France ... demands his bones [_Napoleon’s_], To carry onward in the battle’s van, To form, like Guesclin’s dust, her talisman. Byron, _Age of Bronze_, iv. (1821). =Gugner=, Odin’s spear, which never failed to hit. It was made by the dwarf Eitri.—_The Eddas_. =Guide´rius=, eldest son of Cym´beline, (3 _syl._), king of Britain, and brother of Arvir´agus. They were kidnapped in infancy by Belarius, out of revenge for being unjustly banished, and were brought up by him in a cave. When grown to manhood, Belarius introduced them to the king and told their story; whereupon Cymbeline received them as his sons, and Guiderius succeeded him on the throne.—Shakespeare, _Cymbeline_ (1605). Geoffrey calls Cymbeline “Kymbelinus, son of Tenuantius;” says that he was brought up by Augustus Cæsar, and adds, “In his days was born our Lord Jesus Christ.” Kymbeline reigned ten years, when he was succeeded by Guiderius. The historian says that Kymbeline _paid_ the tribute to the Romans, and that it was Guiderius who refused to do so, “for which reason Claudius the emperor marched against him, and he was killed by Hamo.”—_British History_, iv. 11, 12, 13 (1142). =Guido,= “the Savage,” son of Amon and Constantia. He was the younger brother of Rinaldo. Being wrecked on the coast of the Am´azons, he was compelled to fight their ten male champions, and having slain them all, to marry ten of the Amazons. From this thraldom Guido made his escape, and joined the army of Charlemagne.—Ariosto, _Orlando Furioso_ (1516). _Guido_ [FRANCESCHINI], a reduced nobleman, who tried to repair his fortune by marrying Pompilia, the putative child of Pietro and Violantê. When the marriage was accomplished, and the money secure, Guido ill-treated the putative parents; and Violantê, in revenge, declared that Pompilia was not their child at all, but the offspring of a Roman wanton. Having made this declaration, she next applied to the law-courts for the recovery of the money. When Guido heard this tale, he was furious, and so ill-treated his child-wife that she ran away, under the protection of a young canon. Guido pursued the fugitives, overtook them, and had them arrested; whereupon the canon was suspended for three years, and Pompilia sent to a convent. Here her health gave way, and as the birth of a child was expected, she was permitted to leave the convent and live with her putative parents. Guido, having gained admission, murdered all three, and was himself executed for the crime.—R. Browning, _The Ring and the Book_. =Guild= (_Engineer_), who, in passing through Providence at night, was wont to give a signal to his wife which meant— “To my trust true, So, love to you! Working or waiting, good night!” One night the whistle was not heard. “Guild lay under his engine dead.”—Francis Bret Harte, _Guild’s Signal_.
