6) Icel, (7) Pybba,
(8) Osmod, (9) Enwulf, (10) Thingferth, (11) Offa, whose son was Egfert,
who died within a year of his father. His daughter, Eadburga, married
Bertric, king of the West Saxons; and after the death of her husband,
she went to the court of King Charlemagne. Offa reigned thirty-nine
years (755-794).

=O'Flaherty= (_Dennis_), called "Major O'Flaherty." A soldier, says he, is
"no livery for a knave," and Ireland is "not the country of dishonor."
The major pays court to old Lady Rusport, but when he detects her
dishonest purposes in bribing her lawyer to make away with Sir Oliver's
will, and cheating Charles Dudley of his fortune, he not only abandons
his suit, but exposes her dishonesty.--Cumberland, _The West Indian_
(1771).

=Og=, king of Basan. Thus saith the rabbis:

The height of his stature was 23,033 cubits [_nearly six miles_].
He used to drink water from the clouds, and toast fish by holding
them before the orb of the sun. He asked Noah to take him into the
ark, but Noah would not. When the flood was at its deepest, it did
not reach to the knees of this giant. Og lived 3000 years, and then
he was slain by the hand of Moses.

Moses was himself ten cubits in stature [_fifteen feet_], and he
took a spear ten cubits long, and threw it ten cubits high, and yet
it only reached the heel of Og.... When dead, his body reached as
far as the river Nile, in Egypt.

Og's mother was Enac, a daughter of Adam. Her fingers were two
cubits long [_one yard_], and on each finger she had two sharp
nails. She was devoured by wild beasts.--Maracci.

In the satire of _Absalom and Achitophel_, by Dryden and Tate, Thomas
Shadwell, who was a very large man, is called "Og."

=O'gier, the Dane=, one of the paladins of the Charlemagne epoch. When 100
years old, Morgue, the fay, took him to the island of Av'alon, "hard by
the terrestrial paradise;" gave him a ring which restored him to ripe
manhood, a crown which made him forget his past life, and introduced him
to King Arthur. Two hundred years afterwards, she sent him to defend
France from the paynims, who had invaded it; and having routed the
invaders, he returned to Avalon again.--_Ogier, le Danois_ (a romance).

In a pack of French cards, Ogier, the Dane, is knave of spades. His
exploits are related in the _Chansons de Geste_; he is introduced by
Ariosto in _Orlando Furioso_, and by Morris in
