_Galatea_, a wise and modest lady attending on the princess in the drama of _Philaster_ or _Love Lies a-bleeding,_ by Beaumont and Fletcher (1608). =Gala´tine= (3 _syl._), the sword of Sir Gaw´ain, King Arthur’s nephew.—Sir T. Malory, _History of Prince Arthur_, i. 93 (1470). =Galbraith= (_Miss Lucy_), a young lady who finds herself _en tête-a-tête_ with her _çi-devant_ lover in a parlor-car. Conversation ensues and a quarrel. Upon attempting to leave the car, she discovers that it is uncoupled and solitary upon the track. In the fright of the alarm caused by what she assumes to be peril, she falls into her lover’s arms entreating forgiveness. The reconciliation is complete by the time they arrive safely at Schenectady.—W. D. Howells, _The Parlor Car, A Farce_ (1876). =Galbraith= (_Major Duncan_), of Garschattachin, a militia officer.—Sir W. Scott, _Rob Roy_ (time, George I.). =Ga´len=, an apothecary, a medical man (in disparagement). Galen was the most celebrated physician of ancient Greece, and had a greater influence on medical science than any other man before or since (A. D. 130-200). Unawed, young Galen bears the hostile brunt, Pills in his rear, and Cullen in his front. Wm. Falconer, _The Midshipman_. Dr. William Cullen, of Hamilton, Lanarkshire, author of _Nosology_, (1712-1790). =Gal´enist=, a herb doctor. The Galĕnist and Paracelsian S. Butler, _Hudibras_, iii. 3 (1678). =Galeotti Martivalle=, (_Martius_), astrologer of Louis XI. Being asked by the superstitious king if he knew the day of his own death, the crafty astrologer replied that he could not name the exact day, but he had learnt thus much by his art—that it would occur just twenty-four hours before the decease of his majesty (ch. xxix.).—Sir W. Scott, _Quentin Durward_ (time, Edward IV.). ⁂ Thrasullus the soothsayer made precisely the same answer to Tibe´rius, emperor of Rome. =Galera´na= is called by Ariosto the wife of Charlemagne; but the nine wives of that emperor are usually given as Hamiltrude (3 _syl._), Desidera´ta, Hil´degarde (3 _syl._), Fastrade (2 _syl._), Luitgarde, Maltegarde, Gersuinde, Regi´na, and Adalin´da.—Ariosto, _Orlando Furioso_, xxi. (1516).
