=Pauline=, “The Beauty of Lyons,” daughter of M. Deschappelles, a Lyonese merchant; “as pretty as Venus, and as proud as Juno.” Pauline rejected the suits of Beauseant, Glavis and Claude Melnotte; and the three rejected lovers combined on vengeance. To this end, Claude, who was a gardener’s son, pretended to be the Prince Como, and Pauline married him, but was indignant when she discovered the trick which had been played upon her. Claude left her, and entered the French army, where in two years and a half he rose to the rank of colonel. Returning to Lyons, he found his father-in-law on the eve of bankruptcy, and Pauline about to be sold to Beauseant for money to satisfy the creditors. Being convinced that Pauline really loved him, Claude paid the money required, and claimed the lady as his loving and grateful wife.--Lord L. B. Lytton, _The Lady of Lyons_ (1838). _Pauline_ (_Mademoiselle_) or MONNA PAULA, the attendant of Lady Erminia Pauletti, the goldsmith’s ward.--Sir W. Scott, _The Fortunes of Nigel_ (time, James I.). =Pauline Pavlovna=, heroine of T. B. Aldrich’s drama of that name (1890). =Pauli´nus= of York, christened 10,000 men, besides women and their children in one single day in the Swale. (Altogether some 50,000 souls, _i.e._ 104 every minute, 6,250 every hour, supposing he worked eight hours without stopping.) When the Saxons first received the Christian faith, Paulinus of old York, the zealous bishop then, In Swale’s abundant stream christened ten thousand men, With women and their babes, a number more besides, Upon one happy day. Drayton, _Polyolbion_, xxviii. (1622). =Paulo=, the cardinal and brother of Count Guido Franceschi´ni. He advised the count to repair his bankrupt fortune by marrying an heiress.--R. Browning, _The Ring and the Book_. =Paupiah=, the Hindû steward of the British governor of Madras.--Sir W. Scott, _The Surgeon’s Daughter_ (time, George II.). =Pausa´nias= (_The British_), William Camden (1551-1623). Pausanias was a traveller and geographer in the 2d century A.D., who wrote an Itinerary of Greece. Camden wrote in Latin his “Brittania,” a survey of the British Isles. =Pauvre Jacques.= When Marie Antoinette had her artificial Swiss village in the “Little Trianon,” a Swiss girl was brought over to heighten the illusion. She was observed to pine, and was heard to sigh out, _pauvre Jacques_! This little romance pleased the queen, who sent for Jacques, and gave the pair a wedding portion; while the Marchioness de Travanet wrote the song called _Pauvre Jacques_, which created at the time quite a sensation. The first and last verses run thus: Pauvre Jacques, quand j’etais près de toi, Je ne sentais pas ma misère; Mais à présent que tu vis loin de moi, Je manque de tout sur la terre. Poor Jack, while I was near to thee, Tho’ poor, my bliss was unalloyed; But now thou dwell’st so far from me, The world appears a lonesome void.
