Moses was himself ten cubits in stature [_fifteen feet_], and he took a spear ten cubits long, and threw it ten cubits high, and yet it only reached the heel of Og.... When dead, his body reached as far as the river Nile, in Egypt. Og’s mother was Enac, a daughter of Adam. Her fingers were two cubits long [_one yard_], and on each finger she had two sharp nails. She was devoured by wild beasts.--Maracci. In the satire of _Absalom and Achitophel_, by Dryden and Tate, Thomas Shadwell, who was a very large man, is called “Og.” =O´gier, the Dane=, one of the paladins of the Charlemagne epoch. When 100 years old, Morgue, the fay, took him to the island of Av´alon, “hard by the terrestrial paradise;” gave him a ring which restored him to ripe manhood, a crown which made him forget his past life, and introduced him to King Arthur. Two hundred years afterwards, she sent him to defend France from the paynims, who had invaded it; and having routed the invaders, he returned to Avalon again.--_Ogier, le Danois_ (a romance). In a pack of French cards, Ogier, the Dane, is knave of spades. His exploits are related in the _Chansons de Geste_; he is introduced by Ariosto in _Orlando Furioso_, and by Morris in his _Earthly Paradise_ (“August”). _Ogier’s Swords_, Curtāna (“the cutter”) and Sauvagine. _Ogier’s Horse_, Papillon. =Ogle= (_Miss_), friend of Mrs. Racket; she is very jealous of young girls, and even of Mrs. Racket, because she was some six years her junior.--Mrs. Cowley, _The Belle’s Stratagem_ (1780). =O´gleby= (_Lord_), an old fop, vain to excess, but good-natured withal, and quite the slave of the fair sex, were they but young and fair. At the age of 70, his lordship fancied himself an Adonis, notwithstanding his qualms and his rheumatism. He required a great deal of “brushing, oiling, screwing, and winding up before he appeared in public,” but when fully made up, was game for the part of “lover, rake, or fine gentleman.” Lord Ogleby made his bow to Fanny Sterling, and promised to make her a countess; but the young lady had been privately married to Lovewell for four months.--Colman and Garrick, _The Clandestine Marriage_ (1766). =O´gri=, giants who fed on human flesh. =O’Groat= (_John_), with his two brothers, Malcolm and Gavin, settled in Caithness in the reign of James IV. The families lived together in harmony for a time, and met once a year at John’s house. On one occasion a dispute arose about precedency--who was to take the head of the table, and who was to go out first. The old man said he would settle the question at the next annual muster; accordingly he made as many doors to his house as there were families, and placed his guests at a round table.
