Then the bishop took a wafer, which was made in the likeness of bread, and at the lifting up [_the elevation of the host]_ there came a figure in the likeness of a child, and the visage was as red and as bright as fire; and he smote himself into that bread; so they saw that the bread was formed of a fleshly man, and then he put it into the holy vessel again ... then he took the holy vessel and came to Sir Galahad as he kneeled down, and there he received his Saviour ... then went he and kissed Sir Bors ... and kneeled at the table and made his prayers; and suddenly his soul departed ... and a great multitude of angels bear his soul to heaven.—Sir T. Malory, _History of Prince Arthur_, iii. 101-103 (1470). ⁂ Sir Galahalt, the son of Sir Brewnor, must not be confounded with Sir Galahad, the son of Sir Launcelot. =Galahalt= (_Sir_), called “The Haut Prince,” son of Sir Brewnor. He was one of the knights of the Round Table. =Gal´antyse= (3 _syl._), the steed given to Graunde Armoure by King Melyzyus. And 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). =Ga´laor= (_Don_), brother of Am´adis de Gaul. A _desultor amoris_, who, as Don Quixote says, “made love to every pretty girl he met.” His adventures form a strong contrast to those of his more serious brother.—_Amadis de Gaul_ (fourteenth century). A barber in the village insisted that none equalled “The Knight of the Sun” [i.e. _Amadis_], except Don Galaor his brother.—Cervantes, _Don Quixote,_ I. 1 (1605). =Gal´apas=, a giant of “marvellous height” in the army of Lucius, king of Rome. He was slain by King Arthur. [_King Arthur_] slew a great giant named Galapas ... He shortened him by smiting off both his legs at the knees, saying, “Now art thou better of a size to deal with than thou wert.” And after, he smote off his head.—Sir T. Malory, _History of Prince Arthur_, I. 115 (1470). =Gal´aphron= or GALLAPHRONE (3 _syl._), a king of Cathay, father of Angelica.—Bojardo, _Orlando Innamorato_ (1495); Ariosto, _Orlando Furioso_ (1516). When Agrican ... besieged Albracca ... The city of Gallaphrone, whence to win The fairest of her sex, Angelica. Milton, _Paradise Regained_, iii. (1671). =Galasp=, or rather George Gillespie, mentioned by Milton in _Sonnet_, x., was a Scottish writer against the independents, and one of the “Assembly of Divines” (1583-1648). See Colkitto. =Galatea.= Lovely statue, made by Pygmalion, and endued with life by Venus at the prayer of the sculptor-lover. =Galate´a=, a sea-nymph, beloved by Polypheme (3 _syl._) She herself had a heartache for Acis. The jealous giant crushed his rival under a huge rock, and Galatēa, inconsolable at the loss of her lover, was changed into a fountain. The word Galatea is used poetically for any rustic maiden. ⁂ Handel has an opera called _Acis and Galatea_ (1710).
