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 Dueña"). 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.--Molière, _La Tartuffe_ (1664). _Cléante_ (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 Cléante solved the difficulty thus: He dug up a casket of gold from the garden, hidden under a tree by the miser, and while Harpagon was raving about the loss of his gold, Cléante told him he might take his choice between Mariane and the gold. The miser preferred the casket, which was restored to him, and Cléante married Mariane.--Molière, _L'Avar_ (1667). _Cléante_ (2 _syl_.), the lover of Angelique, daughter of Argan the _malade imaginaire_. As Argan had promised Angelique in marriage to Thomas Diafoirus, a young surgeon, Cléante carries on his love as a music-master, and though Argan is present, the lovers sing to each other their plans under the guise of an interlude called "Tircis and Philis." Ultimately, Argan assents to the marriage of his daughter with Cléante.--Molière, _Le Malade Imaginaire_ (1673). CLEAN'THE (2 _syl_.), sister of Siphax of Paphos.--Beaumont and Fletcher, _The Mad Lover_ (1617). _Cleanthe_ (3 _syl_.), the lady beloved by Ion.--Talfourd, _Ion_ (1835).
