican party and aided in the defeat of Ant. at Mutina; soon afterward he was reconciled to Ant. and became triumvir. In 42 B.C. Oct. and Ant. defeated Brutus and Cassius at Philippi. In the following year
