=Graunde Amoure= (_Sir_), walking in a meadow, was told by Fame of a beautiful lady named La belle Pucell, who resided in the Tower of Musyke. He was then conducted by Gouvernance and Grace to the Tower of Doctrine, where he received instruction from the seven Sciences:—Gramer, Logyke, Rethorike, Arismetricke, Musyke, Geometry, and Astronomy. In the Tower of Musyke he met La belle Pucell, with whom he fell in love, but they parted for a time. Graunde Amoure went to the Tower of Chivalry to perfect himself in the arts of knighthood, and there he received his degree from King Melyz´yus. He then started on his adventures, and soon encountered False Report, who joined him and told him many a lying tale; but Lady Correction, coming up, had False Report soundly beaten, and the knight was entertained at her castle. Next day he left, and came to a wall where hung a shield and horn. On blowing the horn, a three-headed monster came forth, with whom he fought, and cut off the three heads, called, Falsehood, Imagination, and Perjury. He passed the night in the house of Lady Comfort, who attended to his wounds; and next day he slew a giant fifteen feet high and with seven heads. Lastly, he slew the monster Malyce, made by enchantment of seven metals. His achievements over, he married La belle Pucell, and lived happily till he was arrested by Age, having for companions Policye and Avarice. Death came at last to carry him off, and Remembrance wrote his epitaph.—Stephen Hawes, _The Passe-tyme of Plesure_ (1515). _Graunde Amoure’s Steed_, Galantyse, the gift of King Melyz´yus when he conferred on him the degree of knighthood. I myselfe shall give you a worthy stede, Called Galantyse, to helpe you in your nede. Stephen Hawes, _The Passe-tyme of Plesure_, xxviii. (1515). _Graunde Armoure’s sword_, Clare Prudence.

Mrs. Hamilton [1730-1788], upon her entrance, was saluted with a storm of hisses, and advancing to the footlights said, “Gemmen and ladies, I s’pose as how you hiss me because I wouldn’t play ‘Lady Graveairs’ last night at Mrs. Bellamy’s benefit. I would have done so, but she said as how my audience stunk, and were all tripe people.” The pit roared with laughter, and the whole house shouted “Mrs. Tripe!” a title which the fair speechifier retained ever after.—_Memoir of Mrs. Hamilton_ (1803.) =Gray=, (_Old Alice_), a former tenant of the Ravenswood family.—Sir W. Scott, _Bride of Lammermoor_ (time, William III.). _Gray_ (_Dr. Gideon_), the surgeon at Middlemas. _Mrs. Gray_, the surgeon’s wife.
