nmouth (see previous art.), nor with Arthurian romance (see MORDRED),
and is, therefore, given separately.

=Modu=, the prince of all devils that take possession of a human being.

_Mado_ was the chief devil that had possession of Sarah Williams;
but ... Richard Mainy was molested by a still more considerable
fiend called _Modu_, ... the prince of all other devils.--Harsnett;
_Declaration of Popish Impostures_, 268.

=Modus=, cousin of Helen; a "musty library, who loved Greek and Latin;"
but cousin Helen loved the bookworm, and taught him how to love far
better than Ovid could with his _Art of Love_. Having so good a teacher,
Modus became an apt scholar, and eloped with Cousin Helen.--S. Knowles,
_The Hunchback_ (1831).

=Moe'chus=, adultery personified; one of four sons of Caro (_fleshly
lust_). His brothers were Pornei'us (_fornication_), Acath'arus and
Asel'g[^e]s (_lasciviousness_). In the battle of Mansoul, Moechus is slain
by Agnei'a (_wifely chastity_), the spouse of Encra't[^e]s (_temperance_)
and sister of Parthen'ia (_maidenly chastity_). (Greek, _moichos_ "an
adulterer.")--Phineas Fletcher, _The Purple Island_, xi. (1633).

=Moeli'ades= (4 _syl._). Under this name William Drummond signalized
Henry, prince of Wales, eldest son of James I., in the monody entitled
_Tears on the Death of Moeliad[:e]s_. The word is an anagram of
_Mil[^e]s a Deo_. The prince, in his masquerades and martial sports,
used to call himself "Moeliad[^e]s of the Isles."

Moeliad[^e]s, bright day-star of the West.

W. Drummond, _Tears on the Death of Moeliades_ (1612).

The burden of the monody is:

Moeliad[^e]s sweet courtly nymphs deplore,
From Thul[^e] to Hydasp[^e]s' pearly shore.

=Moffat= (_Mabel_), domestic of Edward Redgauntlet.--Sir W. Scott,
_Redgauntlet_ (time, George III.).

=Mogg Megone.= Indian sachem who, at the behest of a white girl, kills her
betrayer, and brings his scalp to her. In the storm of anguished remorse
awakened by the sight of the bloody trophy, the woman murders Megone in
his sleep, and is henceforth banned by the church, driven by conscience,
a miserable wanderer upon the earth.--John Greenleaf Whittier, _Mogg
Megone_.

=Moha'di= (_Mahommed_), the twelfth imaum, whom the Orientals believe is
not dead, but is destined to return and combat Antichrist before the
consummation of all things.

[Asterism] Prince Arthur, Merlin, Charlemagne, Barbarossa
