=Goodman of Ballengeich=, the assumed name of James V. of Scotland when he made his disguised visits through the districts round Edinburgh and Stirling. ⁂ Haroun-al-Raschid, Louis XI., Peter “The Great,” etc., made similar visits in disguise, for the sake of obtaining information by personal inspection. =Good´man Grist=, the miller, a friend of the smugglers.—Sir W. Scott, _Redgauntlet_ (time, George III.). =Goodricke= (_Mr._), a Catholic priest at Middlemas.—Sir W. Scott, _The Surgeon’s Daughter_ (time, George II.). =Goodsire= (_Johnnie_), a weaver, near Charles’s Hope farm.—Sir W. Scott, _Guy Mannering_ (time George II.). =Goodwill=, a man who had acquired £10,000 by trade, and wished to give his daughter Lucy in marriage to one of his relations, in order to keep the money in the family: but Lucy would not have any one of the boobies, and made choice instead of a strapping footman. Goodwill had the good sense to approve of the choice.—Fielding, _The Virgin Unmasked_. =Goody Blake=, a poor old woman detected by Harry Gill picking up sticks from his farm-land. The farmer compelled her to leave them, and threatened to punish her for trespass. Goody Blake turned on the lusty yeoman, and said never from the moment should he know the blessing of warmth; and sure enough, neither clothing, fire, nor summer sun ever did make him warm again. No word to any man he utters, A bed or up, to young or old; But ever to himself he mutters, “Poor Harry Gill is very cold.” Wordsworth, _Goody Blake and Harry Gill_ (1798). =Goody Palsgrave=, a name of contempt given to Frederick V., elector palatine. He is also called the “Snow King” and the “Winter King,” because the Protestants made him king of Bohemia in the autumn of 1619, and he was set aside in the autumn of 1620. =Goody Two-shoes=, a nursery tale supposed to be by Oliver Goldsmith, written in 1765 for Newbery, the bookseller of St. Paul’s Churchyard. =Goose Gibbie=, a half-witted lad, first entrusted to “keep the turkeys,” but afterwards “advanced to the more important office of minding the cows.”—Sir W. Scott, _Old Mortality_ (time, Charles II.). =Goosey Goderich=, Frederick Robinson, created viscount Goderich in 1827. So called by Cobbett, for his incapacity as a statesman (premier 1827-1828). =Gor´boduc=, GORBODUG, or GORBOGUD, a mythical British king, who had two sons (Ferrex and Porrex). Ferrex was driven by his brother out of the kingdom, and on attempting to return with a large army, was defeated by him and slain. Soon afterwards, Porrex himself was murdered in his bed by his own mother, Widen, who loved Ferrex the better.—Geoffrey, _British History_, ii. 16 (1142). _Gorboduc_, the first historical play in the language. The first three acts by Thomas Norton, and the last two by Thomas Sackville, afterwards Lord Buckhurst (1562). It is further remarkable as being the father of Iambic ten-syllable blank verse.
