=Guyn´teline= or =Guithtlin=, according to Geoffrey, son of Gurgiun´e Brabtrue (_British History_, iii. 11, 12, 13); but, according to Drayton, son of Gurgustus, an early British king. (See GURGUSTUS). His queen was Martia, who codified what are called the Martian Laws, translated into Anglo-Saxon by King Alfred. (See MARTIAN LAWS.) Gurgustus ... left what his great father won To Guynteline his heir, whose queen ... To wise Mulmutius laws her Martian first did frame. Drayton, _Polyolbion_, viii. (1612). =Guyon=, (_Sir_), the personification of “temperance.” The victory of temperance over intemperance is the subject of bk. ii. of the _Faëry Queen_. Sir Guyon first lights on Amavia (intemperance of _grief_), a woman who kills herself out of grief for her husband; and he takes her infant boy and commits it to the care of Medi´na. He next meets Braggadoccio (intemperance of the _tongue_), who is stripped bare of everything. He then encounters Furor (intemperance of _anger_), and delivers Phaon from his hands. Intemperance of _desire_ is discomfited in the persons of Pyr´oclês and Cym´oclês; then intemperance of _pleasure_, or wantonness, in the person of Phædria. After his victory over wantonness, he sees Mammon (intemperance of _worldly wealth and honor_); but he rejects all his offers, and Mammon is foiled. His last and great achievement is the destruction of the “Bower of Bliss,” and the binding in chains of adamant the enchantress Acrasia (or _intemperance_ generally). This enchantress was fearless against Force, but Wisdom and Temperance prevail against her.—Spenser, _Faëry Queen_, ii. 12 (1500). =Guyot= (_Bertrand_), one of the archers in the Scottish guard attached to Louis XI.—Sir W. Scott, _Quentin Durward_ (time, Edward IV.). =Guzman d’Alfara´che= (_4 syl._), hero of a Spanish romance of roguery. He begins by being a dupe, but soon becomes a knave in the character of stable-boy, beggar, swindler, pander, student, merchant, and so on.—Mateo Aleman (1599). =Guzman.= The priest who brings up _Don Juan_ in Mansfield’s play of that name. He tries to train the boy aright; failing in this, he screens him and palliates his offences; makes a desperate effort to save his life when he is menaced by Don Alonzo, frustrated by the youth’s chivalric self-devotion, and is with the hapless prisoner at the moment of his death.—Richard Mansfield, _Don Juan_ (1891). =Gwenhid´wy=, a mermaid. The white foamy waves are called her sheep, and the ninth wave her ram. Take shelter when you see Gwenhidwy driving her flock ashore.—_Welsh Proverb_. ... they watched the great sea fall, Wave after wave, each mightier than the last; Till, last a ninth one, gathering half the deep, And full of voices, slowly rose and plunged, Roaring, and all the wave was in a flame. Tennyson, _The Holy Grail_.
