eve, _The
Double Dealer_ (1700).

=Massasowat.= The account given by Edward Winslow of the illness of
Massasowat--the friendly Indian chief whose alliance with the pilgrim
father ceased only with his life--is a curious contribution to colonial
literature. The remedies and diet used by Winslow are so extraordinary
as to give unintentional point to his remark--"We, with admiration,
blessed GOD for giving his blessing to such rare and ignorant
means."--Edward Winslow, _Good News from New England_ (1624).

=Mason= (_William_). The medallion to this poet in Westminster Abbey was
by Bacon.

_Mason_ (_Lady_). She forges a will purporting to be by her husband,
securing his estate to herself and her son. Nobody suspects the fraud
for years. When inquiry arises, Lady Mason is engaged to a gallant old
baronet who will not credit her guilt until, conscience-smitten, she
throws herself at his feet and acknowledges all.

_Lucius Mason._ The priggish, good-looking youth for whom Lady Mason
risks so much. When he learns the truth he is stern in his judgment of
the unhappy woman.--Anthony Trollope, _Orley Farm_.

=Master= (_The_). Goethe is called _Der Meister_ (1749-1832).

I beseech you, Mr. Tickler, not to be so sarcastic on "The
Master."--_Noctes Ambrosiana._

_Master_ (_The Old_). Mythical personage, whose breakfast-table
monologues are among the most charming that enliven the pages of Oliver
Wendell Holmes's _Poet at the Breakfast Table_. "I think he suspects
himself of a three-story intellect, and I don't feel sure that he isn't
right."

=Master Adam=, Adam Billaut, the French poet (1602-1662).

=Master Humphrey=, the narrator of the story called "The Old Curiosity
Shop."--C. Dickens, _Master Humphrey's Clock_ (1840).

=Master Leonard=, grand-master of the nocturnal orgies of the demons. He
presided at these meetings in the form of a three-horned goat with a
black human face.--_Middle Age Demonology._

=Master, like Man= (_Like_).

Such mistress, such Nan;
Such master, such man.

Tusser, xxxviii. 22.

Again:

Such master, such man; and such mistress, such maid;
Such husband and huswife; such houses arraid.

T. Tusser, _Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry_,
xxxix. 22 (1557).

=Master Matthew=, a town gull.--Ben Jonson, _Every Man in His Humor_
(1598).

=Master Stephen=, a country gull of melancholy humor. (See MASTER
MATTHEW).--Ben Jonson, _Every M
